Modern Wood Stoves

Winter in the Hudson Valley is the perfect time for gathering around a fire. Taking in the glow and the warmth of a fire is a relaxing and nourishing tradition that goes back centuries. But wood burning stoves aren’t just for rustic cabins anymore. These days this energy-efficient heating system can be found in modern homes around the world. In fact fireplaces and wood burning stoves are still a staple for most homes located in Upstate New York. Many local residents even use this traditional method as a main source of heating their homes.

Morso

Why do we use Morso wood stoves in all our homes? We’ve found that Morso offers the best quality and most efficient wood burning fire stoves available in the United States. This Danish company combines traditional materials and quality craftsmanship with contemporary design in their stoves.

Made from thick cast-iron, Morso wood stoves retain their heat for longer than most standard stoves made from thinner materials. Crafted with care and quality, Morso binds their stoves with ceramic string (rather than welding them) and bolts them together with screws, so the stove will always have a strong and perfect seal.  In addition, Morso wood burning stoves also meet some of the strictest environmental standards in the world.

“Morso has developed a combustion technology that uses pre-heated air to ensure a higher temperature in the firebox, so that almost all the flue gases are burnt. This results in both more environmentally friendly combustion and better fuel economy.”

This free standing Morso wood stove in the Creek House is powerful enough to heat the entire home.

The efficient wood stove in the Lantern Ridge House keeps the home cozy during snowy upstate winters.

“Like a sculpture on its pedestal – a stove with a timeless and minimalist design, and a large glass door that provides an excellent view of the dancing flames.”

For the TinkerBox Guest House, we decide to use an insert style wood stove rather than a freestanding model in the living room. Recessing the stove into the wall creates a sleek modern look complimenting TinkerBox’s design.  A continuous corner window to look out, with the warmth of the built-in fire stove at your back makes the window seat a premiere spot for relaxation.  

“Situated adjacent to the wood stove, the window seat will surely be a cozy little nook – perfect for curling up with a good book during the winter months.”
