Building Resources (Fireplaces and Hearth)Fireplace & Hearth

There are fireplaces and then there are fireplaces

Very often, the hearth or fireplace is the focal point of log or timberframe home.  Beautiful rock fireplaces add the perfect touch of warmth and charm with or without a fire blazing.  As the center of attention, many people will go to extraordinary lengths to adorn this area with custom carved mantles and stoves or inserts with custom doors or screens.  You will find some talented artists and leading companies in our list below.  Wood stoves are both decorative and quality stoves can be used to heat an entire home. 

I like everything about using my woodstove.  I cut, split and stack my own firewood and enjoy the exercise that provides.  I like the ritual of starting a fire and nursing it back to life in the morning from the overnight coals.  I also like saving thousands of dollars each year on LP gas.

The Ultimate Firewood RackThe only thing I didn't like (past tense) was storing an ample supply of firewood.  If you keep your stove burning 24/7, you're talking about a lot of trips to the door.  I decided that the best way to address my problem was to increase the amount of wood I stored inside - and improve my method of firewood 'transportation'.  I simply needed a bigger firewood rack - mounted on wheels so I invented one!  Read about the ultimate indoor firewood rack!
