Shopping Local has Ripple Effects
7 January 2021
The weeks during the holidays are traditionally the busiest shopping days of the year. Last year, a record 189.6 million U.S. consumers shopped the five-day period from Thanksgiving Day through Cyber Monday, an increase of 14% over 2018, according to the National Retail Federation.
Shoppers in 2020 are expected to spend more, a 29% increase in e-commerce compared to 2019 and a 5% bump in in-store sales is being forecasted. Yet those predictions are triggering concern that consumers will end up spending millions at national or international businesses to the detriment of local businesses struggling to keep up amid the challenges of the coronavirus pandemic.
Retailers see 20% of their annual sales in November and December. In this unique and challenging year, sales are even more critical for many small businesses. After months of outright shutdowns and dwindling business and increased operating costs, local retailers are counting on consumers to truly #ShopLocal.
While the pandemic has been hard on everyone, restaurants and local retail shops have been particularly hard hit.
Buying from smaller, local businesses has benefits beyond just that individual business. Studies show that when you buy from a locally owned store, significantly more of your money is then used to make purchases from other local businesses and service providers, thus multiplying the impact your dollar has within the community.
And local spending generates sales tax revenue that stays in our community, supports our local schools, and helps keep and create jobs.
In fact, a recent report found that from 2012 to 2019, 60% of all new jobs created were created by businesses with fewer than 100 employees. Over the past five years, total employment for all businesses increased by 1.8%.
Small businesses have worked tirelessly to adapt to the demands of the pandemic. Many have also increased their capacity for online sales and shipping. If you feel the same way we do about supporting local businesses and our local economy, consider taking the time to shop local, whether in-person or online.
Help make this a joyous holiday for everyone: Give the gift of your business to a local business.

Coziness of a Wood Fire Without All the Hassle
30 December 2020
If you are looking to add a cozy feel to your home, very few things do the trick quite like a wood burning fireplace. If you are looking to mimic that feel without all the hassle, Kozy heat offers their Roosevelt 29 gas burning fireplace insert that is designed to fit perfectly into almost any space. Here are some reasons the Roosevelt 29 gas fireplace insert is a great replacement to a traditional wood burning fireplace.
Efficiency
One of the major drawbacks to wood-burning fireplaces is their inefficiency. With a gas burning fireplace, you do not have to worry about losing heat or not evenly warming your space. The gas mechanism for lighting the flame stays consistent and precise, allowing the fireplace to run at peak heat efficiency.
Safety
With build up of soot and tar from previous burns, wood-burning fireplaces and chimneys require yearly check ups and cleanings. With gas burning fireplace inserts, you do not have to worry about the flames leaving their contained area, and the clean burn of the gas prevents build up of soot.
A Clean Look
Despite their being a bit more of a rustic feel to an exceptionally old fireplace, with models like our Roosevelt 29 gas burning fireplace insert, you can achieve close to that same charm. Kozy Heat has custom shrouds to fit almost any fireplace hole so you can keep the look and charm of your fireplace and surroundings
When you combine the Roosevelt 29 with our hand-crafted high definition logs and realistic flame, you’ll soon forget that old drafty fireplace that you once had. With multiple design options available, the Roosevelt can also be customized to match any décor, perfect for customers looking to add charm and a homey feel to their space.

We wish you and your entire family happiness, health, and warmth this Holiday season. Our warmest regards to you all.
Before You Buy a Fireplace
16 December 2020
Selecting a new fireplace is not unlike selecting a new car: It’s important to look at sticker price as a starting point. Fireplaces have options like a car does. You have simple models to deluxe models. What’s reflected in the sticker price is often the most basic option.
So it’s important not just to consider the manufacturer’s suggested retail price (MSRP), but also research the costs of other components and variables such as:
- Installation and venting
- Cleaning and maintenance
- Operating costs
- Labor
- Wall finishings or surrounds
- Upgrades or add-ons for functionality or aesthetics
A local fireplace retailer will help you narrow down the selection by prompting you to think about your needs, wants, and space. Many showrooms also offer a pre-visit checklist to get you thinking about the basics before you even call or step foot in the store. This will save time and help the sales representative show you models in your budget that fit your lifestyle and home.

Review of the Beale Street Pellet Grill: The Best High-End Pellet Grill
28 October 2020
Smoked BBQ Source Reviews the Beale Street: Is this the Best High-End Pellet Grill?
Memphis Grills is known for their premium quality wood pellet grills which they design, engineer and test in the USA.
The Beale Street is their “entry level” grill and is priced to be more competitive with premium brands like Yoder.
After cooking on the Beale Street for the last few months, I can confidently say that nothing about this grill feels entry level.
Let’s get the basics out of the way. The Beale Street is a 26-inch freestanding pellet grill made from 430 stainless steel for outstanding heat retention. You get 558 square inches of cooking space, which can be expanded up to 817 square inches with an optional grate.
With a lot of pellet grills, it feels like you’re stuck choosing either the latest technology or a well-built grill. The Beale Street manages to achieve both.
The WiFi Intelligent Temperature Control system lets you manage the temperature of your grill from your phone or tablet. And, while many pellet grills struggle to sear properly, the optional add-on Direct Flame Insert lets you sear steak or burgers over a direct flame.
What I like:
- Simplicity: This is the easiest grill to get to grilling/smoking that I have tested. Turn it on. Set the temp you want. Walk away. Just plain simple.
- Build Quality: Dual wall construction. Entirely 430 stainless steel. Oh, the build quality of this thing. It is truly impressive. This grill will last for many years and look good doing it.
- Thick Stainless-Steel Grates: I love these thick stainless-steel grates. These are made for the long haul. They transmit a good sear to food, and they are easy to clean.
- Pellet Burning Efficiency: This may seem silly or uninteresting to others, but out of all the grills/smokers I have tested, this has been the most efficient one to date. The PID controller that this model uses really shines when it comes to controlling the auger and fan systems to get the most out of every pellet.
- Memphis Grill App and WIFI connection: Talk about control at the push of a button. You can control basically any setting on your grill from the Memphis Grills App.
It also comes with a generous amount of powerful and high-tech features like high heat direct flame searing and “adjust from your phone” Wi-Fi connectivity.
Ease of assembly
The grill arrived in a large cardboard box with packaging for days! But that is a good thing. The grill parts were very well protected from outside the box dangers, but also from each other.
Assembly took 42 minutes with a few simple tools at a conservative pace. This grill was not difficult to assemble, and the instructions were easy to read.
Using the Beale Street:
Using this grill is stupid easy. It’s the easiest pellet grill I have ever tested.
Fill the hopper, plug the grill in, hit the “on” button, scroll to the temperature that you want and walk away. That’s it!
Temperature accuracy of grill and probes:
The grill probe is located in the middle of the grill at the very back. It measures what you see on the display for grill temp and is calibrated to measure its location and then translate what the temp of the grill would be in the middle of the grill. I ran some tests at different temperature settings to measure the consistency.
Temperature Consistency:
The grill has few swings in temps from minute to minute. Controlling a live fire to this degree is impressive, especially in an outside environment with an unknown wind variable.
Pellet consumption and cleanout:
Thanks to the excellent construction and slightly smaller size, the Beale Street is incredibly efficient when it comes to pellet consumption.
The PID controller really shines when it comes to controlling the auger and fan systems to get the most out of every pellet. For those who like to completely clean out all the pellets after each cook or changeover from one pellet flavor to another, there is no specifically designed fast cleanout feature on this grill. However, it is still easy enough to accomplish. Simply remove the pellet hopper guard via the 2 Phillips head screws that hold it on. Then you can empty the hopper using your hands. This doesn’t take long as the hopper only holds up to 12 lbs of pellets.
Grill technology
This grill connects to your Wi-Fi network and can be completely controlled from the Memphis App via your phone or smart device.
What do I mean? I mean you can actually CHANGE the temperature setting of the grill, set a timer, adjust your meat probe desired temp, get alerts via text message, and even turn the grill off ALL from your phone or smart device.
Build quality
I mean it when I say the build quality of this Memphis Beale Street grill is flawless.
I looked over every inch of every part of this grill looking for a blemish, a scratch, a mess up on a weld or a corner.Nothing. Nada. This grill is a shiny stainless-steel masterpiece.
Cleaning
I run the grill on high heat for about 30-45 min occasionally and then use the scraper for any left-on food particles. It scrapes right off. I also generally wipe down the outside of the grill with a damp cloth followed by a dry towel. There’s really nothing difficult about cleaning this grill.
Customer service
Memphis Grills’ customer service was very helpful in getting me up and grilling. The instructions that they sent were very clear and concise. If you decide to make one of these grills your own, you can do so knowing that this company’s customer service is there to support you if you need them.
Who should buy this grill?
The Beale Street is a high-end pellet grill suitable for most people.
If you want a versatile, high-quality grill, the Beale Street is a great option. The grill performs at a high level, is simple to operate, has the convenience of Wi-Fi, great searing options for a pellet grill and will last a long time.

Heating with Wood For Beauty, Efficiency, and Ambiance
20 August 2020
If this winter turns out to be as robust in weather as this summer was with heat, then we can all expect to do a good bit of shivering and shaking in the next few months. Although everyone can benefit from weatherproofing and insulation, many people are taking their cost-savings initiatives a step further—looking for alternative forms of home heating. Stoves and Fireplace Inserts that burn wood have given rise to a wide range of new home heating options to keep homes warm during storms and outages.
With more and more people interested in home heating options more homeowners are installing modern wood-burning stoves and fireplace inserts. But saving money isn’t the only reason to consider this time-honored method of heating your home. There is also an intangible quality of having a wood-burning stove as the center of your home. What could be more welcoming on a cold winter day than the warmth and glow of a crackling fire?
The benefits of heating with wood are many: It is environmentally responsible because you are using a renewable resource instead of fossil fuels; it supports the local economy; it lowers your heating bills; and it puts you in control. Wood stoves and inserts for fireplaces have come a long way in the past decade. They are more attractive, with styles to fit just about every décor. They are more efficient and cleaner burning than old models. They’re also easier to operate and safer.
Aside from the charm of a crackling fire, there is no similarity between wood-burning stoves today and those found in homes 20 years ago. Today’s stoves are clean-burning and efficient—most of what goes up the chimney is just carbon dioxide and water vapor. There is virtually no smoke or odor.

Should You Buy a Pellet Grill?
12 August 2020
Gas and charcoal grills have dominated for more than half a century. Gas delivers convenience, because it starts instantly, and lets you easily control heat with dials. Charcoal gives you control, because you can build and shape any size fire to direct the heat, and the fuel imparts a smokier flavor. But, charcoal is not as easy to use as gas.
What if there were a grill that is even easier to use than gas—and also imparted a distinctly smoky flavor, reminiscent of food cooked over charcoal? That’s the promise of pellet grills.
Pellet grills have been around for more than 30 years, but they are really starting to gain in popularity. They’ve made the shift into the mainstream in part because the recent surge in the popularity of grilling.
Pellet grills are the perfect fit if you like the true taste of grilling with wood. They're versatile enough to tackle chops, fish, and of course, classics, like ribs, brisket, and pulled pork. You can even cook pizza, breads, and burgers.
Pellet grills are exceptionally easy to start and offer a level of temperature control without equal. They also excel at cooking things like veggies, chicken breasts, pork chops, or just about anything that can border on boring if you're grilling it over gas. And though they may not operate at a hugely broad temperature range, it's easy to see how for an aspiring pitmaster, or even a casual backyard chef, a pellet grill is tough to beat.

