Renewable Resource: Wood is a renewable resource, unlike fossil fuels such as coal, oil, or natural gas. As long as forests are managed sustainably, wood can be continuously replenished.
Carbon Neutrality: When wood is burned, it releases carbon dioxide (CO2) into the atmosphere. However, this is balanced by the fact that trees absorb CO2 during their growth phase. If wood is sourced sustainably and replanted, it can be considered carbon-neutral.
Local Sourcing: Woodburners encourage the use of locally sourced fuel, reducing the carbon footprint associated with transportation compared to importing fossil fuels from distant locations.
Energy Efficiency: Modern woodburners are designed to be highly efficient, with advanced combustion technologies that maximize heat output while minimizing emissions.
Waste Reduction: Woodburners can utilise waste wood, such as offcuts from timber processing or fallen branches, reducing the amount of wood waste sent to landfills.
Independence: Relying on wood as a heating source can make homeowners less dependent on centralized energy systems, promoting energy independence and resilience.
Heat Retention: Woodburners can provide localized heat, allowing homeowners to heat specific areas of their homes more efficiently, reducing the need to heat unused spaces.
Ambiance and Comfort: Woodburners provide a cosy ambiance and can be a comforting focal point in a home, encouraging homeowners to rely less on centralized heating systems.
Economic Benefits: Woodburners can be cost-effective, especially for those with access to free or inexpensive wood sources. They can also reduce heating bills, particularly in areas where electricity or gas prices are high.
Regulations and Standards: Many regions have stringent regulations regarding emissions from woodburning appliances. Modern woodburners are designed to meet these standards, ensuring minimal environmental impact.
Backup Heating: Woodburners can serve as a reliable backup heating source during power outages, making them particularly valuable in areas prone to extreme weather events.
Improved Technology: Ongoing advancements in woodburner technology, such as catalytic converters and secondary combustion systems, continue to improve efficiency and reduce emissions.
By considering these points, one can make a strong case for woodburners as a green and sustainable way to heat homes. However, it's essential to acknowledge that the sustainability of woodburners depends on responsible sourcing, proper maintenance, and adherence to environmental regulations and therefore you, your stove and our world will be happy.

Join me in this blog post as I share my personal journey into the world of bioethanol stoves, exploring the benefits, environmental impact, safety tips, and why I believe they are paving the way for a greener future.
]]>Introduction:
In my quest to continue to bring sustainable choices to my customers I stumbled upon an eco-friendly gem – bioethanol stoves. Therefore I have put 3 in my own home to trial (and they now will be a permanent fixture, I love them!)
These innovative stoves harness the power of bioethanol, a renewable energy source derived from organic materials which keeps my home cosy. Join me in this blog post as I share my personal journey into the world of bioethanol stoves, exploring the benefits, environmental impact, safety tips, and why I believe they are paving the way for a greener future.
Discovering the Magic of Bioethanol:
Bioethanol, often called ethanol, is like a superhero among fuels. It's made from fermenting sugars found in crops like corn, sugarcane, and even waste materials. The best part? It's renewable, sustainable, and leaves a minimal carbon footprint. Learning about bioethanol left me inspired to make a change in my cooking habits.
The Green Benefits of Bioethanol Stoves:
Emissions are composed almost completely of water vapour and CO2 (carbon dioxide); the amount of the CO2 emission from an ethanol flame is comparable to that of two medium-sized candles. The other components emitted are negligible in quantity well under any limits. Other hazardous substances of combustion such as monoxide, stockoxide and aldehyde are not released until the combustion temperature of 700°C; the temperature of bio fireplaces is under 400°C.
Energy Efficiency in My Home:
One of the first things I noticed when using my bioethanol stove was its remarkable energy efficiency. Along with the extreme ease of use. Plus, I can control the flame, resulting in variable fuel consumption and heat output.
Prioritizing Safety:
Safety is paramount when dealing with any fuel source. Here are some safety tips I've learned to follow:
Aesthetic and Portable:
Bioethanol stoves come in various designs, and I've chosen mine to complement my modern décor. The best part is these fires is that they are portable, which means you can enjoy eco-friendly heating both indoors and outdoors if you choose a free standing model.
Accessible Ethanol Fuel:
Getting your hands on bioethanol fuel is easier than you think. It's readily available in various scents too if you fancied adding a little aroma but ensure you use a high-quality product, like we sell. (Cheaper products give off a strong unpleasant smell.)
Heating with a Conscience:
Bioethanol stoves have become an integral part of my sustainable lifestyle. They represent not just a fire but a step toward a cleaner, greener future. I get to enjoy efficient and safe ambient warmth while contributing to a healthier planet.
Conclusion:
Embracing bioethanol stoves in my home has been a personal journey towards sustainability. Their environmental benefits, energy efficiency, and safety features have made them a cherished addition to my home. As I warm my home, I'm reminded that every small choice I make has the power to shape a better, greener future for us all.
]]>Just a heads up!
Most of our manufacturers are going to put their prices up over the next few weeks, some have already done so.
It really is important to book your installations in now, even if we book them for an Autumn installation date. This will fix the material prices for you to prevent the rise in costs and secures an installation date.
There will be an influx of work in September when the schools go back and everybody is back from their holidays, also in preparation for gas and electric *price increases in October.
Please be prepared and get in touch today and we will organise all of this for you.
If you haven't booked a survey yet, then quick!! Being organised will save you money and also will ensure you will be warm and smug this winter.
*'New forecasts suggest energy prices could rise by 51%, taking average annual bills to a whopping £2,980 this October when the next energy price cap kicks in.'
'Analysts Cornwall Insight had previously predicted in May that energy bills would rise by 46% in October, with a new price cap of £2,879. It has now increased its prediction after another spike in wholesale gas prices.'
Looking forward to hearing from you.
Have a great week!

