Going Green

The season has started, and we are full of new products for the homeowner.

First, let's start with the "GreenSmart" remote.  Having an on/off thermostat for your wood or pellet stove is not necessarily new, but having a remote that anticipates temperature settings and automatically raises and lowers the flame height, adjusts the blower and back lighting, and can turn off one of the burners to offer a 70% turn-down ratio.  Our gas fireplaces and inserts cannot be beat.  They are heavier with more reinforced steel, eliminating all banging.  We have the greatest number of face plates to match your decor.  And, just as important, are units out heat the competition.  We heat homes, not just rooms

For wood stoves, "GreenStart" has emerged onto the scene.  Load your wood stove, press a button, and walk away.  Your stove is lit.  How cool is that?

But there is more.  Travis has been releasing  their new line of "Hybrid" stoves, non-cat stoves with catalytic assist, bringing emissions down to a record 0.45%.  The better the emissions the better the heat transfer, using less wood with less work.  I think we would all like that.

Pellets anyone?  I hope so, and once again we have a winner with the new AGP pellet stove or insert.  Yes, these stoves will burn All Grades of Pellets.  Independent feed rate and convection controls, very quiet, holds up to 80 lbs, and a breeze to clean and service.  This stove is a winner.
