Good Work Along the River
Fog settles over the Illinois River near the Marseilles lock on cold November mornings, and inside town, the furnace starts running more than anyone would like. That is often when a wood or pellet stove starts to make sense. Midwest Agri-Com helps Marseilles homeowners compare stoves and fireplaces that fit river town houses, from compact older homes to newer builds on the outskirts. Just west on I-80, our Ottawa showroom lets you see finishes like soapstone and cultured stone in person. Our reach goes well beyond the hearth. Area farms rely on us for in-bin drying and grain handling, and local shops count on us for welding equipment sales, service and supplies whenever a job comes up.
Our Service
Fireplace, Stove and Equipment Know-How
You can turn to our Ottawa-based crew for nearly any project involving heat, steel or grain. On the heat side, we design and build fireplaces with brick or cultured stone faces and wood mantels, and we sell the tools and accessories that make them easy to use. Stove shoppers can stand next to soapstone, cast iron and steel units and compare wood, pellet, gas and corn options before choosing. For steel, we offer welding machines for sale, repair work on equipment you already own and a supply of wire, electrodes and cutting gear. For grain, our lineup includes in-bin drying systems, bin stairs and the handling equipment that moves a crop efficiently, all installed by our own team. Restoration is part of what we do too, so a tired masonry fireplace along the river can be brought back to useful life instead of torn out.

How often should a wood stove chimney be inspected and cleaned?
Plan on an inspection at least once a year, ideally before the heating season starts. Homes that burn wood daily, or burn wood that is not fully seasoned, may need cleaning more often because creosote builds faster. Watch for heavy black deposits, smoke backing into the room or poor draft. Regular inspections keep your stove safe and efficient.
Can I convert my open fireplace to burn wood more efficiently?
Plasma cuts faster and cleaner on thin to medium steel and leaves a narrower kerf, which suits precise shop work. Oxy-fuel handles very thick steel, needs no electricity and doubles for heating and bending stuck parts. Many shops keep a torch for heating and heavy cuts and a plasma cutter for everyday fabrication. Your typical materials should guide the choice.
