As a guide, we suggest that for every 14 cubic metres of space, you will need 1kW (approximately) of heat output in order to achieve a room temperature of 21 degrees. However, this figure will give only a rough guide and does not take into account a number of other important factors such as the age of your home and how well insulated it is; how many rooms are to be heated or whether or not your living space is open plan. You may also require that your woodburner provides your home\u2019s hot water needs and there are certainly many <a href=\"https:\/\/www.stovax.com\/stove-fire\/high-output-boiler-stoves\/\" title=\"High output boiler stoves\">boiler stoves<\/a> to choose from in today\u2019s market.<\/p>\n<p>Below are concise key points to consider before selecting the right stove for your home:<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Style\/aesthetics you desire<br \/>\n\u2022 Heat output appropriate for the room\/space you want to heat<br \/>\n\u2022 Fuel type \u2013 wood burning only or multi-fuel<br \/>\n\u2022 Do you wish the stove to heat water as well as the room?<br \/>\n\u2022 Are Cleanburn, Airwash and efficiency important to you?<br \/>\n\u2022 Is my stove <a href=\"https:\/\/www.stovax.com\/ecodesignready\/\">Ecodesign Ready<\/a>?<br \/>\n\u2022 Do you wish to burn wood in a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.stovax.com\/frequently-asked-questions\/buyer-faqs\/solid-fuel-buyer-faqs\/can-install-wood-burning-appliance-smoke-control-area\/\">Smoke Control Area<\/a>?<\/p>\n<p>All these aspects should be carefully considered before you make your investment but a Stovax retailer will be able to lead you through the options to ensure you choose a stove that will not only be a welcoming and warming feature in your home but a real asset to your heating system. Stovax has a nationwide network of dealers, many with stoves burning live in their showrooms so you can get a real impression of the final effect.

The riddling grate allows the ash and cinders from smokeless fuels, anthracite or peat\/turf briquettes to be riddled into an ashpan, maintaining the primary airflow through the fuel bed and, hence, creating the optimum conditions for efficient combustion of those particular fuels.<\/p>\n<p>According to the model, a Stovax multi-fuel stove may have either an internal or externally controlled system for riddling the grate.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.stovax.com\/stoves\/wood-burning-stoves-or-multi-fuel-stoves\/\">Further information on the difference between wood burning stoves and multi-fuel stoves<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2>Primary Air<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright\" alt=\"Primary Air\" src=\"https:\/\/www.stovax.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/howastoveworks_diagram_4.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p>This is the air that is drawn into the wood burning stove, typically at a low level to maintain the combustion of the solid fuel being burnt. Usually, the primary air enters through a control on the front of the stove. The control can be adjusted to regulate the amount of air entering the firebox, thus giving you the opportunity to determine the intensity of the fire. This, in turn, will alter the heat output.<br \/>\n<a name=\"airwash\"><\/a><br \/>\nPrimary air is the best way of controlling a stove burning solid mineral fuels and may also be used to start a wood fire. However, primary air is not normally used in a log fire once the logs are burning well.<\/p>\n<h2><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.stovax.com\/wp-content\/themes\/stx_com\/img\/prod-icons\/airwash.jpg\" \/> Stovax Airwash System<\/h2>\n<p>Airwash is a specific design feature that uses a specially placed vent or vents to draw in cool air from the room; the air is then heated and ducted to \u2018wash\u2019 over the inside of the glass. This feature helps to keep the glass clean for longer, allowing you to enjoy the glow and flames to the full.<\/p>\n<p>Airwash air is the best way of controlling a stove burning wood and can be used a small amount in a stove burning solid mineral fuels to keep the glass clean.<\/p>\n<h2>Convection Air<\/h2>\n<p>Where a Stovax wood burning stove includes a convection system, cool air from within the room is drawn into the convection chamber and then heated as it rises within the stove before flowing out into the room. The hot air rising draws more cool air into the stove, setting up a continuous flow and maintaining added heating efficiency.