]]>Hello lovely woodburning folk!
I bet you haven't put your stoves to bed just yet!!
Well warmer days are due and now we can start to preparing our gardens, turning them into our new outdoor dining/sitting rooms!
The Stove House have some new outdoor products to help you achieve this. We have new Outdoor Stoves, Chimineas, Firepits and my personal favorites.....the Kamado grills.
Take a look at our full range of outdoor products and see which ones suit your style of cooking and heating needs and get in touch with me if you have any questions as I think you'll want one or even 2 of them to entertain your friends and family this Summer. Plus its cheaper to cook on than your indoor cooker with the way fuel prices are set to rise again soon 😒
Looking forward to hearing from you.
Keep safe, keep warm and keep smiling,
Kindest Regards
Lara
]]>Have you had anybody come up to you yet and say, 'Oh, you're going to have to take your stove out soon' or 'you won't be able to burn wood soon' or 'stoves are going to be banned' ?
What a load of .....ash! You can now tell them they are totally wrong and badly informed!!
In 2019 the Clean Air Act Strategy was announce forming the backbone of negative media coverage on burning wood and woodburning stoves. The original report does not reference any breakdown of appliance type within its “stove” definition, therefore open fires will undoubtedly be included in the study’s figures for “stoves”, which they say account for up to 70% of wood burnt in London alone!!
Since then new key documents and reports have enabled accurate emission modelling and have found the previously accepted contribution of indoor domestic burning to the UK’s PM2.5 emissions has been dramatically over estimated, with almost half the emissions coming from outdoor burning.
*The SIA, (Stove Industry Alliance) have said the main key findings in these studies are:
• Domestic burning releases 47,643 tonnes of PM2.5 a year; of this 46% originates from outdoor burning.
• Emissions from outdoor burning are 9 times higher than the current percentage (5%) attributed to outdoor burning in the 2019 National Atmospheric Emissions Inventory (NAEI).
• When analysing the relative contributions of outdoor burning to indoor burning for just wood fuels (assuming the banning of house coal and wet wood), outdoor wood burning was found to account for 51% of all domestic wood burning PM2.5 emissions.
• Green waste, waste wood and rubbish combined account for 90% of all outdoor burning emissions.
• Outdoor burning sources emit at ground level with no chimney to provide dispersal at height, unlike a stove.
Andy Hill, chair of the Stove Industry Alliance (SIA), said: “...new research shows that appliances that meet Ecodesign regulations account for a very small percentage of PM2.5 emissions, just 2.7%, whereas open fires contribute over 14 times as much. This provides clear evidence of the benefits of switching to modern Ecodesign stoves and shows that calls for all wood burning stoves to be banned are misguided and based on flawed data.'
So now you know the facts you can burn your stoves with pride and ask these people who think they are being clever and greener than you when they say, 'stoves are to be banned', if they have an open fire or ever have a bonfire! Then tell them they need to get a quote for an Ecodesign Ready stove from The Stove House, as they produce 90% fewer emissions than their open fire and become more eco friendly like you. 😍
Have a great weekend,
Lara