Fire Pit Tables are Perfect for Outdoor Heating and Ambiance
25 June 2020
Whether you already have a stunning outdoor display or are planning your DIY backyard design, furniture, plants, shade, and outdoor heating are a few of the things you’ll want to include. When it comes to outdoor heating, consider Fire Pit Tables for your outdoor space.
Fire Pit Tables
Fire pit tables are amongst one of the most popular design trends for homeowners. Fire pit tables provide a great centerpiece with entertaining guests and are a great source of heat when the sun goes down. The convenience of a fire pit table is a major benefit in customizing your outdoor space. Contrary to a wood-burning fire pit, a gas fire table turns on at the flip of a switch and will light up instantly whenever you want some warmth or ambiance. When you’re done using your fire pit there is no need to “put it out” like with a wooden fire pit, simply turn it off and head inside. And, there is no smoke! Easy usability allows for use beyond the summer season, making it a perfect accessory to have in the chiller months of fall and spring.
For homes aspiring to accomplish the modern look, a Cove Square Fire Pit Bowl or Kinney Fire Pit Table from Outdoor Greatroom are great options for adding some flair to your backyard. The Crystal Fire® Plus technology of the burners are the best in the market at providing strong and vibrant flames to keep your family warm and cozy all night long.
As some families spend most of their time on a patio, it is also nice to have a heating option that can easily fit in a tight space. The newest Outdoor Greatroom fire table, the Havenwood, is a more traditional gas fire pit table style that looks great on a porch or patio for outdoor entertainment and relaxation.

Fire Tables Made in the USA
3 June 2020
In a world full of competitive pricing, it can be difficult to notice the minor details, such as where a product is made. When you purchase a product made in the USA, whether it be a fire pit table or a pair of boots, you are making a decision that will leave you feeling better and made to run the distance.
There is always a sense of pride when supporting the land of the free, home of the brave, but there are also tangible, hidden benefits when choosing American-made products.
Safety and Durability
Products made in the USA are made to last. With strict safety standards set in place, such as the Underwriter’s Laboratory (UL), a USA made fire table is required to prioritize health and safety… something that should be done when ‘playing with fire.’ A newer feature the Outdoor GreatRoom Company (OGC) offers is its Crystal Fire® Plus burner that includes a safety ignition and shutdown valve that automatically closes if the gas source cannot be detected.
Using durable materials, such as Supercast concrete or impenetrable stainless steel, ensures a structure and design that will survive harsh and extreme weather conditions. The Cove Gas Fire Pit Bowl, in 3 unique color options, is a great option to consider. Its unique, upscale design and concrete-enforced structure has become one of the OGC’s most popular products.
Purchasing from U.S. manufacturers also tends to be less of a hassle. Purchasing a gas fire pit can be a big investment. Buying local allows for industry experts to guide you into getting the best product for your outdoor room. If there is ever an issue with the product, you will experience readily available customer service that will provide a timely and personalized response to your needs. A neighborly relationship is something you just don’t get from overseas production or from purchasing on-line. At the Woodstove Fireplace and Patio Shop our prices are always at the minimum advertised price with is the same price you’ll get from the internet companies.
Are you looking to find a custom outdoor fire table that complements your backyard landscaping or house? Customization is another benefit of buying local. Being able to customize a standard fire pit into your own, one-of-a-kind product is much easier when done locally.
Supporting Local
Although there are numerous benefits to buying products made in the USA, like product support, faster shipping, a more personal experience, and a product that is made with tender love and care. Your decision to purchase locally supports not only your local business but your community as well. Those dollars you spend stay in your community supporting other local purchases, jobs, and tax revenues to fund your police and fire departments, roads, schools, etc.
The Outdoor GreatRoom Company is a family company with family values, as is the Woodstove Fireplace & Patio Shop. Our goal is for you to feel like family. Contact us for help in choosing an outdoor gas fire table for your home.

Kansas City Style Ribs with Creamy Coleslaw
24 May 2020
These juicy Kansas City Style Ribs are the perfect combination of sweet and heat! Use your choice of BBQ rub, spritz with apple juice and serve with the creamy but easy-to-make coleslaw—seconds, please!
Ingredients:
- 3 racks of St Louis Cut Pork Ribs
- Sweet and Hot BBQ rub
- Parkay Butter
- Agave Nectar
- Brown Sugar
- Apple Juice in a spritzer
- 2 Cups Sweet BBQ Sauce
- 1 Cup Agave Nectar
- Creamy Coleslaw:
- 2 Cups Mayonnaise
- 3 Tbs Dijon Mustard
- 2 Tbs White Distilled Vinegar
- 1 Tbs Celery seed
- 1/4 Cup Sugar
- 2 Tbs Veggie Rub
- 16 oz Coleslaw
Preparation:
- Combine all the ingredients in the coleslaw and let it sit in the fridge for at least one hour before serving.
- Remove the end bones from each slab of ribs to give a square appearance. Trim any excess fat from the ribs and pull the membrane off the backside of the ribs.
- Season both sides of the ribs with a good dusting of the BBQ rub. You want to use a rub with a sweet and hot flavor profile and contains paprika. Don’t be afraid to experiment. We often use two different rubs to create different layers of flavors. Let the ribs sweat for 45 minutes before you place them in the grill.
- Set up the Memphis Wood Fire Grill for Smoke Mode and 235F. Use Cherry wood pellets for a good flavor and color.
- Place the ribs in the grill and cook for 2 hours. Spritz with Apple Juice every 30 minutes.
- Place two sheets of aluminum foil on the counter big enough to wrap the ribs. Layer butter, brown sugar, and agave nectar on the foil. Place a slab of ribs meat side up and sprinkle butter, brown sugar and ageve nectar on top. Add a tablespoon of apple juice to the foil as well. Close the foil carefully and repeat for the other slab.
- Place the wrapped ribs back on the grill and continue to cook for 2 hours or until tender. Be sure to check the ribs for tenderness at the 90 minute mark.
- When a few of the larger bones are exposed on the back and the slab bends easily when lifted the ribs are ready to come off the grill. Also check with a probe - when the probe goes into the meat between the bones like in hot butter, they are ready for saucing. Open the foil and let the ribs steam for a couple of minutes
- Mix BBQ sauce and agave nectar. Coat the ribs on both side with the BBQ Sauce and place them back in the grill for a last time. Let the sauce set for 5-10 minutes. Remove the ribs from the grill.
- Slice and serve with the creamy coleslaw.

National BBQ Month
7 May 2020
May is National Barbecue Month. This is the great time to get that grill or smoker that you've always wanted and to spend time with the family outdoors. To celebrate National BBQ month, we’re offering free assembly and delivery on most grills in addition to the many sales we’re running.
Buying a new grill is an investment. The Woodstove Fireplace & Patio Shop is open and available to help you choose the grill that best meets your needs and budget. Below are some important things to consider when choosing the grills that is right for you.
What do you plan to cook?
This is perhaps the most important question you can ask. Are you mainly steaks and burgers or do you plan to try your hand at smoking or larger items like turkey. There are gas grills, wood charcoal grills, pellet grills, and grills that can use a combination of these fuels. Many grills come with extra features ideal for certain foods. Think rotisserie if you love a roasted chicken, side burners if you love soups and stews, and ample space for pizza stones if that is your thing. Speaking of pizza, you may even want to consider a dedicated pizza oven as an option.
How much time do you have to cook?
Each type of grill typically requires varying levels of time commitment. If you’re often on the go and hard pressed for free cooking time, consider the convenience of gas. Planning on low-and-slow cooking ribs or a brisket? A charcoal or pellet, smoke may be your best choice.
What’s your budget?
We carry grills ranging from around $500 to several thousand. To help you with your investment we offer 6 month interest free financing. If your finances allow, purchasing a more premium grill will not only provide more features, but will ensure a longer life and stronger return on your initial investment. Many of the grills we carry come with a lifetime warranty.
What’s your space?
If you have a big backyard, consider a larger grill perhaps with a kitchen island to create a focal point for relaxation and entertaining. Premium portable or more compact grills are ideal for condos and apartments. In addition, do you frequently host large gatherings? Go big on your barbecue size to make the most of these special occasions.
What accessories will you need?
National BBQ month is also time to evaluate accessories that can enhance your cooking experience. Ensure you have a good protective cover, proper cleaning tools and a working meat thermometer. It’s also a fun time to go in on new accessories that meet your cooking style; think Bluetooth temperature gauges, griddles for breakfast cooking, veggie baskets and more.
We’re open Tuesday – Friday from 10 until 5 and Saturday 10 until 3. Stop in if you’d like to see these grills in person or give us a call or send us a request to discuss options. We can handle your entire transaction without you ever having to leave the comfort and safety of your home. Be well and happy grilling!

Contemporary Gas Fireplace Inserts for AmazingTransformations of Your Living Space
6 March 2020
Contemporary gas burning fireplace inserts serve an important purpose. Modern gas fireplace inserts can fit right into the space of your old masonry wood burning fireplace. This is great news for homeowners with a masonry chimney. It is an excellent remedy for rejuvenating any room, and can easily take the place of your open masonry hearth.
How Fireplace Inserts Work
Fireplace inserts are an effective and simple way to convert your wood burning unit into a gas fireplace. The replacement unit is basically a firebox made of metal with gas jets that hook into a gas line. The unit is connected to a gas jet near the device's bottom. A venting pipe runs through the chimney's length and safely dispels any fumes away from the home's interior. Your gas fireplace insert arrives with decorative logs, glass media or rock media kits that will give the illusion of a natural burning fire.
Fireplace Insert Benefits
A major benefit is that there are no irritating ashes to contend with. The look from burning logs, while pleasant smelling, can be a hassle and time consuming. Additional benefits include the option of installing a host of accessories with your gas unit. Accessories, with your unit, can enhance your home's beauty in meaningful ways.
When it comes to a gas insert, fireplace accessories are plentiful with Kozy Heat and The Woodstove Fireplace & Patio Shop. We are professionals that you can count on to carry all the parts and products that your fireplace will ever need.
Memphis Grills Beale Street Review: Is This the Best High-End Pellet Grill?
26 February 2020
Let’s get the basics out of the way. The Beale Street is a 26-inch freestanding pellet grill made from 430 stainless steel for outstanding heat retention.
You get 558 square inches of cooking space, although this can be expanded up to 817 square inches with an optional grate.
With a lot of pellet grills, it feels like you’re stuck choosing either the latest technology or a well-built grill.
I’m happy to report that the Beale Street manages to achieve both.
You tech heads out there will be happy with the WiFi intelligent temperature control that lets you manage the temperature of your grill from your phone or tablet.
Specifications:
Many pellet grills struggle to sear properly. Memphis Grills gets around this by offering an optional add-on Direct Flame Insert. This lets you sear steak or burgers over the direct flame.
What I like:
- Simplicity: This is the easiest grill to get to grilling/smoking that I have tested. Turn it on. Set the temp you want. Walk away. Just plain simple.
- Build Quality: Dual wall construction. Entirely 430 stainless steel. Oh, the build quality of this thing. It is truly impressive. This grill will last for many years and look good doing it.
- Thick Stainless Steel Grates: I love these thick stainless steel grates. These are made for the long haul. They transmit a good sear to food, and they are easy to clean.
- Pellet Burning Efficiency: This may seem silly or uninteresting to others, but out of all the grills/smokers I have tested, this has been the most efficient one to date. The PID controller that this model uses really shines when it comes to controlling the auger and fan systems to get the most out of every pellet.
- Memphis Grill App and WIFI connection: Talk about control at the push of a button. You can control basically any setting on your grill from the Memphis Grills App.
Optional Accessories
Direct Flame Insert
I would consider this a must-have for steaks and burgers at a minimum. The high heat and searing power of the Beale Street grill is amplified when using the direct flame insert.
In the photos below you can see how the insert turns the middle of the grill into a searing zone that is more than capable.
This attachment is included with the more expensive Memphis Grills, so I assume they left it off the Beale Street to keep costs down.
If you only plan on smoking and baking you probably won’t need it.
Heavy Duty Meat Probe
I would also consider this a must have.
Aside from that, it opens up additional features for this grill. With these meat probes, you can set the meat probe temp, and an audible alarm will go off when it reaches the desired temp.
Once it’s reached the desired temp, it will automatically reduce the grill’s temp to a low level to keep your food warm. How awesome is that?
Extendable Grate Kit:
I believe this is a take it or leave it kind of accessory. I feel like the grill has plenty of cooking area already. However, if you feel like you could use more space, go for it.
Genie Tool:
Optional, but preferred. You technically don’t have to have this one, but it is a fairly handy tool.
It helps scrape grates, move grates, and lifts the flavorizer insert for cleaning or changing to direct flame insert.
It does a couple other things as well. All around helpful tool to have.
Grill Cover:
Must have. Gotta keep the investment in great shape! Fits well. Appears to be good quality cover.