<br \/>\n<a name=\"cleanburn\"><\/a><br \/>\nSome Stovax stoves also have the option of an electrically operated fan to boost the convection process and provide a quicker warm-up time within your room.<\/p>\n<h2><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.stovax.com\/wp-content\/themes\/stx_com\/img\/prod-icons\/cleanburn.jpg\" \/> Stovax Cleanburn System<\/h2>\n<p>Most Stovax wood burning stoves incorporate triple air systems to provide a cleaner burn, greater thermal efficiency and control of the flame picture as follows:<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright\" alt=\"Cleanburn\" src=\"https:\/\/www.stovax.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/cleanburn.jpg\" width=\"251\" height=\"304\" \/><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Airwash air is drawn down over the inside of the window to keep the glass clean and clear. It is also used as primary combustion air when burning wood.<\/li>\n<li>Primary air for use with solid fuel, also used to start wood fires but not normally used once a wood fire is burning.<\/li>\n<li>Cleanburn secondary air is pre-heated as it passes through a heat exchanger chamber within the firebox. It is then drawn into the smokestream, where it combusts unburnt hydrocarbons to provide a cleaner burn and greater thermal efficiency.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Introducing pre-heated, secondary air into the firebox at just the right point promotes efficient combustion of any unburnt hydrocarbons that may be in the smoke. This \u2018cleanburn\u2019 process can greatly increase the combustion efficiency of your wood burning stove and dramatically reduce the amount of unburnt particles going up the chimney.<a name=\"externalair\"><\/a> This can in turn reduce your servicing costs and save you money in fuel. It also gives you an improved flame visual.<\/p>\n<h2>External Air<\/h2>\n<p>All wood burning stoves with a heat output above 5kW require an additional flow of air for combustion into the rooms in which they are installed. An External Air facility allows this air to come directly from outside your building rather than through a vent into the room, thus eliminating draughts and adding to the overall heating efficiency.<\/p>\n<h2><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.stovax.com\/wp-content\/themes\/stx_com\/img\/prod-icons\/smoke-control.jpg\" \/> Smoke Control Areas<\/h2>\n<p>Most town and city homes are located in Smoke Control Areas as designated by the Clean Air Act 1993. To burn logs in a stove in these locations, the wood burning stove must be suitable for use in Smoke Control Areas.<\/p>\n<p>This exemption is given only to appliances that have been independently tested to demonstrate particularly cleanburning combustion. Without this exemption, you may only burn smokeless fuels in a multi-fuel stove within a Smoke Control Area. Stovax has one of the most comprehensive choices of stoves for use in Smoke Control Areas.<a name=\"ecodesign\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.stovax.com\/stoves\/smoke-control-areas\/\">More information on wood burning stoves in Smoke Control Areas<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.stovax.com\/wp-content\/themes\/stx_com\/img\/prod-icons\/sia-ecodesign-ready.jpg\" \/> Ecodesign Plus<\/h2>\n<p>Heralding a new era of ultra-green technology, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.stovax.com\/ecodesignplus\">Stovax Ecodesign wood burning and multi-fuel stoves and fires<\/a> feature advanced combustion systems that burn so cleanly they are compliant with future 2022 flue gas emission and thermal efficiency standards.<\/p>\n<p>Designed to meet or exceed Ecodesign standards, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.stovax.com\/ecodesignplus\">Stovax\u2019s compliant stoves and fires<\/a> ensure substances present in smoke emissions such as Carbon Monoxide (CO), nitrous oxides (NOX), organic gaseous compounds (OGC) and particulates (PM) are minimised &#8211; making them some of the most eco-friendly stoves in the world.<\/p>\n<p>The future of solid-fuel heating, Ecodesign stoves and fires offer an even greener heating choice than standard appliances, without sacrificing flame visuals or heat output.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A wood burning stove is a sound investment for your home; if used to replace an older style open fire it has the potential to reduce your house\u2019s carbon footprint by at least 14% and will really make the most of wood\u2019s environmentally neutral and renewable energy.
