If you are considering purchasing a wood stove or are new to owning a wood stove, you may be wondering what accessories would you also want to get. Depending on the size of the room your wood stove is in, it is probably quite good at keeping the area nice and warm but one way to help circulate the heat more evenly throughout the room is a stove fan. These excellent contraptions generate electric current from the hot surface of the stove in order to turn the blade and distribute heat.

Safety around your wood stove should be top priority, so you should definitely consider having stove gloves or gauntlet gloves that will protect your hands when interacting with your hot stove. Additionally, it is wise to have a fire screen or guard that will help keep people, kids or pets away from the hot surfaces.

Lastly, a very important accessory to have is a ‘companion set’. These are all the metal tools that help to deal with wood logs, fire stoking and ash cleanup.