Pellet Stoves Use Renewable Energy
17 December 2019
Pellet stoves are similar to wood stoves in concept, but they have automated operation and burn processed biomass for fuel. The pellets are manufactured from compacted sawdust, wood chips, agricultural crop waste, wastepaper and other materials.
How Pellet Stoves Work
Pellet stoves are designed to heat a space directly. The flue in a pellet stove can be directly vented through a wall, which means that no chimney is required. This makes them easy and convenient to add to any home. Pellets are stored in a hopper that can generally hold enough pellets for the stove to run for more than a day.Pellet stoves use electricity to run three motorized systems that operate automatically:
- A screw auger feeds pellets into the fire at a controlled rate
- An exhaust fan vents exhaust gases and draws in combustion air
- A circulating fan forces air through the heat exchanger and into the room.
Maintenance
Pellet stoves require maintenance, but less maintenance than a wood burning stove. They should be inspected regularly. The hopper must be filled and the ashtray should be emptied on a weekly basis.
Additionally, the stove should have a yearly check-up to ensure that the doors, gaskets, electric connections and seals on the stove are in good condition. The chimney should also be checked for creosote, rust and corrosion.
Efficiency
Pellet stove efficiency ratings are published by the manufacturers. The efficiency ratings combine electrical efficiency, combustion efficiency (which is a measure of the heat produced while burning), and heat transfer efficiency. Efficiencies can range from 78% to 80%. More efficient stoves lose less heat up the chimney and deliver more heat into the home.

Update Your Fireplace
23 October 2019
There’s something nostalgic about burning wood in a fireplace. It’s a simple pleasure to be serenaded by the familiar crackling sound of wood burning while taking in woodsy aromas. But making time for it isn’t always so simple. Cutting and stacking wood, building fires, and cleaning up ash are time-consuming propositions that our busy lifestyles don’t always allow. Over time, a masonry-built fireplace can also become dated. Does this sound like your fireplace? We have the answer to upgrade your fireplace, and it doesn’t involve a lengthy or expensive remodeling project. It’s called a fireplace insert.
As the name suggests, a gas fireplace insert fits directly into your existing fireplace, greatly enhancing its performance and beauty. Operated by the flip of a switch or remote control, gas fireplace inserts burn natural gas or liquid propane, so there’s no ash to clean up.
Elevate Your Style
A 15- to 25-year old fireplace is just that – a 15- to 25- year old fireplace. A fireplace insert upgrade will give it a major facelift, and the work can be completed in a day or two.
Add Function and Efficiency
Your old wood fireplace is probably less efficient than you might think. Some masonry-built, open fireplaces like the one on the left below can exhaust as much as 24,000 cubic feet of warm air to the outside, while drawing cold air in through the doors and windows of the home. A gas insert will turn that around immediately, making your fireplace up to 85% efficient and your home warmer.

This National Fireplace Month, Think Beyond the Living Room for Your Next Fireplace or Stove
15 October 2019
What makes a house a home? Its fireplace. What makes that fireplace special? The design, beauty and comfort of the hearth.
But the hearth isn’t just for your living room anymore.
October is National Fireplace Month, and we want to remind home builders and homeowners that, thanks to the ingenuity of designers and architects, a beautiful hearth can center any room of the house.
The hearth is the home’s heartbeat, the connection point for all who live there. For centuries, when you think of hearths, you envision living rooms and dens, but our lifestyles have changed. Where we congregate and how we spend our time has evolved. Combine those changes with home builders and remodelers’ creativity, and you can now consider a fireplace for nearly any room.
Consider these six spaces:
- Bedrooms: Make your bedroom even cozier and consider giving it a cabin-like feel with a gas fireplace or even a stove.
- Kitchen: Steep your morning tea and read the news at your breakfast nook warmed by an assuring, alluring flame.
- Office/study: Want to fire up your best thinking? A sleek electric fireplace beside your home desk can be your best collaborator.
- TV room: Fireplaces are the new flat screens. As more consumers cut the cable cords, hearth manufacturers are boldly reclaiming their rightful place as the TV room’s focal point, offering thin, long, horizontal gas fireplaces for installing in the center of the wall.
- Bathrooms: An evening soak in warm suds can be made even more relaxing and intimate with a remote-control fireplace
- Your outside wall: Want to make your home even more open? An indoor/outdoor fireplace connecting your favorite indoor room to your backyard patio truly opens up the home.
Warming up to the idea of fireplaces beyond the living room? Contact The Woodstove Fireplace & Patio Shop, your specialty retailer.
Time for Home Improvements , October is National Fireplace Month!
1 October 2019
Contemporary, see-through fireplaces that warm multiple rooms. Prefabricated gas fireplaces that mount directly to the wall. Electric fireplaces that look realistic and can really put out the heat.
No, these are not the fireplaces you knew when growing up in your parent’s home. Today’s fireplaces are designed for visual excitement, two-sided exposure and installation in locations previously unconsidered.
The conventional fireplace has all but been reinvented in recent years. Today’s fireplaces cater to the specific needs and wants of homeowners.
A decade ago, generally only the extremely wealthy would have considered having more than one fireplace in the house but, there are so many new products on the market today that can fit any budget and style.
While your parents may have had a wood-burning fireplace, the chances are that it wasn’t outfitted with an insert. Fireplace inserts with glass doors have become the standard, retaining the heat generated by the fire when in use, and limiting draft when not.
Woodstove design has also been updated in recent years, allowing for a wide array of designs ranging from traditional to ultra-contemporary.
Gas and electric fireplaces are now installed for aesthetics and mood as well as heating purposes. Architects have embraced the long, sleek horizontal fireplace surrounds and are incorporating them into their contemporary interior designs.
Equally exciting are two-sided fireplaces that are increasingly being used in home designs. When you consider the visual impact and benefits of a two-sided fireplace, the extra expense associated with it seems relatively low.
Second and third fireplaces are being installed in existing homes — sometimes for the calming effect they evoke. Specifically, and electric fireplaces that can be mounted directly to the wall, which in many cases do not require venting. Because of this, fireplaces are making appearances in kitchens, baths and other private rooms of the house.
Hearth-related innovations are not limited to home interiors. Outdoor fireplace kits using traditional masonry or pre-engineered masonry products range in design from simple to majestic. The gas-fueled fire pit has also been given a new stage with its integration into the design of patio furniture and other outdoor architectural features.
Many new forms of media, such as the simulated gemstones, have been developed for use in gas applications both in and outside the house. Other products include large river-worn stones and sophisticated metal sculptures.
To experience the true impact of these and other fireplace products, visit the showroom of The Woodstove Fireplace & Patio Shop, your local hearth shop.
Fireplace Inserts for More Efficient Home Heating
24 September 2019
The first day of fall has come and gone, and the evenings are getting cold in Massachusetts. The first frost followed by snow are right around the corner.

It seems like each year winter gets a few weeks longer. Fireplace inserts can help you heat your home more efficiently and effectively for less.

Wood burning fireplace inserts transform your inefficient open fireplace into an efficient, heat source and they will heat your home even when there is no power. Fireplace inserts look beautiful and work perfectly because they are especially designed for your existing fireplace.

Heating Your Home with Renewable Fuel Has Many Benefits
17 September 2019
Below are some of the benefits of heating your home with pellet stoves and pellet fireplace inserts.
Pellet stoves and inserts are far more attractive and are taking a much more prominent place in the home than ever before. They no longer heat from the basement; pellets stoves offer main floor heating, easy access, and undeniable ambiance.
Fuel in unlikely places
Another benefit, less specific to households, but just as important is the waste and ‘trash’ that pellet stoves and pellet fireplace inserts are able to keep out of the landfills.
As technology develops and green energy becomes more of a focus, creative minds continue to explore ways to improve on renewable energy. People across Massachusetts are embracing ways to heat their homes for less; with fuel that is renewable.
Pellets are made from wood scrap. The wood scrap is compressed to make pellets which are sold in 40 lb bags which is less expensive than fossil fuels and easier to use, transport, and store than wood.
Investing in local communities
A pellet stove or insert allows home owners to shop for local renewable fuel and burn what is most readily available and low in price. Wood pellets are a renewable resource that can be bought locally which helps keep money, and jobs, in the local economy.
The decision to heat with a pellet stove will save money, keep dollars local, and make a huge difference in the warmth of your home in the winter.
There are countless benefits of heating with renewable fuel that thousands of homeowners have discovered for themselves.

Make Your Fireplace More Efficient
12 September 2019
If you've got an inefficient fireplace, you might as well be burning dollar bills.
Any heat generated is offset by the warmth of your house being sucked up the chimney and outside.
An open-masonry fireplace might be only 15 percent efficient. But if there is no fire and the damper is left open, it can have negative efficiency as warm air escapes.
The quest for efficiency starts with the type of fireplace you have. Or want. Gas and electric fireplaces are the most efficient, wood-burners are the least. Open-faced, traditional wood-burning fireplaces are very inefficient.
Go into a fireplace shop and look at all the difference fireplaces.
When you do renovations, wood-burning fireplaces generally don't click design-wise. A redesigned room doesn't have the bang with an open fireplace that looks and feels outdated because it burns wood. You get a better return for your dollar with gas.
So let’s talk about efficiency.
If you already have a fireplace, there are things you can do to improve efficiency. First, make sure your chimney is clean and safe. After that, it's mostly about the features.
Glass Fireplace Doors
Without doors, your fireplace will suck the heat out of your home and send it up the chimney. There's an endless variety of designs for fireplace doors with tempered or ceramic glass. An advantage of the latter is it lets some heat radiate back into the room. Doorsalso add another level of safety, especially if there are kids around.
Damper
The throat damper is made of cast iron and sits near the bottom of the chimney and regulates air flow. It can warp or rust over time, compromising the seal and becoming less effective. The top mount damper sits atop the chimney and is preferred by some experts. Either way, keep the damper closed when the fireplace is not in use.
Fireplace Grates
Steel grates have a tendency to warp and wear out. A heavy-duty cast iron fireplace grate is recommended. Another possibility is one with a blower on the bottom that sends heat back into the room. This makes them 10 times more efficient.
Fireplace Inserts
Fireplace Inserts are enclosed cast iron boxes that use gas, pellets, or wood, and are retrofitted into existing fireplaces. They are very efficient, and can reduce a home heating bill between 20 and 40 percent.

The Advantages of Wood Burning Fireplace Inserts
4 September 2019
If you are considering a fireplace insert for your home, there are lots of advantages and benefits to consider including beauty, efficiency, cleaner burning, and a warmer home while spending less on heating.
A fireplace insert is a steel firebox that fits into your existing open fireplace. Air from inside your home is drawn into it, warmed from the fire, and then blown back into your home. This radiant heat is one of the advantages of a wood insert. Open fireplaces lose hot air up the chimney, fireplace inserts improve the efficiency of an open fireplace by putting more heat into your home.
Wood Burning Fireplace Inserts are much more energy efficient, which means they improve the efficiency of your whole home. Fires make more heat, so your thermostat stays low. They burn efficiently, so they make less smoke than an open fireplace too.
Fireplace inserts also have an advantage over an open fireplace in regards to air quality as well. Because it is enclosed, less particles are put into the air. They burn hotter than an open fireplace, which means they get more heat out of every piece of firewood. So not only they do they “burn cleaner,” this also means you will save money on heat. But, even though they are enclosed, they are designed with large glass doors for a full view of the fire.
But besides all of these practical advantages, they are more attractive as well. Fireplace inserts often offer design options so that there is a style to match your home décor. Surrounds can be blended with your living space to ad to your home's personality and comfort.

