Modern Wood Burners

Modern wood burners are a blend of stylish designs, 10kW efficient heating and ecological considerations. They're a wonderful addition to any house, and provide an alternative source of warmth in the event of power outage.

They are more efficient in heating rooms than fireplaces, and emit significantly fewer harmful gases. Wood stoves still emit up to six-times more particle pollution than modern diesel vehicles.

The Jotul F 305 LL

The Jotul F 305 LL, one of the latest models of the Jotul collection is a stunning cast iron stove.

It also has a clean combustion system that helps reduce emissions. This model comes with an air-tight heat shield on the rear and a soapstone top to enhance the modern design.

The F 305 series has a horizontal design that makes it simple to place logs and provides a rapid 10kW peak heat transfer to the room thanks to integrated convection. It was designed by Anderssen & Voll in Norway and combines 160 years of experience in heating with timeless design. The long-leg version of the F 305 is available in white enamel and features an edgier finish to show off the flames of the fire to their fullest.

Its high-performance features include an easy-to-install direct vent system as well as integrated heat convection which reduces the distance to combustible materials at the rear of the stove.

The Focus Grappus

The Focus Grappus wood burner is designed to draw attention to the fire. The flames that are burning are the highlight of the show. Focus' design team has created sleek black stoves that put the focus on the glowing flames. While many wood burning stoves are designed to maximize efficiency, they have chosen the opposite approach. The company's fireplaces are a staple in some of the most prestigious interiors around the world and have been awarded 25 prestigious design awards.

The Focus creation features an impressive, modern flame view window that is held high on the opposite side of a flue. A stylish wood storage provides an amazing visual contrast to the overall design. The tall flame view which is the signature of the Focus range, can be customised to meet your needs, including choosing from various sizes of flues.

The Grappus is a minimalist, modern design that is both striking and easy to use. Its distinctive design makes it stand out from other wood burners. Its sleek lines add a chic accent to any room. It is available in the freestanding and wall-mounted version. The latter is ideal for small spaces with small floor space.

The Grappus also offers the possibility of natural gas or wood-burning power. The Grappus's insulation structure is composed of three layers, the innermost being a glass layer which protects from the heat produced by the fire. The outer layers are designed to take in the heat generated by the process of combustion and spread it evenly across the entire area. This ensures the most comfortable and efficient heating experience, and also helps minimise the effects of condensation on the interior of the glass.

The Grappus is the perfect blend of performance and style. It's available with the range of 3-8kW when using wood, and up to 5 kW when using gas. It is also EcoDesign certified and an ideal choice for those looking for a stylish efficient, practical, and efficient wood burning stove.

The Round Stack

Wood stoves are available in a variety of different styles. There's a wood-burning stove that is perfect for your preferences, whether you prefer something earthy and rustic to complement your home, or something more sleek and modern. Modern stoves are not just beautiful, but also more efficient than traditional heating methods.

Properly stacking logs is vital when preparing them for burning in a stove. This will ensure that they remain dry and ready for burning. By leaving space between the logs and keeping their ends open allows airflow, which is essential to ensuring that your firewood drys efficiently. Additionally, securing the logs from the elements by storing them in tarps or in specialized structures promotes drying and preserves their quality.

Round stacking is a popular way to stack firewood. It is easy to use and looks great. Create a base by laying out three to four rows of treated 2x4s or pallets. Then, build the pillars at the end on top of the base by laying 3-4 pieces of wood next to each other, and then putting another piece on the opposite side with more space at each end. Continue to build these pillars up to 12 rows, ensuring that there is enough space between each of them for air to flow through the pile.

Then, use a center stake to hold the stack straight and start adding perpendicular pieces to the outside of the stack, tying them together in the middle using string. Repeat this process until you have reached the ceiling height of your wall. Then you can fill in the interior with odd pieces or any which are too large for the outer rows. Indoor stacking requires space with a good airflow and plenty of sunlight. Overcrowding can lead to damp and spongy wood. The ideal indoor space for stacking is usually a basement or garage.

The Short Penguin Eco

The Short Penguin Eco from Chilli Penguin is an excellent example of a green wood burner. Its sleek lines and robust construction make it a fantastic choice for those who prefer a bit of traditional style or modern homes. The 5kw woodburner stove is multi-fuel and can burn smokeless or wood. It has a huge window constructed of ceramic so that you can see the flames dancing. It also has an oven which allows you to cook on it or boil water to make hot drinks.

The stove is equipped with three clean burn features that achieve low emissions and more than 80 percent efficiency. The stove utilizes secondary heat retention glazing as well as combustion jets, and airflow diversion. The result is an efficient stove that can also be employed in smoke-control zones.

This stove is the smallest in the domestic range. It has the advantage that it can be fitted to an exterior wall by the addition of a log store. The design is contemporary and clean with stainless steel handles. This is a stove that you'll love to have in your home.

Another effective way to reduce your carbon footprint is to use kiln dried or seasoned wood. This kind of wood has been dried to less than 20% moisture, which helps reduce the amount of smoke it produces when it is burned. It's important to remember that even with an extremely efficient wood burning stove, you could still generate an enormous amount of carbon dioxide when you're not careful.
