Any wood-burning stove owner knows the dramatic effect it has on the warmth and cosiness of your home. Using a woodburner fan with your stove will only enhance that. Because woodburner owners also know that a woodburner does not deliver that sudden, intense rush of heat that you get from an open fire. A fire in a wood-burning stove heats the metal around it, and the hot metal then radiates the heat around the room. The result is a more efficient fire and heat that spreads over a wider area than you would get from an open fire, but it’s by no means an immediate process. Using a woodburner fan allows to aid the process by causing the warmth from your stove to spread further and more quickly than would otherwise be the case. A quick think back to school science lessons will tell you that hot air rises, and the hot air created by your woodburner is no different. The outward thrust provided by a stove fan causes the hot air to circulate into the room and not just up to the ceiling. How does a woodburner fan work? A woodburner fan is no different than any other fan in that its blades rotates to encourage the flow of air. Whereas we are more accustomed to seeing this technology deployed to create cold air to cool us on a warm day, in the case of a woodburner fan it is the heated air that is being pushed around the room (and even into adjacent rooms). Since the air directly around the stove is the hottest in the room, circulating this around the room causes it to heat much faster, so you feel the benefits sooner. Saving you money Since your home gets up to a cosy temperature more quickly and more efficiently, a woodburner fan can actually save you money by reducing the amount of fuel you need to burn. Less fuel means less refuelling, so a stove fan can also save you time on tending to the fire. How much does it cost to operate a woodburner fan? Absolutely nothing. The heat from the stove will drive the woodburner fan. The more intense the temperature from your appliance, the faster the blades will turns. As your stove cools down, the woodburner fan will slow down. When your stove goes out, the fan will shut itself off (so you don’t have to worry about a draught being created). There are no batteries or mains electricity involved: the heat from your woodburner provides all the power that’s needed. Where do you install a stove fan? A woodburner fan sits on top of the stove, usually as far back as possible (and always to the rear of the flue pipe). Placing the fan at the back of the stove means it is able to blow the full extend of heat being created across the top of the stove in an outward direction. This is particularly useful if your woodburner sits within a recess or inglenook. Also, the cooler air flow from behind is essential for the fan to be able to power itself. The downward movement of the cooler air when it encounters the warmer air is what drives the blades of the stove fan, so correct placement is essential. Other stove fan benefits Some people also use a woodburner fan to combat dry air in their homes. Carefully placing a metal tray of water on top of the stove prior to lighting will cause the water to quickly evaporate once the stove is lit. The evaporated water will be circulated around your home by the stove fan to ensure there’s plenty of moisture in the air. Are stove fans safe? Yes, as long as they are being used properly, stove fans are perfectly safe. You should not touch a fan when the stove is in use (firstly, because the blades will be moving and, secondly, because the fan itself gets very hot from being on top of the stove. Most stove fans have a handle which can be used to adjust the direction of the fan when it is in use. It is safe to use the handle with the use of a stove glove to ensure that the fan is circulating heat where you want it to go. Given the design and function of stove fans, they can only be used with freestanding stoves and are not suitable for use with inset stoves. Buying a woodburner fan The basic principles behind stove fans are the same for them all. They come in different heights, different numbers of blades and slightly different designs. It’s most common for a stove fan to have two blades. The most important factor is that there is enough room within your stove recess or the area around your stove to accommodate the height of the fan and the diameter of the blades.