Converting A Wood Burning Fireplace to Gas
22 August 2019
Many people are interested in having their wood fireplaces converted to gas. A wood burning fire is relaxing and comforting, but some homeowners are tired of lugging and stacking wood. They are interested in replacing the open fireplace with a gas fireplace. But, what does that entail?
A gas fireplace is easy to use and maintain. That's why so many people seem to prefer gas fireplace inserts these days.
Chimney inspection
It's important to be certain your chimney is clean and fully functional. A professional chimney sweep will give you an inspection and can tell you whether your chimney will accommodate a gas unit.
You'll also need to hire someone to extend your home's existing gas line to the fireplace. Plumbers and HVAC technicians are often qualified. If your home doesn't have a natural gas connection, and service is available where you live, you can pay for a connection.
Choose a gas insert or gas logs
Next, decide what kind of gas fireplace insert you want. When converting from a wood-burning unit, you have three options:
- a gas fireplace insert
- vented gas logs
- vent-free gas logs
To choose, consider how you expect to use your fireplace.
If you want to add warmth to your home, consider a gas insert or vent-free gas logs. Of these two options, vent-free gas logs produce the most heat, but they may introduce unburned combustion products into your home and aren't recommended for homeowners with allergies or asthma. Also, some municipalities have restricted or outlawed vent-free fireplaces.
Gags logs are your best option if you don't care about adding heat, don't plan to use the fireplace often or are mostly interested in how the fire looks. Vented

Outdoor Kitchens: A Hot Home Trend
1 August 2019
Since the basic backyard barbecue began evolving into the outdoor kitchen, the trend has taken off. Some of today’s outdoor cooking areas are full-on kitchens, with appliances, food prep space — even walls, ceilings and TVs.
It’s not just where you prepare the food. It’s where people gather. Just as the kitchens inside of our homes are kind of the center of energy at a party or gathering, the outdoor kitchen really has become that, as well.
This trend used to be limited to the upper end of the market. But today even the middle portion of the market is embracing it.
Homeowners are doing more outdoor cooking throughout the year. One goal is better health — you’re not frying with oil if you’re outside grilling, or even using an outdoor ovens.
Below are some thoughts on what's trending in outdoor kitchen, and how you can create one even on a relatively modest budget.
Prep space with sink and storage: Many homeowners begin by installing a small island. These are usually built around a grill and offer counter space, plus the option of adding other conveniences. Among the most popular: a small sink connected to the outdoor water system, and a small refrigerator.
Also, a built-in outdoor kitchen adds monetary value to a home.
Cooking beyond the grill: Another trend Gaubeka sees is the addition of a brick or gas-fired pizza oven that can be used for much more.
You can bake outside or you can actually sear a thick piece of meat. While indoor ovens generally reach 550F, outdoor pizza ovens can reach 700F or 800F.
A fire pit can also be a fun place to cook “anything from s’mores to hamburgers.
Walls and ceilings: A permanent roof structure is a much better way to go because it allows you to use that room during more times of the year. It also helps protect your investment.
Grow your groceries: An outdoor kitchen is a great place for planter-grown herbs and veggies. Use pots or troughs for parsley, fennel, basil, thyme, oregano and tomatoes.
Going further: Wall-mounted TVs are also popular for outdoor entertaining areas, though they must be outdoor-rated and protected from the elements.
Everyone loves the idea of being able to hang out outside. We’ve really moved toward a grilling, outdoor entertaining, casual culture.

Grilling with pellets is something you are really going to love. The food is so much better than grilling on charcoal or gas! A Green Mountain pellet grill are the top-of-line…the best-of-the-best pellet grills and smokers on the market. But they are not the highest in price!

Green Mountain Pellet Grills even come with a thermostat so that you can actually set the temperature. This is a huge plus when compared to charcoal grills and gas grills.

Massachusetts Tax-Free Weekend is Set For August 17-18
2 July 2019
Massachusetts’ annual sales tax holiday will be held the weekend of Aug. 17-18, 2019.
Both the House and the Senate agreed on the date in resolutions passed during sparsely attended informal legislative sessions on Thursday.
This is the first year that Massachusetts retailers have been assured that the sales tax holiday weekend will occur, after the so-called Grand Bargain signed by Gov. Charlie Baker in 2018 made the annual tax holiday permanent.
In the past, lawmakers have decided each summer whether to hold a sales tax holiday, based on the condition of state revenues.
Retailers say the sales tax holiday boosts sales during a slow time of summer.
Under the new law, lawmakers have until June 15 to set the dates of the annual holiday, or the Department of Revenue will do it.
The sales tax break will apply to purchases under $2,500. It will exclude purchases of tobacco, marijuana, alcohol, cars, motorboats, telecommunications, gas, steam and electricity.
Shoppers save approximately $20 million a year during the two-day waiver of the state’s 6.25% sales tax.

Outdoor Kitchens and Living Spaces Add Value
26 June 2019
Outdoor kitchens remain popular as homeowners seek to add lasting value and functional living space to their homes. Whether it's a do-it-yourself patio or a professionally installed outdoor kitchen, the beauty, usefulness, value and ease of maintenance in outdoor living space is limitless. Extending living space to the outdoors makes sense. Adding charcoal grills, built-in gas grills and fire pits give you space where you can relax and enjoy.
Adding value
Outdoor kitchens can add value to your home without adding walls or a huge budget. Outdoor kitchens can be added to any size home or yard. Many homeowners in the Northeast, who are interested in embracing more of the outdoors, have been creating outdoor living spaces in the form of an outdoor kitchen or patio with a fire pit. Real estate experts say that for every dollar you invest in landscaping projects, you could see up to a $2 return when you sell your home.
There are so many different types of gas grills to fit any budget and need.

21 June 2019
Adding a barbecue built into a countertop and a food preparation area turns a simple patio into an outdoor kitchen.
People enjoy good old-fashioned grilling. In the summer, people love to cook and eat outside. Food cooked outside just tastes better. It might have something to do with the mouth-watering scent filling the air. Whatever the reason, it seems as the weather heats up, so do our outdoor gas grills and charcoal grills.
More people are remodeling their patios into an outdoor entertaining space. This means there is a space for gathering, a space for dining and a place for cooking.

The backyard culinary experience has moved far beyond a simple barbecue on the patio. Now, manufacturers of grills are producing products to create complete outdoor kitchens.
Grills don't just grill anymore. Some come equipped with rotisseries and can double as griller-smokers, others have side burners. Also, many grill manufacturers are producing large grilling islands.

Which Ceramic Grill is Best - Primo vs. The Competition?
30 May 2019
Primo’s Founder, George Samaras, takes you on a detailed journey within each of the departments in the US factory. And, with an ending that will SHOCK you, wait until you see what happens when he puts the competitors' grills up against a Primo!
He shares the Primo story and his passion about these amazing “American Made” Ceramic Grills while chronicling each step of his cutting edge manufacturing process. See how Primo is the only manufacturer of ceramic grills in the world to use the precision and efficiency of robotics. Then watch as the video shows the shaping, glazing, firing, drying and packaging of the products. In its conclusion, because Primo uses a higher quality blend of ceramics and fires its products at much higher temperatures (because of its patented oval shape), the product ultimately outperforms the competition, in terms of durability & longevity! In summary, Primo MELTS the Competition...Literally!

What Makes Pellet Grills Better? - Concord, Carlisle, MA
29 May 2019
If you have a pellet grill or are thinking about getting one, I’m sure you’ve wondered at some point: “What makes pellet grills better than charcoal or propane?”. Great question! The answer is simple. Pellets improve the flavor of your smoked meats and they’re better for the environment.
Cooking with pellets means that you can expect consistent results, cook after a cook.
Advantages of Wood Pellets at a Glance
- Burns Hotter – Can you say eco-efficiency? With a higher wood density and lower moisture content, pellets deliver more BTU output per pound and ultimately more heat.
- Burns Cleaner – Dirt be gone! Since wood pellets are drier and denser, they burn very clean — creating far fewer particle emissions and ash.
- Eliminates Build Up – Safe is simple. Wood pellets reduce the risk of fires with little or no creosote buildup, ensuring safe ventilation and easier maintenance.
- Better For The Environment – Made from all-natural biomass, wood pellets are a carbon-neutral substitute that helps keep our climate in check.
With a solid brand, you should be able to complete 10-20 cooks (depending on what you’re cooking and for how long) before you need to empty your firepot.
The bottom line is that you can use whatever cooking pellets you want in your pellet Grill. Every pellet brand varies slightly in flavor and pairings. Whether you’re a pellet grilling beginner or a seasoned pellethead, flavor charts are always a helpful tool to reference when planning your next smoked meat-sterpiece.
Pellet grilling is something every BBQ enthusiast should try! From the balanced sweet, smoky flavor of their Gourmet Blend, to the mild fruity flavor served up by Cherry, we welcome you to mix and match to create the culinary experience you envision.

Wood Pellet Grills for Delicious Grilled Food
15 May 2019
Whether you are new to grilling or have been cooking in the backyard forever, everyone has a preference when it comes to grilling food. From gas grills to charcoal grills to wood pellet grills, grilling should be taken seriously. Many grillers will argue passionately about the pros and cons of each method.
Many will agree that wood-pellet grills are the clear winner in flavor, ease of use and versatility. A pellet grill is powered by food grade wood pellets. Unlike charcoal grills, which take up to 30 minutes or more to heat up, wood pellet grills can give off an even heat quite quickly. And, unlike propane grills which heat up quickly but lack flavor, foods cooked on pellet grills are rich in smokiness and succulence.
Green Mountain Pellet Grills even come with a thermostat so that you can actually set the temperature. This is a huge plus when compared to charcoal grills and gas grills.
But with a pellet grill you can also "smoke" your food at a very low temperature. This gives you a larger range of options when it comes to the types of food and meals you can prepare with a pellet grill. Pellet grills can use pellets made from various types of wood which means you have options that give off a unique smoke and flavor.
Pellet grills are efficient, easy to use, more flavorful, and healthier to cook with. For more information on pellet grills, contact The Woodstove Fireplace & Patio Shop, your local specialty grill retailer.

