Wheatland loves its customers and as a result, its customers love and TRUST them. In their latest fireplace tip, they share the ins and outs of choosing the right freestanding stove for your cabin or cottage.

Choosing The Right Freestanding Stove For Your Cabin

A freestanding stove is a great addition to any cabin or cottage. Freestanding stoves add unmatched warmth, comfort and heating capacity while also creating that atmosphere that is quintessentially cabin – nothing beats sitting in your cabin and staring at the fire. But which freestanding stove is right for YOUR cabin? There are so many styles and types to choose from; this guide will give you a brief breakdown of the different styles of stoves, fuel types available, and the benefits of each.

Step 1: Choose Your Fuel Type

Cabin Friendly Wood Stoves

Wood-burning stoves are the most popular for cabins and cottages. For hundreds of years, freestanding wood stoves have been used to heat off-the-grid cabins and vacation properties. Due to the remoteness of these locations and the usual abundance of wood, Wood stoves are a favourite for heating cabins. Nowadays however there are multiple different types of wood-burning stoves, the most common being non-catalytic and catalytic wood stoves.

Non-Catalytic Woods Stoves & Your Cabin

A non-catalytic wood stove uses air tubes and super-heated oxygen to mix with and generate a secondary burn with the gasses and particulates released from burning wood. This results in fewer emissions and greater efficiency.

Key Benefits of Non-Catalytic Wood Stoves

Easy Operation
Highly Efficient
Mid-Long Burn Times
2020 EPA Certified
96% Reduction in Emissions
Limited Lifetime Warranty

Non-catalytic stoves are well suited to someone looking for a straightforward, traditional wood-burning stove. Things to consider for non-catalytic stoves are whether you use your wood stove for supplemental heat, do not live in an extremely cold climate, only use your wood stove occasionally, or want to prioritize straightforward operation over burntimes. In addition, these units are better suited to rental or holiday homes as operating them is very straightforward.

Hybrid-Catalytic Wood Stoves & Your Cabin

A catalytic wood stove uses a catalytic combustor to re-burn the gasses and particulates that are released from the burning wood. These gasses pass through the catalytic combustor, which operates at very high temperatures, and combust – providing increased efficiency, fewer emissions, and longer burn times.

A hybrid catalytic wood stove uses both air tubes and a catalytic combustor to burn the gasses and particulates three times – resulting in extremely efficient fires, very limited emissions, and the longest burn times. After initial combustion, the gasses and particulates from the burning wood are mixed with super-heated air and combust a second time. After secondary combustion the remaining gasses and particulates are funneled through the catalytic combustor where they are then ignited for a third and final time, removing virtually all particulates and gasses.

Key Benefits of Hybrid-Catalytic Wood Stoves

Hyper-Efficient
Very Long Burn Times
Stable Heat Output
2020 EPA Certified
98% Reduction in Emissions
Limited Lifetime Warranty
Industry Leading 10 Year Catalyst Warranty

Catalytic stoves/Hybrid catalytic stoves are ideal for serious wood burners who are seeking longer, overnight burns. If you live in a very cold climate and/or are using your unit as the primary heat source in your home or if you are an eco-conscious consumer looking for the lowest emission wood-burning product available a hybrid catalytic wood stove will be your best fit.

Cabin Friendly Gas Stoves

While lots of people like the look and feel of a traditional wood-burning stove, many don’t want the effort that goes along with splitting, stacking, chopping & hauling wood as well as building and maintaining a wood fire. Luckily there are freestanding gas stoves that give the same look feel, warmth & ambience of a wood stove, but with the convenience of gas. Freestanding gas stoves come in a variety of styles including contemporary, modern, traditional & cast iron so you can replicate the charm, style and beauty of a wood stove without the need for wood!

Natural Gas Freestanding Gas Stoves & Your Cabin

If you have a natural gas line running to your property this is likely the best option for adding a gas stove to your cabin. Natural gas lines are rare in some parts of the country and in the vast majority of “cabin country” so chances are this is not an option for you. Luckily, all Regency gas stoves can be converted to run off liquefied propane as well using a simple conversion kit.

Propane Freestanding Gas Stoves & Your Cabin

Propane is the most common gas used when installing a gas stove in your cabin. Typically an existing propane tank or infrastructure will already be set up prior to the purchase of a stove, but if not you can install a large propane tank (likely a 250-500 gallon tank depending on usage) that will sit on your property and provide storage for the propane used to heat your house.

Step 2: Find Your Size

Standard Wood Stove Square Foot Heating Capacity

Small Wood Stove: less than 500 sq. ft.
Medium Wood Stove: 500 - 1,000 sq. ft.
Large Wood Stove: 1,000 - 2,200 sq. ft.
Extra-Large Wood Stove: 2,200+ sq. ft.

