Have you ever considered buying a wood burning stove but had some reservations? Obviously, we’re big fans of wood burners– along with their pellet burning and multi fuel stove alternatives – so we’re keen to explode some common myths and misconceptions that can prevent people from enjoying what stoves have to offer.

‘Wood burners are expensive to run.’ The cost-effectiveness of your fuel depends on a number of variables, but by taking the right approach, stoves can provide terrific value for money. Ask about suppliers in your local area and you’ll probably find that you can buy large amounts of wood for much less than you think. Choose well-seasoned wood of the correct type and you can get a great amount of energy from it, as much as 90%.

‘Stoves don’t have the strength to heat an entire room.’ Our range of stoves includes designs of all sizes, shapes, designs and outputs, so whatever the size of your space, we’ve probably got a stove to heat it. You can even run your central heating and hot water systems from a stove.

‘Owning a wood burning stove is too much hard work.’ Some people enjoy finding, cutting and storing their own wood, but you certainly don’t have to do that. Simply buy in a season’s supply and forget about it!

‘Wood burners are bad for the environment.’ Again, making the right choices negates this statement. Wood burning stoves will only emit the same amount of carbon that the tree has absorbed during its lifetime. So, use fully seasoned logs with 25% to 30% moisture content to achieve the cleanest possible burn.

‘I can fit my stove myself.’ Not true. Unless you’re a qualified, trained professional – like us – it’s very dangerous to attempt this specialised job.

‘I can’t have a stove because I don’t have a chimney.’ Wrong – ask us today about installing a chimney system or flue!
