With its flames, traditional links with home and family, and the ways of our ancestors, Halloween actually has quite a lot in common with wood-burning stoves once you look past the sweet treats and dressing up outfits. With Halloween 2020 set to be even more focused on the home than previous years, we thought we’d share some ideas for bringing your woodburner into the party. Here are some fun Halloween activities that you can do with your woodburner. Pumpkin soup Why let all of that pumpkin go to waste when you’ve hollowed it out for carving? Turn it into a tasty, comforting pumpkin soup instead. If you’ve got a hotplate or the top of your woodburner is suitable for a saucepan to sit on, you could use your stove to make your autumnal supper. Witch’s cauldron It doesn’t have to be pumpkin soup that gets warmed on your woodburner. How about casting some magic spells? Some green food colouring, water and a selection of spooky ingredients of your choosing will turn your saucepan into a witch’s cauldron. Spooky shadows Light your woodburner, turn off all the lights and use the light from the flames to have fun making some spooky shadows with your hands or some spooktacular props. Toasting marshmallows If you’re Halloween sweet treats include marshmallows, why not serve them in style? Toast them using the flames from your woodburner for a tasty, sticky Halloween snack. Halloween scents Fill your home with seasonal aromas by placing a saucepan of water containing the scents you want on top of the stove. Pumpkin, cinnamon and orange are among the fragrances you might like to have wafting by your nostrils this Halloween. What Halloween activities do you do with your woodburner? We’d love to hear your ideas and family traditions. 🔥It goes without saying that while all these Halloween activities are fun for kids, any contact with the stove should be handled by an adult. Make sure you’ve also got a suitable fireguard in place if you’ve got hot saucepans on your stove🔥

Half term is approaching, is a staycation on the agenda for you ? Static caravans, log cabins and mobile homes make for great holiday hideaways but, given that they are usually made of fairly thin metal, in cooler weather they are not always the cosiest of places in which to relax. Increasingly, people are installing woodburners in their caravan to ensure that the British climate doesn’t reduce the amount of time they can spend there, and to create a snug and homely atmosphere for their family. But many people are still unsure about the feasibility of such a project. A large number of caravan owners still contact us to ask: “Is it possible to install a wood-burning stove in a caravan?” This answer is always a resounding ‘yes’, as long as it is a well-planned and safely carried out by a qualified registered HETAS engineer. Inevitably, there are a lot of considerations along the way. Here are some of the main ones… Fireproof materials Your installation is likely to include changing materials in the vicinity of your new stove. It’s a legal requirement that you don’t have flammable materials next to your stove. That means wood and hardboard must be kept well away. Building a hearth Remember that among those fireproof materials surrounding your stove, it will need to rest on a hearth. This is a requirement for the aforementioned Building Regulations. The hole in the roof Obviously you’ll need to run a flue pipe through the roof of your caravan. And, equally obviously, it’s something you’ll want to get right first time. Do your research before even thinking about making a start on the hole. We recommend using a professional installer. We know that many caravan owners enjoy the challenge of installing their woodburner as a DIY project. But we would recommend you consider bringing in a HETAS-qualified engineer who is well versed in all the legal and safety requirements of your installation. Flue walls There is likely to be wood in the roof structure of your caravan, which poses a fire risk when positioned next to a standard single wall flue pipe. So we recommend a twin wall flue system. Any HETAS engineer would be able to advise you on the most suitable way of achieving this in your caravan.

Halloween is nearly upon us. An army of pint-sized ghosts, witches and monsters will be wandering round their neighbourhood seeking as many treats as they can can get their hands on. Among all the sweets and scariness, there’s a place for wood-burning stoves in your Halloween celebrations. So, why should Halloween prompt you to order a wood-burning stove? Kids love doing hands-on things Halloween is a timely reminder that children love to get hands on. Making and dressing up in costumers, various pumpkin related activity and Halloween-themed arts and crafts: kids love doing stuff. They’ll also love the adventure of collecting wood for a wood-burning stove, helping to set the fire and the joy of seeing the stove lit after their hard work. You’ll need some warmth after all that trick or treating If you’ve already got a wood-burning stove to return to, you’re very lucky! If you don’t yet have one, make sure you do in time for next year. We can assure you that after wandering the streets in chilly conditions, there’s nothing better than returning to your snug living room where the wood burner is lit and waiting for you. Fire is mesmerising Even a small candle inside a pumpkin is enough to fascinate a child. Imagine if you had an entire box of fire to entertain them – staring at this square box is healthier than television. Toast your own marshmallows Marshmallows are tasty at the best of times, and we’ve even seen some ghost marshmallows doing the rounds at the moment. Toasting them is a traditional campfire activity, so why not bring that sense of adventure into your home for Halloween. A tasty post trick and treating snack… you might even collect a few marshmallows on the way round that you can put to good use.

Once you have met the cost of installing a wood-burning stove, it’s down to the way you operate the stove to ensure it saves you as much money as possible. One of the best ways to ensure you use your stove efficiently is to burn seasoned wood. This is wood that has been cut, chopped and left to dry and air for a prolonged period of time. Ideally that means around 18 months sheltered by a car port-type structure. Giving firewood that length of time to season before burning it can result in the moisture content dropping from a much as 45% to as little as 20%. A warm home, faster That makes a big difference when it comes to how well your stove works. Think how much work your appliance has to do to evaporate all the moisture from a piece of wood that contains 45% water before it can even start to heat up your room. And that’s without considering the damaged caused to your stove, flue and the environment by burning wood with a high moisture content. Monitor moisture levels in your fuel The easiest way to ensure you are running your stove as cheaply as possible, and that you are not causing unnecessary damage to your stove, is to use a moisure meter. This handy little device tells you exactly how much moisture is in a log before you burn it. That means: You can check if wood you’ve left to dry is ready yet. You can verify whether wood you’re buying is as well seasoned as the salesman tells you. You know that you’re not releasing harmful gases into the environment. You can reduce the chance of creosote build-up in your flue or chimney. You can get your home up to a cosy temperature quicker.

If you’re thinking about installing a wood-burning stove in your home, one of the first things you need to decide is whether it’s really a woodburner you want or a multi-fuel stove. So, what’s the difference? The biggest difference between the two is indicated by their names. A wood-burning stove is only equipped to burn wood. Multi-fuel stoves can also burn wood, but you have the additional option of burning other solid fuels. Grate differences The most obvious difference between a woodburner and a multi-fuel stove that you’ll be able to spot is that a multi-fuel stove has a raised grate. This is because fuels such as coal burn better when they have an air supply from beneath. Wood, by contrast, does not need this sort of air supply to burn effectively. In a multi-fuel stove there is a grate to allow air to circulate below the fuel, whereas in a wood-burning stove the wood will usually sit on the bottom surface of the firebox because it burns best on a bed of ashes. Some solid fuels also burn at hotter temperatures than wood, which means that burning them on a dedicated wood-burning stove can cause damage to the metalwork. Where’s the ashpan? Multi-fuel stove have an ashpan that sits below the grate to gather the ashes. Since wood burns best on a bed of ashes, woodburners do not include ashpans. Instead, you’ll need a shovel or ash vac pot to collect the ashes. The benefits of a multi-fuel stove The flexibility to vary your fuel Easier to clean due to the ashpan Suitable for use in smoke control areas when approved smokeless fuels are burned. Our Multi-fuel best-seller The Portway Arundel XL Multifuel Stove, to find out more contact us 🔥 The benefits of a wood-burning stove Better for the environment because only sustainable fuel can be burned More efficient if you plan to burn mainly wood Usually slightly cheaper than the equivalent model of multi-fuel stove.