]]>Hello lovely warm people,
How are you coping with your new projected oil, gas, and electricity bills?
These bills are set to rise again next month, so I've come up with a few ways you can take back a little bit of control of this spiraling unknown fuel cost crisis.
If you are already a woodstove owner, read on to get more from your stove and capitalize on the heat its producing and how to reduce down your energy bills.
If you are yet to be a proud owner of a wood burner then still read on to see what benefits you are missing out on and book a survey so you to can start saving.
START SAVING!!
1) Don't put that fire to bed just yet! In spring we usually think about cleaning it out and sprucing it up to look pretty for the next couple of seasons. Well whoa there! We are still yet to have a few chilly evenings and what's the point of putting that heating on to heat the whole of your home when you'll probably only be in the lounge for the evening? Light it up and settle in for the night.
2) While you have that stove on make use of the top of it being like a slow cooker!! Just brown/seal your meat off in a large flat bottomed pan on the hob then add the rest of the casserole ingredients and just pop it on the top. Sit back and enjoy a movie while your dinner is cooking and you are keeping warn. Plus there's no need to panic from thinking that these things are making your 'smart meter' spiral into oblivion, its the cost of a couple of logs. If you wanted, turn out the lights!! The fire is creating a lovely ambiance, why spoil it?
Remember any one pot dish, or a slow cooker recipe can be achieved on top of your stove. Make enough for 2 nights if the pot is big enough and the surface of the the top of the stove can take it. Soup and crusty bread is another idea, chili, curry, pot roast chicken, the list is endless.
3) Your lounge is lovely and warm and now you've decided its time to go to bed. Put the airer out in the lounge and let those clothes just finish off drying.
It is best to leave a window open just a bit or get a good through draft the next day, so not to allow any moisture build up within the room.
We can adapt, we don't have to accept these huge inflated prices, throw us a challenge and we'll rise to it. Remember you are amazing.
Need more wood? And I mean good wood, not heavy wet stuff that produces no heat, come on, I've taught you better than that.

Hi Everyone,
Baffled? Well the baffle is the metal plate that sits inside your stove at the top. One of its jobs is to keep the heat in your stove longer and prevents it shooting up the flue. You may have noticed it has bowed, split, or it doesn't fit correctly anymore. It can be dangerous if its warped to the point of where it keeps falling down onto your fire bed, especially when the fire is alight.
What causes the warping of a baffle plate.
The most common cause of parts getting damaged in your woodburning stove, including a warped baffle plate is the over firing of your stove. Overfiring is when your woodburner operates at too high a temperature. This can be caused by using too much fuel at once or using the air vents incorrectly. If the fire is allowed too much oxygen it will burn fiercely and out of control thus casing damage to the baffle plate and other parts of the stove too.
If you open the stove door to create a strong draw to help light the fire don't forget you have done this and wonder off as this will also create a furnace!
The best way to prevent this from happening and to ensure you are burning your stove at the correct temperature is to use a stove pipe thermometer. This clever little gadget tells you if you are burning it too low, just right or too hot. It should be called Goldilocks! 😝
Remember to clean your woodburner baffle
Ash will gather on top of the baffle over time and as its not visible it tends to be the place where people forget to clean.
Hot ashes sitting on top of the baffle may cause erosion and you could see holes appearing. Ensure you frequently remove your baffle plate and clean it or ask your sweep to do it on his regular visits. BUT REMEMBER to place the baffle back in the exact same position, as an ill fitting baffle can cause all sorts of trouble. If in doubt refer back to your stove manual.
You can always book a stove service with us and we can check that all your air vents, riddling bars, door/glass seals, baffle, pipe seals are all intact and working as they should be.
Warmest regards
Lara
I don't know about you but I'm fed up with May! Its been wet and now REALLY windy!!
Tonight I have an appointment with my lovely woodburner and a bottle of Red.
If you are planning to do the same then keep the bottle of red near the fire, but not too near, so it will be a lovely temperature. Plus your lovely warm room will help to make your cheese oozy.
If your friends and family are yet to have a stove then ask them over. Now we are allowed to have friends and family come *inside our homes again make the most of it and ask them to bring a bottle.
Don't forget to mention us and how they should get a stove so they can then return the favour!
Please do send us a picture of you enjoying your stove, we'd love to see.
Keep warm, Keep Safe - Lara😍

