What Size Stove Do I Need

Many stoves are chosen on their physical size to match an existing hearth or opening but this has little relationship to the heat requirement of the room. Not withstanding variations in heat loss in individual properties, as a general rule you will need 1KW of heat for every cubic metre. This is based on a room temperature of 21 degrees celcius at an ambient of -1 degree celcius. For example, an average living room measuring 2.3m x 4.9m x 4.7m divided by 14 would require a stove with a nominal output of 4KW.

How Efficient Are Stoves Compared To Open Fires

A stove will operate at efficiency levels between 65-85%. Most open fires operate at levels of 25% or less.

What Flue is Required

Multi fuel stoves require a class 1 chimney and should conform to building regulations. Existing chimneys should be clean, sound and inspected by an expert before installation and lined, if necessary, with a class 1 chimney liner.

Where is The Best Place To Install A Stove

A suitable site will have a non combustible hearth and offer direct access to the flue system. The position will need to be at predetermined clearances from both combustible and non combustible surfaces. These are included in both our installation instructions and the building regulations 2002 approved document J.

What Ventilation is Required

All live fires need ventilation to ensure safe and complete combustion although stoves require significantly less than open fires. Stoves rated upto 5KW require sufficient room ventilation only. Stoves rated in excess of 5KW do require permanent ventilation and your installer will need to refer to the installation instructions for the specific size required.

How Do Stoves Get So Hot

The primary air is drawn into the stove through the slide on the door. The secondary air is regulated with the aid of a slider above the door. The heated secondary air flows down the viewing window and then feeds the fire; it is this secondary combustion that completes the burning cycle by turning unburned volatiles into flame. As much as half of the heat obtainable from wood is obtained from this secondary combustion. It is important that the firebox temperature is maintained at a high level as this also aids complete combustion. The use of a stove pipe thermometer is recommended, as this will indicate stove performance. For Example, when first lighting a stove it is important to get it really hot before closing the burning rate down. The firebox temperature should reach 400C which equates to approximately 250C at the flue pipe. If the stove is operated at this optimum level very clean combustion can be achieved with little or no smoke visible from the chimney.

What Will My Stove Burn

Multi-Fuel Stoves are designed for seasoned wood, wood derived briquettes, brown coal (lignite) briquettes and approved smokeless fuels as recommended by your local CMF coal merchant. Woodburners will burn seasoned wood, wood derived briquettes and brown coal (lignite) briquettes The burning of petroleum coke is strictly prohibited.

Can I Buy A Boiler Stove

We supply stoves which can heat radiators and provide hot water, depending on which model of stove suits your house.

Can I Install A Stove in A Room Without A Chimney

Yes you can. By using Class 1 Flue Pipe we can either create a flue inside by going up through your ceiling and roof or we can go through an exterior wall and put the flue outside and up the wall

What effect Will A stove Have On My Carbon Foot Print

Trees are mostly made of carbohydrate. To grow, trees take in carbon dioxide from the air and using the energy from the sun, turn it into carbohydrate. We chop the trees down, let them dry and then burn them for heat. As well as heat being produced the carbon dioxide that the trees originally trapped from the air is also released. Most firewood available in the uk comes from sustainable forestry - where a tree is felled another is planted. So the carbon that has been released is effectively trapped again by another tree. This means that overall carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere stay the same and so this does not contribute to the greenhouse effect - apart from the carbon released by processing and transporting the wood

Will My Stove Be Guaranteed

Yes, of course. We are official suppliers for all the products on our site and and therefore you will receive a full manufacturers warranty for any product you buy

I Am Worried About Giving My Credit Card Details Over On The Internet

How Easy Are Stoves To Use

Stoves are easier to light, cleaner and safer in use than open fires. They need less attention, use less fuel, make less ash and convert fuel more efficiently. They can be safely left alight, locked shut! Use newspaper/kindling/fire-lighters to light medium logs. Add more fuel when the fire blazes. DAMPERS, POWER and AIR-WASH systems are used to control the stove.

Stove is Not Burning Correctly

Please First Check The Flue is Clear, And There is Plenty Air Getting Into Stove.The Next is Very Important Only Burn Dry Seasoned Wood,Make Your Logs Small Big is Not Great.

What size of boiler/stove do I need for my home?

Heating output is specified in kilowatts, kW, (metric units) or BTUs (Imperial units) and represents the rate at which the system can deliver heat energy. Sizing of heating systems should be done by a qualified heating engineer. It is dependent on many factors including levels of insulation and draught proofing of your home, lowest outside temperature of your locality and patterns of use. However the following 'rule of thumb' can be useful for making initial sizing estimates for central heating boilers: Boiler size (in kW) = volume to be heated (in cubic meters) divided by 34 (for a reasonably well insulated house). It is important to bear in mind that all biomass boilers burn most cleanly and efficiently when working at their maximum output. Therefore it is best not to over-specify but to choose a biomass boiler which is sized to meet your average heating requirements with additional heating sources to provide extra heat on the coldest days.

Why should I burn wood?

When plants grow they use carbon dioxide from the air to make their wood. If you burn the wood the carbon is released back to the atmosphere. As long as you grow another plant/tree then a stable carbon cycle is set up. So ,the use of sustainably produced wood as a fuel does not increase the carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere.

What are the emissions from burning wood?

The main emissions from a wood fired plant burning clean wood from forests or coppice will consist largely of water vapour and carbon dioxide (plus nitrogen and oxygen from the combustion air). The emissions will also contain traces of carbon monoxide, particulates and volatile organic compounds. However, these emissions are not exclusively produced by burning wood. They are also produced when fossil fuels like gas and oil are burned to produce energy. However, this is not a reason to be complacent. Instead it highlights the needs to consider seriously the appliance that the wood is burned in and the quality of the wood fuel that is used
