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.

Can you put a woodburner flue through a polycarbonate roof on a conservatory? One of the most frequent questions we are asked by people who are interested in installing a wood-burning stove in a conservatory is: can you have a woodburner flue running through a polycarbonate roof? Conservatories are very popular places to install stoves. Given that they are living rooms in which people want to spend time relaxing, yet can become cool in autumn, winter and spring given the amount of glass, it is very appealing to add a boost of warmth that makes it a comfortable environment all year round. Understandably, a major concern before going ahead with an installation is the safety concerns about putting a flue pipe through the plastic roofs – usually polycarbonate – that tend to be used on conservatories. The good news is that it is safe to pass a flue pipe through a conservatory roof as long as you follow these steps… Use a twin wall flue Sometimes called an insulated flue, a twin wall flue is a flue pipe surrounded by a layer of insulation, surrounded by another pipe. It will not got as hot as a single wall flue and is therefore safe for use with the polycarbonate roof. Use rubber flashing You probably won’t be able to screw or fix a lot of flashing options to the polycarbonate roof. If this is the case for your conservatory, simply use rubber flashing sealed onto the roof with silicone to keep rainwater out. If this looks unsightly from inside the conservatory, you can place a cover plate at the top of the flue before it exits the conservatory. Consider the Building Regulations The place at which you choose to put a flue through your polycarbonate roof might be influenced by the Building Regulations. For example, Document J of the regulations states that a flue must terminate at least 2.3 metres away from any window horizontally. Make sure you’ve studied the regulations and given due consideration to the position of your appliance within the conservatory before starting to make a hole in the conservatory roof.

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 aswell as stoves, but we’ll just focus on burners. 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. Any stoves sold prior to the start of the initiative will still be unaffected by the changes. Recommended Ecodesign Stoves If you’re interested in buying a low emissions, high efficiency woodburner that is Ecodesign ready, you need look no further, as we have a large range of stoves that have already got the SIA Ecodesign Ready certification on them.