Which fuel is best to heat your room, what are the running costs, installation costs, flame effects? These questions are all very important as they all play a major part in choosing which fire is right for you.
We would need to know a few factors to advise on the heat you would require but to discuss options in brief:
1) Wood Burner: We would prefer if possible to be involve at the building of the roof stage and work with your contractors but if its an existing extension it is still possible to install a flue system. Stoves range from £500-900 approx depending on the model and design. The flue system and installation would be approx £1000-1500 for a single story extension. (It would be less if you had an existing chimney). This option will give the exact heat required for that room. Running costs depend on how often you would light the fire and your log source. PROS:This option gives constant heat and real flames and is safe to leave a light even when you are not at home or when you have gone to bed. What else can you say, its a real fire, real flames, real heat.
2) Electric Stove: Good electric effect stoves are £500-700 with no installation cost, but max heat would be 2kW. The flame effect produced by lights can work independently from the heater and is about £5.00 for the year (if fitted with LED bulbs) if left on for 365 days of the year! The heater to run would costs about 15p-25p p/kW p/hr depending on your fuel supplier and most are fitted with thermostats and have a remote control. PROS: Instant flame picture & heat by a flick of a switch.
3) Bioethanol Stove: Bio fires range from £550-1000 with no installation cost, produce upto 3kW approx and cost about £0.70 - £1.30 p/hr to run depending on quantity and quality of fuel purchased, so are great for occasional heating and creating an ambiance but are best not to be used as the main heat source but as supplementary. PROS: Produces a real flame without the need of a chimney and generates heat.
For more detailed information and help please do get in touch.

Hi all,
With us all spending more time at home these days we are trying to find ways to improve our homes either by extensions, revamps, adding rooms outside, converting garages or perhaps creating lovely Airbnb's but how are you going to heat it?

You can buy the split level 'Divide and Conquer' grill set to go in it which allows all these variations on how you can prepare your food......
Change the layout of the 'Divide and Conquer' set to which ever combination you need at the time.....
I think you might have guest that I love mine and think of it as an outdoor Rayburn.
It comes in different sizes depending on the amount of mouths you need to feed and can burn wood or charcoal.
When you are done, close the lid and all the air vents thus starving the flames of oxygen and extinguishing the fire. Now you can use the unspent fuel the next time you fire it up. Fuel saver!!
See more information on the 18", 21" and 23.5" Kamado Grills here.
It looks amazing with its black enameled finish and can be left outside as it can have a cover too!
Sides drop down when not in use and has caster wheels for easy maneuver.
See more information on the 18", 21" and 23.5" Kamado Grills here.
Next week the weather is suppose to be changing and getting warmer again so I'd be prepared and order one today. 😆
Take care and keep warm,

I hope you are keeping warm as it's not very pleasant outside today!!
Thought I'd just remind you what's happening on 1st May with regards to the new law that comes into force with regards to the selling of wood.
The Air Quality (Domestic Solid Fuels Standards) (England) Regulations 2020 will come into force in May 2021. This brings into Regulation ‘Ready to Burn’ and its logo (as seen above) as a way of recognising which fuels are suitable for future use, both for wood and solid mineral fuels.
These Regulations are made under section 87 of the Environment Act 1995 (c. 25) and they make provision restricting the sale of certain solid fuels, and provide for the enforcement of breaches of these Regulations by a local authority.
Legislation will become effective from 1st May 2021 for the majority of firewood suppliers.
The Stove House keep 'Ready to Burn' wood in easy to carry boxes if you need a few to tide you over if you didn't want to order a load but we can also arrange a pallet delivered to you as well.
If you have any questions please do get in touch.
Enjoy the rest of your week.