Note: this is simply a benchmark. A wood stove's actual heating capacity will vary dramatically based on a high number of factors, see below for more details, and always discuss sizing and installation with an Authorized Regency dealer.

Factors Affecting Wood Stove Heating Capacity?

There is a wide variety of factors that can influence the heating capacity of your wood-burning stove, some of these include:

Ceiling Height - The total volume of the room can drastically change the heating capacity of a wood stove
Insulation - Older poorly insulated homes will decrease the heating capacity of a stove, whereas new highly insulated homes may increase the capacity of the stove
Number of Windows - Windows (even dual-pane) are a source of cooler air, and the more windows in a home/room, the greater the obstacle to the stoves heating capacity
Room/Wall Layout
- Open rooms vs. homes with lots of walls will affect how effective the stove is at heating an area
Type of Wood - The type of wood you are burning will produce a variety of different BTU’s – see the highest BTU wood types here

Step 3: Contact Your Local Fireplace Dealer

Did you know that all fireplaces need to be professionally installed to ensure safe and efficient operation? Many people think they can install them all by themselves, especially in their cabins. All gas appliances need a licensed gas fitter to hook up the gas lines, and modern EPA-certified wood stoves are very precise combustion systems. Failure to install a wood stove correctly can result in poor burn times, inefficient burns or dirty burns that release too much particulate matter into the atmosphere, or an increased risk of fire.

Trusted Regina Bathroom Store Wheatland Fireplace, Kitchen & Bath Feature Beautiful Vanity Design Ideas

15. Jan 2022 Trusted Regina

Your first step into the beautiful Wheatland Fireplace Kitchen & Bath Regina showroom will help you understand why Wheatland has been given the Thumbs up by Trusted Regina in the bathroom category. Wheatland loves their customers and as a result, their customers love and TRUST them. In their latest bathroom tip, they share beautiful bathroom vanity design ideas.

Beautiful Bathroom Vanity Design Ideas

Massive or understated, modern or traditional, decorative or plain practical: the bathroom vanity can be anything you want it to be. It's the place where you prim and pamper yourself, or just comb your hair quickly; it's the place where we get a few minutes to be with ourselves each day, staring at our reflection in the mirror.

Whatever you need out of your vanity space, one of these design ideas ought to inspire you.

1. Rustic Style

Go back to basics with a rustic bathroom vanity. Rough wood, filled with natural knots and colors, recalls the naked wood beams on the ceiling and enhances woodland-inspired decor.

2. Modern Floating Vanity

A weightless white modern vanity in decor represents everything you need in modern, minimalist decor: tons of white, a floating style for minimal floor footprint, and lacquered shine for some light-reflecting texture.

3. Simple and Clean

The simple lines and colors, make a great choice for people with simple tastes. Lots of storage, plenty of counter space on both sides of the sink, and gorgeous light fixtures work together to make your space practical and beautiful.

ABOUT THIS TERM: PRIMARY BATHROOM

Many real estate associations, including the National Association of Home Builders, have classified the term "Master Bedroom" (or "Master Bathroom") as discriminatory. "Primary Bedroom" is the name now widely used among the real estate community and better reflects the purpose of the room.

4. Asymmetrical Vanity

The asymmetrical effect attracts attention and opens up the room to feature the open plumbing and the weightlessness of it all. It's unexpected—and that's what makes it special.

5. Glamorous Mirrored Vanity

You'll feel like a glamorous Hollywood star as you prepare for a night out at a gorgeous mirrored vanity table. Add a beautiful French etched mirror and chandelier-inspired light fixture—everything you need to bring out the glam girl in you.

6. Gold and Blue

The golden brass hardware on this vanity contrasts beautifully with the dark blue paint—in this bathroom. This decor has a royal, regal feel that makes you feel like the ruler of your home—and your day.

7. Small Modern Bathroom Vanities

Instead of one large piece of furniture, go with two smaller spaces, one for each person, so that they don't step on each others' toes in the morning. Clever.

8. Floating Marble

The floating style gives a vanity interesting weightlessness, given the material; the minimal surroundings really bring out the quality of the stone. And a natural wood shelf right under the vanity serves to hold all you need for your morning and evening beauty routines.

9. DIY Farmhouse Vanity

You can fit the interior with shelves and drawers. It's great for small spaces too: its minimal profile fits very well in a bathroom corner.

10. Recycled Antique Bureau

Reuse, recycle, reclaim! An antique bureau-turned-vanity will show you that some things deserve a second chance. Multiple drawers provide lots of storage, and an arched front design makes for unusual bathroom vanity.