A New Charcoal or Gas Grill to Celebrate National BBQ Month
25 April 2019
May is National BBQ Month. The sun is out and you can feel spring in the air. It’s time to start grilling. There is real joy in shopping for the right grill, then heading home to fire it up.
Charcoal grills are actually the most used type of grill and they are available in many styles. Because charcoal grill are so popular, they have changed and evolved. Primo charcoal grills are for those who are serious about taste. These grills use a combination of a ceramic shell, natural lump charcoal and air flow to create a superior charcoal grilled taste. You can also sear food at high temperatures and it will still stay moist. These kamado style grills can be used as an oven, a grill or a smoker. And a wide range of accessories are available. Charcoal grilling gives the ability to enhance the flavor of the food and some people believe it is the only way to grill. There is another reason that Primo grills are better than the traditional charcoal grill; they are ready to use in 15 minutes.
Propane or gas grills are very popular and very versatile. They run on propane, and heat up and are ready to use in minutes. They are a quick and easy way to cook outdoors and they also provide good flavor. Depending on your lifestyle, gas grills may be the best choice for you and your family. If you want to sear meat or cook on a slow rotisserie, gas offers many choices. You can even cook your entire meal on gas grills that offer a side burner. There is a gas grill for all occasions, from 3-burner grills to 6-burner grills, and everything from built-in models to portable models.
Visit The Woodstove Fireplace & Patio Shop, your local specialty grill retailer to discuss how the array of choices available would best meet your needs.
Top Outdoor Kitchen Trends
19 April 2019
Outdoor kitchens topped the project trends list in the latest American Institute of Architects’ survey. No surprise, people love living outside. As we move into the warmer months, let's look at what’s popular for outdoor kitchens and their related living areas.
Luxury moves outdoors
Homeowners are seeking the sanctuary of outdoor living spaces – both for entertaining and unwinding. These spaces are likely to have architectural structures like pergolas, walls, custom fireplaces, hedges and varying elevations to create privacy and distinct rooms with a natural indoor-outdoor flow. These outdoor rooms may also be equipped with water, light and fire design features.
Outdoor kitchens are getting more elaborate, both for entertaining and relaxing.
Premium cooking
In the past, many homeowners focused solely on their grill, and perhaps some outdoor seating. Today, many homeowners are accompanying the grill with a fully functioning built-in kitchen complete with sink and faucet, refrigeration, dishwasher, ice machine, beverage unit, pizza oven, weather resistant cabinets and more. Smart appliances are becoming very popular and it comes as no surprise that smart technology is also trending in the outdoor kitchen. Many grills and smokers are now wi-fi enabled, some even have voice recognition.
Even with all of the extras, the grill is still king of the outdoor kitchen. No longer is stainless steel the only option. Grills are available in bright red, sunny yellow, royal blue, hunter green, and more! The ability to customize your outdoor space allows the homeowner to complement the surrounding landscape and views or extend the home’s décor into the exterior.
Exactly as the interior kitchen and bathroom design trends have shifted towards more sleek and modular aesthetics, so too have outdoor designs. To mirror the look inside the home, homeowners are choosing longer, linear plank pavers outdoors, and playing more with texture and color than in the past. This trend extends beyond modern homes, with this look translating to every home style.
Technology enhancements
An outdoor living area’s natural elements might hide speakers and wiring, as well as irrigation and security tied to smart home controls. Homeowners are taking on far more projects and spending far more money outdoors than in past years. Outdoor televisions are a major category. So are outdoor speakers.
While outdoor kitchens and living areas are trending strongly and richly, with more enhancements than ever before, there are still many homeowners who are likely to drag a comfy chair and portable grill out on the porch or deck. It’s all about enjoying life outdoors, financing nice, but not necessarily needed, for life’s simplest pleasures.

Buying a Smoker
13 April 2019
Unlike grills, where the heat is more direct, smokers cook the meat (or veggies) with smoke heat and add an unforgettable smoked flavor. Smokers allow for longer cook times when you want to achieve that mouth-watering “fall off the bone” consistency.
Cylinder Smoker or Offset Smoker
Offset smokers are often recognizable by the large cylinder shaped chamber where your food is smoked alongside an attached firebox. The firebox is filled with wood or charcoal and sends smoke to the main chamber. These smokers typically have vents on both the firebox and main chamber and require a bit more attention to temperature control. Contrasting the vertical smoker, the smoke and heat flows from the firebox to a pipe on the opposite side as it cooks and flavors your food in the main chamber. These smokers are just as popular as vertical smokers and can also be used to grill.
Perfect for your backyard, you are just as likely to see offset smokers when heading to the cook-off.
Kamado
The Kamado design is popular due to its ability to be used as a grill or a smoker. The Kamado style uses ceramics, lava rock, cement, and other refractory material to absorb and radiate heat with venting that allows for high-searing to slow-smoking temperatures. When using a Kamado as a smoker, you want to aim for a lower temperature when heating as the ceramic walls tend to retain heat and will take longer to cool down if you overshoot. Charcoal is placed at the bottom of the bowl and functions similarly to the vertical bullet smoker with the upward flow of heat and smoke with a domed cap. Sometimes smaller than traditional smokers, Kamados have the capacity for two-zone cooking, with both direct and convection heat, making the design perfect for smoking or grilling.
Home Use
Aside from type of method, take into consideration home use when choosing the perfect smoker. Of course, you don’t need to be confined to one smoker, but your outdoor space provides a place for entertainment and a larger smoker is suitable for larger outdoor spaces. Most smokers will fit any outdoor space; however, you also want to look at larger sizes if you plan on feeding multiple mouths in a short amount of time. As with grills, there are a variety of features, and details that reflect your style, complement your home, and set the vibe.

Gas Logs and Custom Fireplace Doors: Beautiful and Functional
5 December 2018
Are you redesigning, redecorating or remodeling a favorite room in your house? If so, now is the time to consider gas log sets and custom glass fireplace doors. Instead of an open fireplace consider a fire that will add beauty and efficient warmth to your home.
You could add a fireplace insert, but then you'd have to use their design, not your own. If you are designing or remodeling a living space, custom glass fireplace doors can offer you the style you want to match your home.
Gas logs and glass fireplace doors make your fireplace more efficient while making it easier to use. They cost much less than a fireplace insert, too. Open fireplaces are very inefficient. If you want to use the fireplace, even sparingly, it would make more sense to add gas logs and glass fireplace doors. Open fireplaces draw the heat out of your house and up the chimney. Gas fireplaces light with the touch of a button and the glass doors make the heat more efficient. Gas log sets and glass fireplace doors allow you to be able to use the fireplace whenever you desire, even after a long day at work; with no hauling of wood or mess to clean up.
In fact, choose the style of log set too, your re-designed fireplace can have the exact style, look and feel you want. And, gas log sets look that incredibly similar to natural wood.
Gas logs and glass fireplace doors are faster to install than fireplace inserts, which means you can relax in front of the fire soon. For more information on gas logs and fireplace doors, contact The Woodstove Fireplace & Patio Shop.
Converting an Open Fireplace to a Gas Insert for Easy Heating
28 November 2018
Unlike open wood burning fireplace or old decorative gas fireplaces, today's gas fireplace inserts are heat-producing dynamos that use propane or natural gas to fuel a steady flame on realistic looking logs, decorative modern glass chips, or stones behind a sealed glass face.
Gas inserts for fireplaces can be used in masonry or prefab fireplaces; they can be vented through the existing chimney or if it a free standing unit, through a wall.
Gas inserts are the easiest inserts to use and they need very little maintenance. Flip a switch, start the fire. Its best application is for zone heating-heating up the room you're in or heating a room that isn't warmed sufficiently by your heating system.
Green Factor
Gas inserts can have up to 85% efficiency rating; very little pollution, smoke, ash, or creosote. Zoned heating allows you to reduce overall fuel consumption.
Ventless versions burn very clean, they have to because there do not use chimneys.
Because fuel prices change constantly, any saving measurements are a moving target. Roughly speaking, yearly savings could range from $64-$255 (based on an average heating bill of $638) if you use an insert for zoned heating and turn down your thermostat.

Gas Logs for an Easier Way to Warm Your Home
7 November 2018
Whether entertaining friends or relaxing after work, there's nothing like a warm glowing fire to add ambience and warmth to the home. Hauling and storing firewood and cleaning up messy ashes, however, can make building a wood-burning fire a hassle. This season easily transform a wood-burning fireplace and experience the beauty and benefits of gas logs while saving money, time and the environment.
Beautiful
Today's gas logs produce a stunning, realistic flame that can rival any wood-burning log. A wide range of wood types is available, from birch to oak, as well as colored glass and gems and accessories to add personal style to any hearth.
Economical
Gas log sets are generally inexpensive to buy and install and cost about a quarter per hour of what it costs to burn wood. Some gas logs are more than 99 percent efficient.
Convenient
Gas logs allow for instant enjoyment. With a touch of a button, the fireplace turns on and off. There's no need to purchase, store and season wood and clean up and dispose of messy ashes.
Safe
Gas logs prevent flying sparks, common with wood, that might burn a rug or cause other damage. They don't create indoor particulate matter that is harmful to asthmatics and those with respiratory issues.
Environmentally Friendly
Burning gas logs helps preserve natural resources for generations to come by eliminating harmful particulate matter in the air.
Which Gas Logs
Real Fyre Gas Logs offers more than 40 authentic styles, each handcrafted and hand-painted to deliver a realistic look with dancing flames and a glowing bed of lively embers.
Companion accessories such as remote controls, pinecones, acorns, additional branches and many other items further enhance the beauty and authenticity of your hearth.

Wood Burning Fireplace Inserts for Reliable and Beautiful Heat
31 October 2018
Winter often brings with it power outages. It can get pretty cold at home while you wait for the power to get turned back on. But, homeowners who heat with wood have no worries about warmth. Wood burning fireplace inserts allow you to stay warm even without power. Fall may have just begun, but this is the time to invest in a wood burning fireplace insert.
When you see snow and wind outside, it makes the idea of a beautiful fire seem all that much more inviting. It is comforting to know that no matter the weather, you and your family will be warm. When winter brings with it power outages, a wood burning insert allows you to stay warm.
Today’s inserts for fireplace are EPA certified, which means they use less wood, they burn cleaner, and they create more heat. This could be the best time to buy a fireplace insert. As home heating expenses rise, home owners are re-discovering the beauty of wood as a cheaper option and beautiful options. And, wood burning inserts are design features for homes.
Wood inserts today have come a long way. The fire box is designed to burn wood efficiently. This gives off more heat and the heat is cleaner and hotter an open fire. So when you heat your home with a wood burning fireplace insert, there are many benefits:
- Lower heating bills
- Guaranteed heat when the power goes out
- Beauty and ambiance.
- Once installed, a wood stove can give you a lifetime of trouble-free heat.
There's nothing like wood heat. For more information on wood burning fireplace inserts, contact The Woodstove Fireplace & Patio Shop.
Fireplace Inserts: Heating with Natural Gas is Attractive and Easy
24 October 2018
It is not too late to start heating your home more efficiently and easily. If you heat with oil, but have natural gas in the house, you have numerous options. In fact, by adding a gas fireplace insert to help heat your home, you can reduce the price of your oil bill by quite a bit.
In fact, a new gas fireplace insert is very often more efficient than your furnace. So heating your home with gas is more cost effective. If your home has a natural gas line you are already halfway there.
At The Woodstove Fireplace & Patio Shop we have many customers that come see us about better and more attractive ways to heat their homes. Wood works for many homeowners. But often, once we start talking about their home and their lifestyle and we find out they have a natural gas line already running to their home and they usually choose a gas fireplace insert.
Natural Gas is the easiest way to add fire to your home, and it’s no work. At the same time, you can reduce your home heating bills during the frigid and snowy winter. Gas inserts are controlled by a switch or remote. If you want a fire burning in your hearth push the button. They are also controlled with a thermostat, for more constant, even heating. No wood to stack, no pellets to haul in.

Wood Stoves and Inserts for a Warmer Winter
17 October 2018
The temperature is dropping. The easiest way to improve your home heating this winter is with a new wood stove. Wood stoves are easy to install because they can be vented through any outside wall, they don’t need an existing chimney or a high-tech expensive chimney.
Wood burning stoves are cleaner burning, more efficient, and powerful enough to heat an average-sized home. For a renewable source of energy and relief from fluctuating fuel costs, Wood stoves are the better way to stay warmer this winter.
When you are choosing a wood-burning stove, it's important to select one that is the right size for the space you are heating. When an appliance is too big, homeowners burn fires at a lower temperature in order to keep from overheating the space. This wasted fuel and causes air pollution. If the wood stove is too small, homeowners will use too much fuel and won’t be able to heat the space efficiently or adequately.
A good rule-of-thumb is that a stove rated at 60,000 Btu’s can heat a 2,000-square-foot home. Your local fireplace retailer can help you determine the right size wood stove for your space and your lifestyle.
Traditional open fireplaces are nice for ambiance but should not be used to heat your home; they are inefficient and can actually draw the heat out of your home and up your chimney. Wood stoves and inserts increase the efficiency of your fireplace by allowing you to burn a hotter fire and that heat is forced out into the room. Wood inserts function like wood stoves and use the existing chimney. A properly fitted fireplace insert can function nearly as efficiently as a wood stove.
If you would like to be warmer this winter, contact The Woodstove Fireplace & Patio Shop and we can help you choose the right Wood stove or wood stove or insert for your home.

