The most efficient way to heat with wood is with a masonry heater.  A centuries old European tradition to conserve wood usage, provide the most comfortable heat, capable of cooking, and providing a warm seat to warm both body and soul.  I've been trained in the Finnish style of masonry heaters of which can be veneered in a variety of materials from brick and stone to tile and stucco.  I have also studied in Sweden, learning to build Swedish tile stoves that provide an elegant aesthetic to heating your home.  Whether building a new home or retro-fitting in an old, I will work with you in placement and design to give you the best possible heater that fits your needs.