11. Couples Vanities

If you have space to spare in your primary bathroom, you might want to consider this kind of setup. Two sinks are separated by a dressing space, which includes an extra mirror, a slim drawer, and a tufted stool. The overall look is traditional and classic, which makes it perfect for a gender-neutral space.

12. Simple Open Vanity

You don't always need lots of drawers or space to make a bathroom vanity effective. A simple shelf side table works well enough for her small bathroom. Add a basin sink, which fits on any flat space, and a wall-mounted faucet for extra space savings.

13. Midcentury Modern

Take yourself back to the 60s with a mid-century modern design. add splashes of color on the drawers and top cabinet door and sleek, hardware-less build suits the shallow vessel sink.

14. Nook Vanity

Have an extra nook space in your bathroom? Why not transform it with a dressing table? Bonus: you have a dedicated space for your beauty supplies, which won't clutter up the counter space around the sink.

15. Rough Wood

Explore Wood To Make Something Special.Sometimes the beauty of nature requires no refinement. Add a double-shelf rough wood counter with a vessel sink and modern faucet fixtures. The balance of polished and unpolished, wood and stone, will make any bathroom a striking space. A farmhouse bathroom vanity is what you need to complete your farmhouse bathroom. As we know that farmhouse design is a popular choice for its aesthetic look. It is charming, simple, and it offers a fantastic look to your bathroom.

16. Eclectic Powder Room

There is something wonderfully indescribable about this bathroom. The spiky mirror frame, the rough, unpolished-edged countertop, the rustic wood, and distressed-looking wall finish all seem rather strange on their own, but together they make for something mysteriously appealing. This Southwestern powder room by Platinum Companies features a rustic vanity with a low-profile vessel sink to fulfill all your desires of a dark and stormy bathroom.

Why Trusted Regina Fireplace Experts at Wheatland Fireplace, Kitchen & Bath Recommend Converting to an Amantii Electric Fireplace

15. Jan 2022 Trusted Regina Regina Fireplaces, TRUSTED TIPS

Your first step into the beautiful Wheatland Fireplace Kitchen & Bath Regina showroom will help you understand why Wheatland Fireplace has been given the Thumbs up by Trusted Regina as your exclusive Trusted Regina fireplace store. Wheatland loves their customers and as a result, their customers love and TRUST them. In their latest fireplace tip, they recommend converting to an Amantii electric fireplace.

Covert to an Amantii Electric Fireplace

Now it’s easier than ever to convert an old wood or gas fireplace into an electric fireplace. Even brick fireplaces are easily converted to the clean look of an Amantii insert. The beauty of having an insert is that you can use Amantii inserts any time of year, with or without heat, to create the desired mood.

Choosing the Right Amantii Model

Ensuring your customers get the right model for their home/office is simple. Explain to your customers that an electric insert is basically a retrofit of their existing fireplace. Find out how wide and how high their opening is. These two measurements are critical when picking the right insert. Then take into account the size of the room and help them choose the best insert for their needs. There are six styles to fit almost any dimension.

Amantii's TRD Inserts

Amantii’s TRD inserts have a contemporary clean look and are available with three or four-sided trim kits. Unit sizes are 26”, 30”, 33”, and 38”. All Amantii TRD inserts are rated for indoor and outdoor use.

The beauty of an Amantii insert is they come with state-of-the-art Fire and Ice® flame sets. Your customers can change the look of their flames from traditional red to more contemporary colours like blue, violet, purple and rose. They also have realistic birch logs to give the look and feel of a freshly lit fireplace. Amantii’s TRD inserts can produce up to 1200W 4096 BTU heat. The two-stage heater comes with a cord and is hard-wire ready. The heater itself is located inside, on the top of the unit, which allows heat to cascade down the glass. Hidden venting creates a true, clean appearance.

When heat isn’t required, a simple click on the remote control turns off the heat, leaving the room bathed in firelight without heat. Something that can’t be done with a wood or gas fireplace.

Sierra Flame INS Inserts

The INS-FM-30 and 34 electric inserts have the same surround as the TDS series; however, the black sheet steel overlay is larger. This style’s heavier look is versatile and can go with almost any room size, decor, and furnishings. Customers love the look of the gradient flames and the realistic traditional log set.

Flame height and intensity are controlled via remote control with the heat vented upwards and can heat up to a 500 sq ft. room. This series has no grills and the latest LED light technology with four-stage front and four-stage back internal backlighting. Like the Amantii series, these Sierra Flame inserts operate with or without heat and are controlled by the remote. It’s an easy and effective way to convert to an electric fireplace.