Fireplace Inserts Save on Home Energy Bills
3 October 2018
The cold weather is on the way. This kind of weather makes anyone want to light a fire and get cozy and warm. But, if your only option is lighting a fire in an old, open fireplace, you’re not getting the warmth you could, and in fact, your home could be leaking heat.
There is no denying that an open, masonry fireplace is attractive and rustic. But in Massachusetts, the fireplace needs more value than just being attractive. An open fireplace is inefficient as a heat source. Fortunately, with the addition of a wood-burning fireplace insert or an added gas line and a gas fireplace insert, your existing open fireplace can heat a room (or a couple rooms) better you’re your furnace. And, because fireplace inserts are sealed they also prevent drafts from the chimney from entering into the home.
An open fireplace is like leaving your door open. Drafts can come in, and heat can go out. They are open all the way to the roof. This is why homeowners today are moving toward wood-burning and gas inserts.
You may be wondering about gas. Is it really more efficient? Most gas inserts are more efficient than a home heating system. Most home heat is 70 to 80 percent efficient, gas inserts are almost 86%.
Your local fireplace retailer can help you determine whether a gas or wood burning fireplace insert is best for your home and your lifestyle. There are advantages and disadvantages of both:
Gas fireplace inserts - No real disadvantage unless it’s difficult to get a gas line. Gas inserts are very efficient, produce a lot of heat, and can be used during a power outage.
Wood burning fireplace inserts – Burning wood does produce ash and soot, so the fireplace and chimney should be cleaned at least once a year. However, you will save money on your energy bills. Burning wood is the number 1 way of saving fuel in your home.
Fireplace inserts give you a lot of heat and are safer than open fireplaces because everything is sealed behind glass; and no smells are getting into the home.

Gas Fireplace Inserts Lower Home Heating Bill
26 September 2018
If you heat your home with oil or propane, it cold be an expensive winter for you. With temperatures that get well below average, and the late-season snow, you may be getting anxious thinking about your upcoming heating bills. If you already have gas running to your home, you can heat your home more efficiently without replacing your oil furnace and tank.
Adding a gas fireplace insert to your home supplements your home heating system. A new gas fireplace insert cost far less than a new furnace, and can dramatically decrease your heating bills.
Everyone loves to enjoy sitting in front of a roaring fire and nothing compares to the efficiency of a gas fireplace. They also burn cleaner than wood and are very easy to use. You may have an open wood burning fireplace, that you want to convert to gas. A plumber will run a gas line to your open hearth, and a gas fireplace insert is then easily installed. An insert slides directly into your existing fireplace and is connected to the gas line.
Energy savings is the biggest reason that more and more homeowners are considering gas fireplace inserts. After the insert is installed, the change to the look and feel of your home is gorgeous. Best of all, gas inserts light with the push of a button. Come home, push a button, and turn on your fire while you relax and stay warm.

Converting a Wood Fireplace to a Gas Insert
19 September 2018
Winter can be long and cold. But, you can still do something about your home heating efficiency. Do you heat with oil or propane? If so, you should be thinking about a better way to heat. If you have natural gas in your house already, a great option is to convert your wood burning fireplace to gas. By adding a gas fireplace insert to your home, you will make your home more beautiful and more efficient. You will reduce the price of your oil bill and you will have an easy-to-use, beautiful fire.
A new gas fireplace insert is almost always more efficient to run than your existing furnace, and always more efficient than an open wood hearth. This makes heating your home with gas more cost effective. If your home already has natural gas, you are already halfway there.
For today’s busy lifestyles, many homeowners who are considering adding a wood burning fireplace insert realize that gas will fit their lifestyles better. No stacking, cutting or hauling wood; no mess and no dust. With a gas insert you push a button and the fire is lit. They can also be controlled with a thermostat, for more consistent heat.
Another benefit to a natural gas fireplace insert is that you can turn it on at any time of year without hassle. On those chilly May, June and September evenings, you don’t have to go outside and get wood to start a fire, and you don’t have to turn the heat back on. Just push the button and enjoy your natural looking gas fire.
No gas in your home, but there is gas on your street? No problem. Call your gas company and have them run a line for next year and avoid the rush!

Gas Fireplace Inserts are Attractive and Easy
12 September 2018
A gas insert is an easy, convenient way to heat your home. They also make a traditional open fireplace more attractive. They consist of a firebox that is surrounded by decorative trim and an insulated glass window for viewing. Because the box is sealed, the heat is prevented from going up the chimney. In fact, the heat is forced back into your home, and most gas inserts have a blower to help move the heated air. Fireplace inserts are placed directly into your existing open fireplace.
Energy efficiency and ease of use are the two biggest benefits of adding a gas insert to your home. Gas Fireplace Inserts average 75% - 80% efficiency and use less gas than gas fireplace logs. They can also be thermostat controlled for even heating.
Heat & Glo gas inserts fit directly into an existing wood burning fireplace turning it into beautiful and efficient heat source, without a major renovation. Put your old, open fireplace to good use with the best-in-class styling and performance of a Heat & Glo gas insert.

Massachusetts House Approves August Sales Tax Holiday
18 July 2018
BOSTON (AP) — Massachusetts shoppers are a step closer to enjoying their first sales tax holiday in three years.
The House on Tuesday approved an amendment to an economic development bill that would suspend the state’s 6.25 percent sales tax on the weekend of Aug. 11-12. It also needs approval from the Senate.
Legislation signed earlier this month by Republican Gov. Charlie Baker would require an annual sales tax holiday beginning in 2019, but left open the question of whether one would be held this summer.
The tax-free weekend is popular with shoppers and embraced by many retailers who say it helps fill stores during an otherwise slow summer period.
Critics contend it merely shifts sales from other times during the year while costing the state as much as $20 million in tax revenue.
The Woodstove Fireplace & Patio Shop is taking orders now! This is a good time to buy if you can combine your purchase with the Woodstove Change Out program. Moreover, we have bargain pit and burn pit items on sale which are included in the tax free shopping holiday. Plus, we currently offer up to 12 months interest free financing. So what are you waiting for? Contact Woodstove Fireplace & Patio Shop for more information.

Gas Grills Are Just So Easy!
11 July 2018
Grilling on a holiday like the Fourth of July, when you’ve got the day off, is easy. You can take your time; pull out your artisanal hardwood charcoal; light it in your chimney starter; build a perfect two-level fire; and lovingly tend your rib-eye, or your chicken breasts, or your pork ribs.
Fourth of July is hobby grilling.
But what about the 22nd of July, or the 12th of August — when temps are in the 80s or 90s and all you want is to be in your backyard with a beer and a hunk of meat to cook? Instead, it’s 6 p.m., you’re at the office, the kids need to eat, and you still have to go to the store.
This is why gas grills are so easy.
Charcoal purists will tell you their preferred fuel leads to better flavor.
Cooking on charcoal has one indisputable advantage over gas: It gets much hotter. Glowing coals are at a temperature of about 2,000 degrees of radiant heat; while gas gets hotter, there’s very little radiant heat from the flames.
And radiant heat is what’s really cooking your food on a grill. That’s why gas grills use some sort of surface to create radiation, whether it’s lava rocks or ceramic plates. These surfaces are heated by the gas flame, creating the radiant heat generated naturally by charcoal.
Charcoal purists will try and tell you that their preferred fuel leads to better flavor.
Your food doesn’t know what’s creating the heat below it, and once charcoal is hot, there aren’t any aromatic compounds left in the coals. Some say: Carbon is carbon; as it burns, it imparts no flavor of its own to the food being grilled.
The characteristic flavor of grilled food comes from the drippings, not the fuel. When those drippings hit the heat source, the oils, sugars, and proteins burst into smoke and flame. That “flavor” rises in the smoke and warm air to coat the food you’re grilling.
Still not convinced? Know what’s worse than grilling on charcoal? Not having time to grill at all.
You can walk in with a bag of groceries at 6:30, and have grilled chicken on the table at 7, a happy family praising a delicious dinner. The most precious commodity in the world, that’s constantly dwindling, is time.
A gas grill claws back time for you every time you use it. Grill three times a week over the course of a summer, and you’ll have saved yourself a full day. A day! Think of what you can do with an extra day, provided to you by your gas grill.

Choosing the Right Backyard Gas Grill
14 June 2018
Memorial Day was the unofficial start of summer and the true beginning of grill season. If you are in the market for a new gas grill, there are a few questions you should ask yourself before you buy.
How often do you grill? How many people will you grill for most often? How long do I want the grill to last? Once you answer these questions, you will know in what price range you need to shop.
Here are a few of the benefits of gas grills. You may have one in your backyard, but now is the time to upgrade to a gas grill that can transform backyard grilling into an experience. Gas grills are generally known as a higher end grill than a charcoal. They last longer, have loads of amenities and come in various sizes, from two to four burners.
The main advantage of a gas grill is the convenience. Gas grills have gained popularity because they're ready to cook on in less than 10 minutes. The temperature of gas grills is also very easy to maintain. And the more burners a grill has, the more cooking flexibility you'll enjoy.

Try Out Pellet Grills This Season
22 May 2018
Grilling season is here. Everyone loves the smell of grilling in the warm weather; not to mention eating the delicious flavor of grilled food.
Cooking over a fire is one of the oldest, easiest, and fun ways to cook food. With all the new grills today, grilling is less messy, healthier, more flavorful, easier and more fun. All summer long, grilling is a favorite way to entertain with a casual supper, picnic or potluck.
Almost any food can be grilled: meats, poultry, fish and some vegetables and fruits adapt well to the grill. Don’t stop at hamburgers and steaks. Creative recipes will add variety and interest to your summer menus. Creative grills will add a new dimension too. Have you heard of pellet grills? Pellet grills are the easier way to grill over hardwood pellets. Pellets for grilling are made specifically for grilling to give your food a whole new level of flavor.
Green Mountain Pellet grills are also easy to use, just like gas grills. Fill the hopper, push the button and your grill is lit and ready to go. Not only is it virtually impossible to burn or overcook food on a pellet grill, you can also use your pellet grill as a smoker and oven.
It’s important to have a grill that fits your needs. Charcoal, pellet and gas are the options that all fit different needs. Gas is popular because it’s the most convenient to use. It lights fast, heats quickly and is easy to operate. Grills come in all sizes, shapes, styles, finishes and price.

Pruitt declares that burning wood is carbon neutral
14 May 2018
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) declared Monday that burning trees is carbon neutral.
The announcement, made by EPA Administrator Scott Pruitt during a meeting with Georgia forestry leaders, signals an administrative policy shift that will treat all burning of biomass as carbon-neutral "when used for energy production at stationary sources," according to an EPA statement.
The administration likened the new policy decision to a clarification, saying it will help streamline regulations for forest and paper industries.
"Today’s announcement grants America’s foresters much-needed certainty and clarity with respect to the carbon neutrality of forest biomass,” Pruitt said in a statement. “Managed forests improve air and water quality, while creating valuable jobs and thousands of products that improve our daily lives. This is environmental stewardship in action.”
Members of Congress have made similar legislative pushes to recognize wood burning as carbon neutral. In 2016, a group of Senators tried to pass the policy change through larger bipartisan energy bill. More recently, a provision included in the fiscal 2018 federal spending bill unveiled in March urged the heads of the EPA and Energy Department to “reflect the carbon-neutrality of forest bioenergy and recognize biomass as a renewable energy source.”
Donna Harman, president of the American Forest and Paper Association, said the policy decision reflects "long-standing scientific principles and Congressional direction."
“We are one of the largest manufacturing sectors in the nation, eager to strengthen the economy and boost U.S. job creation with the support of public policy that levels the playing field with competitors around the globe," Harman said in a statement. "This new EPA policy is an important milestone in implementing the Congressional directive to produce clear and simple policies and acknowledges the scientific record on the carbon neutrality of forest-based, renewable biomass."
The debate over the emissions for burning wood took center stage during the Obama administration's Clean Power Plan discussions, as they considered how to treat wood-burning power plants.
Scientists have long thought that burning biomass, including wood, does emit carbon dioxide pollution and that labeling it carbon neutral is not only inaccurate but could have long-standing negative effects on regulations meant to thwart climate change. But foreign countries have more recently looked toward wood-burning as alternative energy sources that could help to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
“Scott Pruitt’s scorched-earth approach at the EPA continues unabated ... Pruitt is once again rewarding his industry pals," said Sami Yassa, senior scientist for the Natural Resources Defense Council. “This will lead to more destruction of our treasured forests and more dangerous carbon pollution.”