‘‘Tis the season of power cuts! Power cuts are part and parcel of an electricity network. With all the stormy weather that seems to be about these days, perhaps you are experiencing more than in previous years. High winds, heavy rainfall and snowy conditions can all cause problems for electricity supplies. If your power seems to be off more regularly than you remember in the past, why not install a woodburner to guard against the effects of a power cut? In our modern world, a power cut is perhaps more inconvenient now than ever before. For homes that are reliant on electric central heating and fires, they are a particular problem. And for households with very young or very old members, the problem is only magnified. Even gas fires are not entirely safe. Some models are dependent on electricity for the lighting process, while sophisticated power gas flues might also be rendered useless when the power goes off. And many of us are now controlling our heating via the smart home, either via our phones or devices in our property. Many of these are taken out of action when we lose our wifi connection, which we do during a power cut. Homeowners who already have a wood-burning stove in their property will know just how useful it can be when the power goes off. Let’s look at some of the main benefits of having a woodburner in your home during a power cut. Why a woodburner is useful in a power cut A wood-burning stove is low-tech. As a result, the opportunities for it to fail are significantly more limited than other appliances. As long as you’ve got fuel to hand, you will be able to light your woodburner during a power cut. A woodburner throws out plenty of heat, so adjacent rooms will feel some benefit from the fire. This would not be the case with alternative options. A woodburner gives you light as well as heat. You will need a lot of candles to generate a similar amount of light.

We’re regularly contacted by people asking about a metal plate at the top of the inside of their wood-burning stove. Sometimes they call it a ‘roof’ or a ‘ceiling’, sometimes they call it a ‘panel’. Often they want to know what it is and what is its purpose. Usually they haven’t even noticed it was there until there was a problem, such as the plate has fallen from its position. No doubt plenty more people are searching Google for information on the metal plate ‘roof’ at the top of their woodburner, so we decided to write this blog post in the hope that we might be able to offer them some assistance. The plate is actually called a baffle plate. Once you know that, you will be able to find out a lot more information about the mystery panel. As the descriptive queries we receive suggest, the baffle plate sits at the top of the inside of a woodburner, just below the top of the firebox. Its purpose is to stop gases escaping straight up the flue pipe. The baffle serves as a barrier to the most direct route for gases to leave the firebox. By delaying the gases’ exit, the baffle allows more of the flammable gases to be burnt rather than leaving the stove unspent. The benefits of this of two-fold. Firstly, it means you get more bang for your buck from your fuel. By ensuring as much as possible of the fuel’s flammable gases are burnt, you’re getting the maximum heat generation from each load of fuel. Secondly, it is better for the environment for the flammable gases to be burnt inside the stove rather than disappearing up the chimney and into the air unspent. A baffle plate makes for a greener burn. Fitting the baffle plate If your baffle plate has become dislodged, it is important to restore it to its correct position to ensure your woodburner continues to be as cost-effective and environmentally friendly as possible. To make this process as easy as possible, it is best to consult with your stove manual or the stove manufacturer. If that’s not possible, you ought to be able to see a ledge or notch upon which the baffle plate will rest. Sometimes it is a screw, sometimes a bit of metal that juts out. In any case, it will be slightly higher up the inside wall of the firebox than the highest point of the stove liners/firebricks. Maintaining the baffle plate If your baffle has fallen down because you inadvertently dislodged it, you should be able to simply put it back in place. If the baffle is repeatedly falling down or isn’t sitting properly, it is possible that it has become warped. This can be caused by overfiring your stove (i.e. allowing it to be burn too hot by using too much fuel or allowing too much oxygen in). The other main wear and tear issue with baffles is holes appearing. Overfiring can contribute to this, but it also caused by ashes being allowed to sit on the baffle and gradually corrode the metal. This can be avoided by regularly cleaning the baffle plate and removing any ashes that have gathered on top of it.

It’s Guy Fawkes Night 🔥 So who’s going to an event this year ? If you are unable to get out why not gather in your household, in front of your burner this evening & watch the flames dancing behind the glass & make the most of what you have. We remember our history immortalised in this nursery rhyme, the Gunpowder Plot ✨ Remember, remember the fifth of November, Gunpowder treason and plot. We see no reason Why gunpowder treason Should ever be forgot! Guy Fawkes, guy, t’was his intent To blow up king and parliament. Three score barrels were laid below To prove old England’s overthrow. By god’s mercy he was catch’d With a darkened lantern and burning match. So, holler boys, holler boys, Let the bells ring. Holler boys, holler boys, God save the king. And what shall we do with him? Burn him 🔥
