Wood and Coal Stoves
Squier's Stove Pricing Policy
Squier Lumber and Hardware prides itself on providing the best value possible for our customers,
the best service, best pricing, and the best overall experience. To that end, we try to provide fair,
consistent pricing to all of our customers all of the time. We avoid "special" pricing, "event" pricing,
"limited time offer" pricing because we do not believe this to be fair to the customer who bought a stove
the week before or the day after the "special" deal ends. Wholesale stove pricing does not change month
to month so neither should retail stove pricing. Price discrimination is however, sadly, a fact of life
and must at times be dealt with. Therefore, Squier Lumber & Hardware, Inc. will beat any local competitor’s lower advertised price on any stove we stock for anyone in our local service area by $100.00.
See store for details. Please note that we have no interest or intent to sell any stoves outside our local
service area.

Fuel Calculator Area
Decide for yourself which alternative fuel is the most beneficial. The best fuel calculators
that we have been able to find are at
Either site can give the consumer an accurate demonstration of the relative costs of heating with pellets,
coal, wood versus other alternatives. It is important to realize that cost is only one important
consideration among many. Other issues such as ease of use, environmental concerns, fuel availability,
fuel suitability to the consumer's lifestyle, home size and layout are among other considerations.
Let us help you determine the right appliance for you. Check out our "Which Fuel Should You Choose" section.
What Fuel Should I Choose?
Squiers makes a significant effort to match your lifestyle to your stove. Unhappy customers suck the very
life-blood from us and chew up resources best spent elsewhere. We prefer to deal with happy people and make
every effort to ensure that. We would rather not sell a stove to anyone who has a significant chance of
being unhappy with their purchase. To that end your choice of many available options for fuel is important
and our assistance in helping you choose the proper fuel for you goes a long way towards making you happy
with your stove purchase.
Wood Pellets - Positives: Environmentally friendly and carbon neutral-does not add to greenhouse gas emissions
and utilizes a waste product which would only go into our landfills. Pellets are domestically produced, the
profits from which remain in North America and do not finance anti-American activities. Pellet stoves can be
placed almost anywhere to increase your comfort and efficiency. Wood pellets have a very low ash content
(about .5% on average) which means that on most models the ash pan needs emptying once a month. Pellets
reduce our dependence on foreign oil and most homeowners can easily store a full year's supply. Wood
pellets are currently among, if not the, least expensive option in cost per Btu realized. You will
save money.
Wood Pellets - Negatives: Requires more effort than some other options-you will tend your stove at least
every few days. Pellet stoves tend to be expensive and complicated. If you wait too long into the
season, the fuel can be difficult to obtain.
Corn - Positives: Environmentally friendly, carbon neutral, domestically produced and inexpensive.
Corn - Negatives: Difficult to store-most readily available in bulk. Corn will mold and mildew if the
moisture level is too high. Vermin and rodents are attracted to a food supply. Corn is more difficult
to burn and consequently the stoves are even more complicated than pellet stoves. Seasonality of corn
vastly affects its availability. Higher ash and clinker content means more tending.
Coal - Positives: Domestically produced-we have 400 years supply in this country alone. Hand fired coal
stoves are much simpler in design. Coal provides a warm, even heat over a longer period as compared to
cordwood. Coal provides a higher Btu per lb resulting in less cost per potential Btu as compared to
pellets or gas.
Coal - Negatives: Stoker coal stoves approach the complication and cost of a pellet stove. Hand fired
coal stoves require skill and attention to operate and in some cases just will not work in chimneys
with little draft. In almost all cases, coal stoves should be vented into a masonry chimney which
limits where the stoves can be placed. Coal stoves require more effort-you will tend your coal stove
in most cases at least once per day. High ash content (8-11%) means dealing with the ash every day.
Due to the relative inefficiency of coal stoves and the need to throw significant amounts of heat up
the chimney for draft, the cost per realized Btu of coal tends to be relatively high.
Wood - Positives: Environmentally friendly, carbon neutral, domestically produced and inexpensive-almost
cannot heat cheaper than with cordwood if you have your own woodlot and are willing to process trees
into firewood.
Wood - Negatives: A lot of effort-splitting, stacking, hauling and frequent tending of the stove. You
will tend the stove at least twice a day. Heat output is difficult to regulate. Cordwood heat tends
to be messy and attract insects. Having to purchase your cordwood dramatically reduces cost efficiency.
Gas - Positives: Gas stoves are easy to use, have a simple design and are low maintenance.
Gas - Negatives: Very costly to operate, heat output tends to the low end.
To paint with a very broad brush - If you are young with more energy than money and your own woodlot it's
hard to beat a cordwood stove. If you are old and tired with more money than energy, a gas stove is
for you. If you are somewhere in between, consider a pellet stove or coal stove. In general, we prefer
to see coal stoves and wood stoves in the basement because of the potential for mess and vented into a
masonry chimney. Pellet or gas stoves could go in either the basement or living areas where they are
the most efficient. At the risk of painting with an even broader brush-Gas stoves are white collar,
pellet stoves are light blue collar, coal stoves are dark blue collar and wood stoves are no collar,
with of course many exceptions to the above generalities. Choose the stove that is right for you and
your circumstances. Squiers can help.
