Can I have a Woodburning Stove anymore?

Currently there is a lot of bad press and scaremongering regarding woodburning stoves at the moment. If you look at the STOVE INDUSTRY ALLIANCE website all of this news is explained in great depth. (click here for more info) On 14-1-19 Defra introduced its new clean air draft strategy. It goes on to say that it recognises that not all wood burns in the same way and that wood (be it a hard or soft wood species) needs a moisture content of below 20% to burn at its most efficient, but the efficiency in the way it is burnt is also of importance in respect of the particulate matter (PM) which can add to air pollution. Stove owners and those thinking of buying a new stove can be assured that the government is not seeking to ban wood burning stoves, but instead it wants to ensure that consumers are aware of the cleanest performing stoves and are aware of the cleanest fuels. The stove industry answered this situation some years ago by introducing DEFRA approved appliances which are approved for use in smoke control areas. Latterly, in order to fall in line with the new clean air draft strategy, stove manufacturers have produced SIA approved appliances which are the cleanest and most efficient of their kind They are branded ECODESIGN READY. Even the Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan, has said ”ecodesign ready stoves will help consumers to make the right choice of stove for London and other smoke control areas” Burning seasoned wood with a low moisture content on a modern stove remains one of the most environmentally friendly and safe methods of heating your home, and is fully endorsed and recommended by Defra.

WOODWARM STOVES

Our flagship range and the make we all use ourselves at home, we have been enthusiastic  Woodwarm dealers since 1979 !

British made, and despite the name, Woodwarm Stoves are true multi-fuel burners, equally happy to burn purely wood, purely coal or a mixture of the two, thanks to the open /close grate bar system, with external riddling that can be done with the door shut. These stoves have the best clean burn system for really clean glass, even on a slumber, and are supremely controllable.

Available in a comprehensive range of sizes, including the slender models which offer really large viewing windows, Woodwarm Stoves have various styling options and four different ranges to choose from. The most comprehensive of these is the Fireview range , which also includes double-sided stoves, and options such as brass fittings and canopies for the more traditional look, whereas the latest addition is the Phoenix range with a clean contemporary look, and Defra approval for smoke controlled zones.
