Have you heard the term Ecodesign stoves being bandied around? The wood-burning stove business has no shortage of jargon, and this is one of the latest technical terms to enter our vocabulary. While the Ecodesign principle is useful for customers (and certainly will be in the next few years), for somebody who is new to woodburners and trying to work out which appliance is right for them, it is another word with which to get to grips before you can make an informed purchase. In this article, we will aim to demystify Ecodesign stoves and answer some key questions about them. What is Ecodesign? Ecodesign isn’t restricted to wood-burning stoves. It is a Europe-wide programme to lower emissions based on a directive of the European Parliament that comes into full effect in the UK in 2022. As well as woodburners, it also relates to a range of other products, such as: Domestic and service industry lighting products: Directional and non-directional lamps (including ultraviolet radiation) Fluorescent lamps (without integrated ballast) High-intensity discharge lamps Ballasts and luminaires able to operate such lamps Electrical devices: Computers and servers Game consoles Simple/complex set-top boxes Standby for networked equipment Televisions Household appliances: Cookers Dishwashers Freezers Refrigerators Tumble dryers Washing machines Vacuum cleaners Heating and cooling devices: Air conditioners Heaters Comfort fans Heaters Industrial fans Local space heaters Solid fuel local space heaters Solid fuel boilers Ventilation units Water heaters Other products: Circulators Electric motors Electric power consumption standby and off mode External power supplies Imagining equipment Power transformers Professional refrigeration Water pumps How does Ecodesign affect woodburners? The Ecodesign regulations require significant reductions to emissions from woodburners. In fact, emissions need to be 55% lower than the current requirements for DEFRA exempt stoves (which can be used within smoke control areas). Burning wood produces particulate matter (PM). The amount produced can vary significantly depending on what is being burned and how the stove is being operated. In other words, using well seasoned wood with a moisture content of less than 20% and operating your woodburner efficiently significantly reduces the particulate emissions. What are Ecodesign stoves? The Stove Industry Alliance has preempted the introduction of the Ecodesign directive by working with Hetas to setup independent testing to verify woodburners that meet the lower emissions and minimum efficiency criteria for Ecodesign. It is branding stoves that pass the tests as Ecodesign Ready. Independent research conducted by Kiwa Gastec shows Ecodesign stoves can reduce emissions by 90% in comparison to an open fire and by 80% compared to an old stove. Should Ecodesign impact my buying decision? At the moment, buying an Ecodesign stove is a personal preference based on it having been verified as having lower emissions (in the same way that you might buy a new car based on similar reasons). When the Ecodesign directive comes into force in 2022, it will only relate to the sale of new appliances, and any stoves sold prior to the start of the initiative will still be unaffected by the changes 🔥

If your wood-burning stove is left unused or exposed to moisture then it can start to rust. Modern stoves are much less susceptible than older stoves to this problem, but issues can occasionally arise even in a contemporary appliance if it is out of use for an extended period. Rust is an easy problem to tackle but it’s important that you deal with it as soon as you spot it. The easiest way to ensure that you don’t miss any is to incorporate a quick check for rust into a monthly MOT for your stove. Once you’ve found some rust, it’s important to act as quickly as possible to get rid of it. If the rust is left it can spread and damage the metal. Given the temperatures at which your stove operates, the metal takes considerable punishment. As a result, a rust spot could develop into a hole in the stove over time if left untreated, which is dangerous. Aside from that, it can also spoil the appearance of you stove, which is a shame when it is such an easy problem to tackle. Treating rust on a wood-burning stove To treat rust, you first need to wait for you stove to cool fully after using it. Once it is cool you can use some wire wool to remove the rust. Rust particles are not the most pleasant thing to tread into your carpet so you might want to put down some sheets beforehand. Using fairly gentle small, circular motions, rub the wire wool over the affected area until all of the rust has been removed. Once all the rust has gone, wipe the stove down with a damp cloth and make sure that all the rust particles are removed. You can then leave it to dry. Restoring your stove’s appearance Having got rid of the rust and given your stove time to dry, it is time to restore it back to its former glory. To do this, you need a specialist stove paint. Don’t be tempted to try any old matt black paint – stove paint is made to withstand very high temperatures (usually up to 600°C). Ordinary paint would start to peel off almost immediately. You’ll probably need to give the stove two coats, but make sure you give the first coat time to dry before applying the second. Aim for an even covering over the area you’re painting.