Time for a New Gas or Charcoal Grill for Spring
2 May 2018
Spring is here, the weather has finally turned. The sun is out and you can feel it in the air. It’s time to start grilling. There is a certain joy in picking out the right grill, and a definite joy when you get to go home and fire it up.
Charcoal grills are actually the most used type of grill and they come in many styles. Over the years, due to their popularity the charcoal grill has changed and evolved. The Big Green Egg charcoal grills are grills for those who are serious about taste. These grills use a combination of a ceramic shell, natural lump charcoal and air flow to create a superior charcoal taste. You can also sear food at high temperatures and it will still retain its moistness. These grills can be used as an oven, a grill or a smoker. And a wide range of accessories are available. Charcoal grilling has the ability to enhance the food flavor and some people believe it is the only way to grill. There is another reason that the Egg Grills are better than the traditional charcoal grill; they are ready to use in 15 minutes.
Propane grills are very popular, and are also very versatile. Of course, they run on propane, and heat up and are ready to use in minutes. They offer a quick and easy way to cook outdoors and also give a good flavor. Depending on your lifestyle, this may be the only way to go for you and your family. If you want to sear meat or cook on a slow rotisserie, there is a perfect gas grill for you. You can even cook your entire meal on many gas grills with the addition of the side burner. There is a gas grill for all occasions, from 3 burner grills to 6 burner grills, and everything from built in models to portable models.

Gas Grill or Charcoal Grill?
18 April 2018
Those who are in the market for a new grill already know if they want a gas grill or a charcoal grill before they go shopping. But you need to consider other things as well like: size, price range, functionality and brand.
If you are in the market for a gas grill, there is quite a price range of grills that you can choose from. However, remember that you get what you pay for. So consider the materials with which it is made and the length of the warranty and what that warranty includes. Also think about what else you want your gas grill to do, maybe you want a side burner or rotisserie.
If you are in the market for a charcoal grill, don’t only look at kettle charcoal grills, if you are more adventurous, take a look at the kamado style charcoal grills, the Big Green Egg.
Once you try a Big Green Egg, you won’t grill on anything else again. The egg-shaped charcoal grills come in five sizes and can cook at a wide range of temperatures and styles. The Big Green Egg charcoal grill is perfect for slow-cooking, baking, smoking or roasting.
This grill uses natural lump coal, or hardwood charcoal. With hardwood you’re getting a wood flavor to your meal. Grilling over hardwood charcoal makes food taste better. Hardwood charcoal can heat the grill to 900 degrees and it can burn up to 12 hours.
For more information on The Big Green Egg, contact the Woodstove Fireplace & Patio Shop.

Massachusetts Kicks Off Campaign to Replace Older Wood Stoves
30 March 2018
Wood burning stoves are a way for home and business owners to assert their energy independence by using wood pellets or logs as an alternative heating fuel.
But many of those stoves were early models designed in the 1970s and ‘80s and lack the energy efficiency and cleaner burning capabilities of later models.
The administration of Gov. Charlie Baker and Lt. Gov. Karyn Polito recently announced $450,000 in funding for the 2018 Woodstove Change-out Program that provides rebates to homeowners who replace older stoves with cleaner, EPA-certified models.
“The Woodstove Change-Out Program gives all Massachusetts homeowners access to affordable, highly- efficient, and clean heating systems,” Energy and Environmental Affairs Secretary Matthew Beaton said.
Launched in 2012, the Commonwealth Woodstove Change-Out Program is administered by the Massachusetts Clean Energy Center.
The program has so far helped replace 2,000 less-efficient stoves.
Through these rebates, Massachusetts residents will have access to clean heating systems that are EPA-certified, use less fuel, and provide cleaner air for our communities. The Woodstove Change-Out Program has helped thousands of residents across the Commonwealth adopt clean, efficient heating technologies and we’re pleased to offer this program for another year.
Standard rebates under the program range from $1,000 to $1,750, depending on the emission levels and type of stove purchased. Residents who meet certain income guidelines can qualify for rebates up to an additional $1,500.
For more information on wood stoves for your home, or for information on our wood stove floor model sale, contact Woodstove Fireplace and Patio Shop.
Additional information about the program can be found at masscec.com.

*** The Massachusetts Clean Energy Center (MassCEC) is extending the 2018 Woodstove Change-Out Program application deadline to September 25, 2018. Correspondingly, the deadline for homeowners to submit their income verification through the InClime portal has been extended to August 25, 2018.

If you like to entertain in the summer, spring and fall, remodel your patio barbecue area into an outdoor kitchen. The outdoor kitchen is one of the hottest trends in outdoor lifestyle nationwide.

Key trends include accessorizing with beverage center style refrigerators, infrared grills and pizza ovens, warming drawers, wine coolers, custom cabinetry, multiple prep and double basin sinks, barbecues with additional accessories, and even kegerators for serving beer. It’s now possible to create an outdoor kitchen that can serve all the needs of professional chefs, while remaining close to the pool area or fire pit for entertaining.
The fully appointed outdoor kitchen adds design appeal, entertainment sizzle, and instant resale value to your home. Outdoor kitchens are the height of convenience, as well.

GAS AND WOOD BURNING FIREPLACE INSERTS FOR BETTER HOME HEATING
8 January 2018
We have the perfect way to change the look and feel of your home in the New Year without a massive renovation project. Gas or wood burning fireplace inserts make a dramatic statement. With so many choices and manufacturers, there are even more styles than ever before. This is just one of the reasons they are so popular. Today, there are fireplace inserts to fit any style home and decor.
In addition to making a design statement and focal point in any room, inserts for fireplaces decrease your heating bills and make your fireplace more efficient. This winter is cold and it will prove to be long. Fireplace inserts help supplement your home heating, warming rooms that may not receive the heat you need from the in-house heating system. They also make your living space more attractive and increase the overall value of your home.
Open fireplaces draw heat up and out the chimney. Fireplace inserts keep the heat from the fire in your home. With a wood burning insert, the firebox allows the fire to burn hotter than a traditional open fire and the blower forces that heat out into your living space.
If you have been considering changing your heating solutions and upgrading your open fireplace, contact The Woodstove and Fireplace Shop in Littleton, MA for more information on buying and installing a beautiful insert in 2018.
BETTER HOME HEATING WITH FIREPLACE INSERTS DURING THIS VERY COLD WINTER
5 January 2018
Are you ready for winter? Well, it has certainly arrived. Record cold weather and “bomb-cyclones” make it hard to keep your home warm.
Wood and gas inserts are a better way to heat your home. And, more and more homeowners are figuring this out. Central heating systems just don’t heat evenly and the answer is not to turn up the heat.
Wood fireplace inserts and gas fireplace inserts are the perfect way to better heat your favorite, most lived-in rooms in your home. But they also add a level of coziness and ambience that does not exist with that unused, open fireplace.
Where do you gather in your home with family and friends when you entertain? Family room, great room, living room, kitchen? In any of these rooms you can add a gas or wood fireplace insert and change the whole dynamic of the room. By adding a burning fire and the warm and cozy element of a beautiful fireplace insert you are not only creating space that is enjoyable to be in, you are also more efficiently heating your home.
Right now is the right time to take a look at the inserts for fireplaces at The Woodstove and Fireplace Shop in Littleton, MA. Contact us for more information. We can help you choose the best insert and type of fuel for your lifestyle and your home.

WOODSTOVE FIREPLACE & PATIO COOK OFF WEEK 9
29 June 2017
This past weekend marked the start of our competition on the famous Big Green Egg with non other than the acclaimed Patfo Lyons at the helm. Patfro went all in with his Honey Dijon Salmon cooked on Cedar Planks sided with Cedar Smoked Pears with Blue Cheese and Honey Butter. Some of us here prefer to play it safe with our entries but not Patfro, risking his self-appointed grilling reputation on this risky dish. Luckily for us his gamble payed off. The salmon and the pears took on a delicate smokey flavor and aroma that can only be obtained with the Big Green Egg. The salmon was cooked perfectly and the combination of the cedar smoke and honey-dijon was fantastic. The pears were a little under-cooked but this was easily overlooked with the flavor created by the combination of the blue cheese and honey. This dish received the high score of 8.5 stars. Great job Pat.

.Al Fresco 36″ ALXE Grill
This post is for the competition on June 10th which was the final week of our Al Fresco competition. Since I was cooking, I agreed to let Pabsty do this write up for my performance. Before I do, I’d like to point out I won this segment of the competition with a score of 8.5 stars on the Al Fresco. The power and flexibility of this grill really came through on this weeks entry. Now I turn it over to Pabtsy.
The commander and chief of the Stove Shop, Big Bad Barry Charbonneau came in clutch with his 8.5 steak, sweet potato, and asparagus meal. He’s lucky Guy Fieri wasn’t around because he sure as heck wouldn’t have brought this meal to flavor town. It lacked in the seasoning department, but definitely made up for it in the actual timing of the cooking. The steak was seared to perfection and the sweet potatoes were soft, buttered and salted perfectly, and I just love asparagus so that gets a high grade from me no matter what. Good job boss man, up next is Patfro on the Big Green Egg.

I’m a little behind posting up our results so this is actually for last Saturday, May 27th. Paul Jurewicz was back on the grill this time on our Al Fresco 36″ ALXE. Paul made up sirloin strip marinated in garlic butter sided with twice baked potatoes with gouda and grilled brussel sprouts. The steak was flavorful and cooked to appropriate doneness but was missing the sear that the Al Fresco is famous for. The twice backed potato was the star of this dish. One judge actually claimed (this is the same judge I quote each week …. Faith) “that was probably the best thing I ever tasted.” The judges were all impressed with this meal giving it a high ranking of 8 stars. Thanks Paul for putting such effort into the dish and for a great meal.

Al Fresco 36″ ALXE Grill
Saturday it was Pabsty McNelleys turn to cook on our Al Fresco 36″ ALXE Gas Grill. Pabsty created a summer-time grill favorite with Burgers Stuffed with Jalapeno Cheese, Roasted Brussel Sprouts and Homemade Pasta Salad. The only thing missing was the red and with table cloth and picnic table. Pabtsy played it safe with this one but none of the judges minded as the dish was tasty and filling. The burgers were so big no one could scoff down more than one … and anyone who knows me knows that’s a rarity. This dish earned an average score of 6.5 stars. Thanks for a great lunch Pat.

