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. 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. StoveSpecialistsUK definitely recommend using a stove fan 🔥

Are you having a staycation this year ? 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. If a stove is something you are interested in for your holiday home, get in touch….& what better than to holiday home from home 🔥 💻 info@stovespecialists.co.uk 📞 08008321860 Message us through our Facebook page 🔥

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.
