Maryland has a grant program for wood and pellet stoves, similar to their solar PV grant program.  It was begun in 2012 and gives out about 1,000 grants per year, of which about 800 are for pellet stoves and 200 for wood stoves. Initial data showed that the program was reaching less affluent homes, which is one purpose of the program.

This Q & A was written by the Alliance for Green Heat, an independent non-profit wood heat organization, to assist Marylanders seeking grants from the Maryland Energy Administration (MEA)'s Clean Burning Wood Stove Grant Program. However, the MEA is the final arbiter of any questions or issues, not us. The info here is meant to supplement and expand on info provided by the MEA. Refer to the MEA program website for eligibility guidance and assistance.