WOODSTOVE FIREPLACE & PATIO COOK OFF WEEK 5
20 May 2017
Al Fresco 36″ ALXE Grill
Last week marked the first entry cooked on our Al Fresco 36″ ALXE Gas Grill. Service Manager Patfro Lyons blew us all away with his Korean dish Bulgogi. To go along with the Bulgogi Patfro made Buck Wheat Noodles and Doenjang Cabbage. Pat was able to cook the entire meal on the ALXE which really highlighted the grills versatility. We all agreed that the Bulgogi was delicious. As I was eating, I became a little concerned that I could eventually loose Pat should he ever decide to pursue a career in the culinary arts. My fears were quickly allayed however after one bite of his cabbage dish. As one judge put it, “it’s like hot wilted lettuce.” The bland noodles provided further evidence that Pat is here at least for a little while. All kidding aside, the Bulgogi was amazing. It really could not have been any better and none of us could stop eating it until it was gone. Pat’s dish earned the highest score thus far in the competition at 8.25 stars. Great meal Pat
WOODSTOVE FIREPLACE & PATIO COOK-OFF WEEK 4 RESULTS
4 May 2017
This past week was my time to cook on the Memphis Pellet Grill. For my entry I prepared a traditional New England clam boil. It’s a little strange writing a review of your own entry but I’m left with no other choice since my volunteer backed out on me, so here goes. The boil included clams, mussels, potatoes, homemade sausage (from the Country Butcher & Deli in Groton), onions and yes … hotdogs. First the bad. The potatoes were underdone (a big no-no) and the mussels were a little overdone. Now the good. The broth, which is my favorite part, was awesome. I chaulk this up less to me and more to the homemade sausage. The mussels despite being a little over done had a nice smoky flavor from the pellet smoke. The rest of the meal was good but who’s ever had a bad clam bake.
In summary this meal received a 6.0 rating from the judges which I feel was justified. It certainly was good eats but nothing that deserved a rating above average. Wrapping up this round, service manager Patfro Lyons came out on top with his Patfro’s Last Meal Ribs. This weekend we’re starting our second round of the event. During this event we’ll be cooking on our Al Fresco Grill which is what many consider the best gas grill on the market. Stop in to see chef Patfo in action.

WOODSTOVE FIREPLACE & PATIO COOK-OFF WEEK 3 RESULTS
26 April 2017
Memphis Pellet Grill week 3
General manager, Paul Jurewicz, graciously filled in for me in week 3 with his Jamaican Jerk Stuffed Peppers and Beer Can Chicken and did not disappoint. I personally liked the peppers a lot and felt the Memphis Grill really shined imparting a smokey flavor to the peppers. However others were not so pleased complaining about too much spice. Among those complaints were “it felt like my nostrils were burning” and”I have this taste in the back of my mouth I can’t get rid of.” We all, however agreed that the chicken was cooked to moisty perfection and the flavor was very good. This meal received an average grade of 6.5. Nice job Paul.
WOODSTOVE FIREPLACE & PATIO SHOP WEEK 2 COOK-OFF RESULTS
18 April 2017
I’m happy to say that none of us had to reach for the bag lunch this past Saturday since Pabsty McNelleys’ Bacon Wrapped Chicken was a delightful surprise. Despite his total lack of experience with the Memphis Pellet Grill, Pabsty grilled up a chicken treat that was cooked to perfection. The chicken did lack flavor however and some sought the aid of barbecue to get over the blandness. The roasted garlic and potato side was a little underdone and was not ready with the entree. Also, we all agreed that we would not let Pabsty’s skate by with the store-bought Chinese Sausage part of his entry.
The consensus vote was that this meal deserved a 6.0. Thanks to Pabsty for a meal that surpassed expectation. Next up in the competition is myself and I’m planning on preparing a New England Clam Bake on the Memphis Pellet Grill.

WOODSTOVE FIREPLACE & PATIO SHOP WEEK 2 COOK-OFF
14 April 2017
This Saturday, service man Pabsty McNelley will prepare Bacon Wrapped Chicken Breast on our Memphis Pro Pellet Grill. Unlike his predecessor, Pabsty is downplaying his entry and his grilling skills for that matter, almost to the point of sounding a bit Belichickian. No one quite knows what to expect this week and most are considering bringing a bag lunch just in case.
WOODSTOVE FIREPLACE & PATIO SHOP WEEK 1 COOK-OFF RESULTS
9 April 2017
Our cook-off is off to a delicious start. Patfro Lyons set the bar high with his Pat’s Last Meal Ribs. We were all a little concerned while Patfro prepared his dish in secrecy behind the closed door of our dual purpose kitchen/bathroom but the results quickly took away our fears. The aroma of the ribs cooked on the Memphis Pellet Grill was nothing short of a 10 in my book and the flavor closely followed suit. These ribs were truly delicious. Despite their tastiness, these ribs left us all reaching for the dental floss due to chef Patfro’s cooking time miscalculation which not only left meat on the bone but also kept us hungry until 2 in the afternoon. The chef’s brussel sprout side was looked like it was cooked in one of our woodstoves rather than on a grill.
In summary, this was a great start to our cook-off. I give this week’s effort a 7.0 ranking. Thanks to Patfro for a tasty meal. Next up in the competition Exothermic expert Pabsty McNeeley. Pabsty is known for his work with the Ramen Noodle. The question is whether he will be able to convert those skills the grill.
WOODSTOVE FIREPLACE & PATIO SHOP COOK-OFF STARTS THIS SATURDAY
6 April 2017
Each Saturday a different employee of the Woodstove Fireplace and Patio shop will cook a dish of their choice on one of our gas, pellet or wood grills. The goal of this contest is to settle a long contested debate about who is the best griller at the store. Each week we’ll vote and the employee with the best average score will be crowned the Woodstove Fireplace and Patio Grill Master. We will also have prizes for the best dishes. This contest will run through Labor Day so stop in on any Saturday to see and taste what's cookin'.
This Saturday, service manager Pat Lyons (a.k.a. Patfro) will be grilling up his self-entitled “Pat’s Last Meal Ribs”. In Patfro’s words “the dish name is fitting because if you had only one meal left on earth, this would be the one you’d want.” The rest of the staff is a little worried that this may truly be the last thing they ever eat.

MODERN WOOD STOVE TECHNOLOGY
2 August 2016
Traditionally people think of two types of wood stoves: catalytic and non-catalytic. But today, there are also hybrid stoves and automated stoves. These two new categories offer great economic and environmental benefits. All four types are discussed below in detail.
Non-catalytic Stoves
These stoves make up 80% of stoves on the market. Older stoves produced before the mid-80’s tend to be very inefficient and emit large amount of pollution into the environment. Newer, EPA stoves have a technology referred to as secondary combustion. These have been the stove of choice since the development of the secondary combustion technology in which secondary combustion air is introduced in order to burn off wood gases before they escape into the environment. While much more efficient and cleaner than older stoves, they tend to burn through fuel more quickly than catalytic or hybrid stoves. Only the larger fireboxes, usually 2.5 cubic feet and larger, can consistently hold a fire overnight or through the day without reloading. However, they are easier to use than catalytic stoves. Efficiencies tend to range between 65% and 75% using the higher heating values (HHV).
Catalytic Stoves
These stoves tend to be more expensive, but are capable of holding a fire longer and use less wood than non-catalytic stoves. They tend to be 75%- 83% efficient (HHV) and are often favored by people who live in colder climates or want to use their stove as their primary or sole heat source. Catalysts last much longer than the ones in stoves in the 1980s. This is an important note. Early catalyst stoves did not last very long having a reputation for their catalysts failing after only a season or two. Newer catalyst stoves catalysts can upwards of 10 years. They also produce less smoke than non-catalyst stoves.
Hybrid Stoves
As the name would indicate, these stoves use both non-catalytic and catalytic technology to achieve maximum efficiency and cleanliness. At least three manufacturers make them now and they can offer the best of both technologies. They typically are more expensive than stoves with other technologies, however, they have efficiencies in the range of most catalyst stoves and their catalyst last even longer as they are not doing the bulk of the work. They also run cleaner than catalyst stoves when the catalyst is not engaged.
Automated Stoves
Some automated (or ‘smart’) stoves use sensors and computer chips to adjust airflow, others are single burn rate stoves that use bi-metallic dampers. In both cases, these stoves allow the consumer to “load and leave”, allowing the stove to maximize efficiency and emissions reductions on its own. Automated stoves are an emerging class that is more well-known in Europe and just starting to enter the US market. Many of these stoves already meet the stringent 2020 EPA emission standards of <2.0 grams an hour. as you imagine, these stoves typically cost more than most other wood stoves on the>
At the Wood Stove & Fireplace Shop, we carry Secondary Combustion, Catalytic, Hybrid and Automated stoves from the best stove manufacturers in the world. If you’re in the market for a wood stove or insert, I suggest you come in and let our expert staff help you choose the one that is right for you.

CONGRESS EXTENDS THE WOOD AND PELLET STOVE TAX CREDIT FOR TWO YEARS THROUGH 2016
30 January 2016
On Friday, December 18, 2015, President Obama signed the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2016 (H.R. 2029) which passed the full Senate by a vote of 65-33 and passed the House by an earlier vote of 316-113. The bill reauthorizes, among other credits, the Sec. 25C tax credit for non-business energy property. Included in this section is the $300 tax credit for residential biomass stoves that are at least 75 percent efficient. The bill did not change any aspects of the tax credit, only moving the expiration date of the credit from December 31, 2014 to December 31, 2016. This means that all qualifying purchases made in 2015 and 2016 are eligible for the tax credit.

TAX CREDIT FOR QUALIFYING BIOMASS STOVES
28 January 2015
If you are a residential consumer who has purchased a biomass heating system in 2014 you could quality for a tax credit! The credit applies to purchases made in 2014. Consumers who made residential biomass heating purchases need to have a proof of purchase for this to be effective. For example, a manufacturer’s certificate that demonstrates the unit qualifies for Sec. 25C and a receipt.
If your wood stove uses wood or pellets as fuel then you qualify for this tax credit. The HPBA states the following about consumers claiming this credit. “Consumers claim the credit on their federal income tax form at the end of the year. This credit reduces the amount of tax you owe. The credit is a reduction of total income tax at the bottom of your return, up to $300. This tax credit is a non-refundable tax credit available for individuals who pay taxes and who make energy-conscious purchases to improve the energy efficiency of their home.”

RECYCLING YOUR FIREPLACE ASH
16 January 2015
If you are burning wood in your fireplace or wood stove you can recycle the ash this spring! Since wood ash is derived from plant material, it contains most of the 13 essential nutrients that the soil must supply for plant growth. When wood burns, nitrogen and sulfur are lost as gases, and calcium, potassium, magnesium and trace elements remain.
The value that your ash will have for your garden, trees, and certain shrubs is all determined by the type wood that you are burning. A quick way to measure what you think your ash is worth is that hardwoods produce three times more ash per cord than softwoods, and five times as much nutrients are present in the hardwood ash.
Before applying the ash from your winter season to your lawn and plants do some research on the proper amount to apply!

HOW TO KEEP YOUR OUTDOOR GRILL IN GREAT CONDITION
14 July 2014
Keeping your grill in the best shape this summer can increase its life-time, performance, and keep the food you cook on it coming out great! To keep your gas or charcoal outdoor grill from the Woodstove & Fireplace Shop in Littleton, MA in tip-top shape, follow these tips.
- Since most grills are left outside, you should always cover your grill. We have outdoor grill covers in all shapes and sizes at the shop in Littleton, MA
- If your grill sits on pavement, place a tarp or a grill mat underneath it to catch debris, grease and food.
- Replacing your grill parts over the years is important. Be sure to save your manual and the warranty information as many manufacturers come with a lifetime guarantee on certain parts.
- Treat your grill like your stove top! Cleaning the grill thoroughly every five to ten uses.
- Clean the venturi tubes. Venturies are the tubes that mix air and gas and feed to the burners. They need to be clear to work properly and usually are filled with insects during the winter. Even a small blockage can become a fire hazard. Remove the entire burner/tube assembly and clean with soapy water and a small wire brush, paperclip or tooth pick.
- Have your grill at least 10 feet from your house and never have it under any flammable surface like a garage, or porch.
- Store your propane tanks upright in a secure position and never in your car!
You can find outdoor grill accessories and top of the line grills, like Sabre, Weber, and Big Green Egg at the Woodstove & Fireplace Shop in Littleton, MA.