]]>At the end of the heating season, it is appropriate to remove the ashes from your stove because the ashes actually have the potential to draw moisture that can cause rusting of metal components. The acidic nature of the ash combined with moisture can be very destructive to the metal components.
]]>Just to remind those of you who have already got a stove, that Spring is now well established and if you are planning not to use your stove for a few weeks then please remember to empty the ash out.
At the end of the heating season, it is appropriate to remove the ashes from your stove because the ashes actually have the potential to draw moisture that can cause rusting of metal components. The acidic nature of the ash combined with moisture can be very destructive to the metal components.

Just to clarify what fuels are to be banned and what you can still burn in your stove here is a section from DEFRA on the Government website. You can read the full article here.
]]>On Friday 21st February 2020 Defra announced their response on their cleaner domestic burning of solid fuels and wood consultation. The consultation took place between August and October 2018 and focused on England only.
The proposals in this consultation included:
- restrictions on the sale of wet wood for domestic burning
- phasing out the sale of traditional house coal
- applying sulphur standards and smoke emission limits to all manufactured solid fuels
Burning wet wood can result in more than twice the amount of smoke emissions than from seasoned/dry wood. The heat output from burning wet wood is significantly reduced, and chemical buildup on the inside of the stove and chimney can increase the risk of chimney fires. Wood sold in smaller quantities is more likely to be used immediately and not dried at home, therefore we propose to limit the sales of wood sold in smaller sizes of packaging to dry wood only.
Our proposals are designed to capture net bags of logs sold by retailers such as DIY stores and garden centres for immediate use. We want to ensure occasional stove users who buy small volumes of wood for convenience are not unwittingly burning wet logs that produce high levels of smoke.

With a durable, hard-wearing black anodised finish, the fan automatically slows and stops as the heat from the stove reduces.
The Premium 4 is perfect for all stoves with a flat top and for convector type twin skinned and topped stoves.

The new Ventum twin blade fan, specially designed for small stove tops and restricted spaces, packs a mighty punch; don’t be deceived by its diminutive size, sitting at just 174mm high. Despite its small stature, the airflow from the Ventum II is significantly higher than one might expect. This is due to the carefully developed lightweight blades which scoop great amounts of air propelling it forward through a narrower stream at a tremendous rate. A new easy start motor also means that the fan will start when the base temperature is as low as 45°C.
The innovative ultra-scoop twin propeller design boasts an advanced radiating fin specific for this model to generate maximum airflow.

Have you thought about a woodburning stove? Its better than a fire pit or chiminea as the smoke doesn't drift back and forth across your face! It will also use less fuel. See an example here.
An alternative option would be a bioethanol stove. Carbon neutral, real flame and no flue required!
Please get in touch for more information.
]]>Do you have a wonderful outdoor living space that you like to entertain in? Perhaps it's a retreat when the children have gone to bed. It's a great additional space to have and why not make full use of it by extending the time you can use it by adding some heating to it.

]]>At this time of year, people are happy to take roofs off, rip down walls and start a new project! How are you planning to heat this new space? Well, here you can see we've installed a Scafell on a log store to make a statement and heat the large area within this barn conversion. A flue system has also been installed as there was no existing chimney, this will also generate heat into the room. I would also recommend a stove top fan to push the hot air out further and at a lower level. Contact us as early as possible so we can advise you how to save money before you start decorating or putting walls back up. We are happy to work alongside your builders and architects.😊

]]>This barn is in the process of being renovated and the Parkray Aspect 14 is a beast of a stove with a huge warm heart, ready to heat this large space. A flue system has been installed as there is no existing chimney. So many places are being built without chimneys and this is not a problem. We can design a flue system that will suit your needs.
