Heating with Soapstone

HearthStone wood burning stoves are built using soapstone. Soapstone is a natural material which can absorb the high heat of a fire, then radiate a gentle heat into the room. This means your home stays at a comfortable temperature, in the Comfort Zone.

The heat from soapstone is gentle, even and comfortable. You can sit close to a soapstone stove without getting the uncomfortable blast of heat you would feel from steel.

Once heated, soapstone stays warm for hours, making it the ideal material for overnight heating or for other long stretches of time when you can’t tend the fire. And, it makes re-starting your stove quick and easy.

Heating with Cast Iron and Soapstone

The cast iron wood burning stoves are lined with soapstone on the inside of the firebox.

You can enjoy the style of an all cast iron stove, and also benefit from the powers of soapstone. Our cast iron stoves provide heat soon after lighting, and also say warm longer than other cast iron stoves thanks to the soapstone lining.

Easy. They are easy to start and operate. With gas fireplace inserts, homeowners are able to get the heat that they desire immediately. Inserts also have controls mounted on them so homeowners can regulate the heat and adjust the flames if they desire. Often, they can be regulated with a thermostat for even heating.

Cost-efficient. Gas inserts are considered a more practical heat source than the traditional open fireplace. They do not require extensive installation or maintenance. They also force heated air out into the living space rather than up the chimney like traditional open fireplaces.

A gas fireplace insert is an easy, convenient way to heat your home and to make a traditional open fireplace more attractive. They consist of a firebox that is surrounded by steel or cast iron decorative trim with an insulated glass window for viewing. Because the box is sealed, the heat is prevented from going up the chimney as with open fireplace. In fact, with inserts for fireplaces the heat is forced back into your home instead, and most gas inserts have a blower to help move heated air. Fireplace inserts, both wood and gas, 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.

Right now, at West Sport in Sudbury, you will get your chimney venting system free with the purchase of any gas or wood fireplace inserts. That’s a savings of up to $800.
