the waste, Hearst stated that

could be placed in a 10 by 10’
room.
Big Creek
Bookworm
Is Good
Second graders at Big
Creek Elementary School
are very proud to show off
their “Bookworms,” that
they have earned since
school began last fall.
Each child reads a library
book at home with their
parents listening. When the
book has been read, the
parent signs a Bookworm
paper to be sent back to the
classroom teacher. The
teacher then awards the
child with a new “Bookworm
Part,” to make the
Bookworms grow and grow.
The librarian Mrs. Gayle
Blount, helps the children
select the books appropriate
to their reading abilities.
This reading program has
been very successful for the
students. It not only helps
the children with reading,
but it also helps them to love
reading with their parents.
The second grade teachers
are pleased to get the
parents involved in the
students work at Big Creek
School.
If you’re considering
a wood stove,
you’d better read this.
America's rekindled love affair with wood heating is burn
ing brightly and nearly everyone has at one time or another
considered buying a wood stove.
However, because the market has become flooded
with a seemingly endless number of wood stove manufac
turers, various claims and information have probably got
you thoroughly confused. The makers of Craft Stove
would like to give you the straight facts about wood
stoves.
Do wood stoves
really work?
Wood stoves could very well be the answer to America’s
fuel shortage. Wood is the only energy source we know of
that grows. New techniques in Forestry have halved the
length of time it takes a tree to reach maturity. In fact,
President Carter has stated; "The nation’s wood re
sources are very large and more than sufficient to allow a
significant increase in the present use of wood for home
heating ... over half our land is covered with trees which
are actually producing twice as much timber as is being
harvested annually. Much of this growth is not good
timber and its removal would be advantageous.”
Currently, there are hundreds of different brands and
models of wood stoves on the market, and depending
upon the type you choose you can, indeed, cut your
heating fuel costs by up to 80%. In fact, a Craft Stove can
be your primary heating source for a home up to 3000
square feet in area. And it can be more effective than many
conventional central heating systems.
Craft Stoves are designed to burn wood slowly through an
“air-starvation” method which will utilize up toßo% of the
energy available in a piece of wood. Conventional fire-
places use only about 10%. Basic
ally, the Craft Stove works by us
ing warm air to push the cold air in
your house into the stove, cir
culates this air over the heated
area inside the stove, (it also uses
some of this cold air to effect the
most efficient combustion, or
burning of the wood) and then
forces it back into the room. From
there, this warm air is circulated
through the houseon the principle
of convection (as the stove pulls cool air from one room,
the stove’s heated air moves in to take its place). This con
vection assures you that in a normal insulated home, there
should never be more than a 10 degree difference in the
temperature of the various rooms of your home.
The best hand-crafted stove money can buy.
Craft Stoves are hand-crafted by National Steelcrafters
Inc. Because one man builds the complete stove, you are
assured of the quality that cannot be achieved with an
assembly line stove. This craftsman-like approach to the
manufacture of Craft Stoves is combined with superior
technology and materials to make »
them one of the most energy BJH
efficient heat sources jß|§|
available. The stove is
guaranteed air-tight, and
requires fewer wood y
fills than any other
wood stove on the %
market.

Are wood stoves safe?
Many people have been hesitant to consider a wood stove
because they are unsure of their safety. Indeed, therearea
few inferior wood stoves being manufactured that could,
through poor materials and construction, be a hazard.
This can be avoided simply by going to a reputable wood
stove dealer and inspecting the construction of the wood
stove.
The main safety consideration is not the stove itself,
but its installation. Again, you should go toareputableand
knowledgeable dealer who installs and offers good ser
vice.
You may elect to install a wood stove yourself. And again,
a reputable, knowledgeable dealer can help. Craft Stove
dealers must meet a long list of criteria before they are
allowed to sell the Craft Stove and you can be sure they’re
authorities on wood stoves and their installation.
How do you choose a
wood stove?
The primary considerations in selecting a wood stove
should be its construction and performance. The follow
ing are the most important guidelines to follow:
Size & Heating Capacity Don’t let anyone
"oversell" you on a wood stove. Many dealers will tell you
to bring your fireplace dimensions with you when you
choose a stove. It’s just as important that you know the
square footage of the area to be heated. Then, purchase
only the size stove that is necessary to heat that area. Buy
ing too large a stove will not only cost you more on the in
itial purchase price, it will also operate at lower efficiency
and therefore burn more fuel.
You’ll likely find several different models and styles
that meet your heating needs. But don't be misled by the
stove’s appearance and physical size. The width of the
stove’s opening is meaningless. You should measure the
size of the firebox bottom. This will determine the stove's
heating capacity.
Craft Stove manufactures two different models -- a
fireplace insert and a free standing model in every size to
meet your heating requirements, from 1400 square feet to
3000 square feet heating capacity.
Craft Stoves are also attractive. Many people have

ficers, Terri Jo Smith, president; Mark Wood, vice president; Pam Prater,
secretary; Marjorie Poss, School Projects Chairman; and Kenneth Tidwell,
Community Projects Chairman.
Doors For a stove or fireplace insert to be efficient, it
is imperative that the unit is airtight. Many of Craft Stove's
competitors use steel doors rather than cast-iron doors.
Steel doors tend to warp from the heat inside the stove and
they soon become loose-fitting, causing gaps in the
stove.
Craft Stoves use only cast-iron doors of the highest
quality. Their extreme thickness renders it virtually im
possible for them to crack or warp. They’re airtight and will
stay that way.
Firebox steel Buy a stove that uses firebox steel in
its construction. Some manufacturers use lower grades
of steel that could warp or change size. Also, make sure
that firebrick is used in the bottom of the stove. These two
specifications - firebox steel and firebrick -- are nec
essary for your safety.
Craft Stoves are constructed of the highest quality
steel, cast-iron and firebrick available.
Blower The blower unit is another consideration in
comparing wood stoves. The size or power of the unit is in
significant. It merely needs to be large enough to sustain
the circulation of air through the stove.
Many of Craft Stove’s competitors have manufac
tured theirf ireplace insert stoves with the blower mounted
in the rear of the unit, which shortens the lifetime of the
blower due to excessive heat from the stove. Also, it
makes the blower difficult to service because the stove
must be pulled out of the fireplace in order to get to the
blower.

Thermostat Some wood stoves have a thermo
statically controlled blower unit. When the stove heats to
a certain temperature, the blower comes on. When the
stove cools down, the blower shuts off. This thermostat is
for the manufacturer’s protection in that it assures the
stove will not overheat. These stoves cannot be used
without the blower.
With Craft Stoves, there is a variable speed blower
that is controlled by the owner. Not only does this offer the
advantage of variable speeds, but it also assures you that
heated air will be more efficiently circulated.

visibility of the fire.

stoves and the best place for answers is at one of the
