Indisputable Proof That You Need Best Woodburners

The Best Woodburners

Wood burners are known to reduce blood pressure and relax. What about the tiny soot particles released by the wood burners?

New stoves are designed to be compliant with the EcoDesign directive. You can enjoy a warm and cozy home, and not break your environmental responsibilities.

1. Ekol Edge

The Ekol Edge contemporary wood burning stove burner is simple in appearance, but does not compromise on performance. It's an excellent choice for those who live in areas that are smoke-free since it comes with the Level 5 ClearSkies certification which means it can be used with dry and seasoned logs and approved solid fuels. Its large heat output makes it a good option for larger spaces and the huge fire glass offers a beautiful view of your flames.

It is equipped with a modern steel frame which means it can be incorporated into traditional inglenooks and freestanding areas. It has an integrated air wash system, which keeps the glass clean and avoids soot accumulation. The stove is extremely seasonal efficiency, which means that a high percentage of the heat it generates is transferring to your home rather than going up the chimney.

The criticism of wood burning stoves has grown, since it was discovered that they can contribute to the creation of microscopic sooty particles called PM2.5. These particles have been associated with lung and heart problems. However, the latest models that are made to meet the Eco design Regulations are much less likely to generate these particles. Wood burning stoves contribute to the pollution produced from burning fossil fuels, like gas and coal.

It is important to choose the appropriate wood bruner for your stove to ensure the most efficient efficiency of heat and combustion. There are a variety of wood that can be used for burning such as eucalyptus, ash, hazel and beech. Eucalyptus is a good choice since it burns quickly and produces a lot of heat, however it needs to be well prepared. Beech is a great choice, but it's difficult to handle because of its thorns.

The Ekol Adept has been designed to be able to withstand the imminent changes in regulations that have been implemented and is Defra exempt and ClearSkies certified, which means you can use it with approved fuels as long as you follow the guidelines. It's a powerful sturdy burner with a 10-Year Body Warranty and a strong construction. The heating performance is also impressive.

2. Arada Holborn 5 Widescreen

Wood burning stoves are still very popular and despite the directive muddle that surrounds them they're not going to disappear. In fact, some advocacy groups are calling for much more stricter restrictions and even a complete ban on log burners, so it's worth reading our guide to stove pollution and regulations before you buy a new log fire or multifuel burner.

One company that is doing its bit to keep the popularity of woodburners up is Arada outdoor woodburning stoves, who have recently released a widescreen version of their popular Holborn 5 Multifuel/Wood Burning stove.

This stove is easy to use, and has an output of 4.9kW. The curvaceous lines and classic design make it ideal for both traditional and modern style. The flat back design ensures it can be placed in shallower recesses, and it's easy to set up a direct air system to boost the efficiency further.

Another excellent feature of this stove is the built-in ash dump that makes it very easy to clean and remove the ashes regularly, helping to reduce the possibility of odours or dust getting into the room.

Wood-burning stoves create a beautiful atmosphere in our homes regardless of whether they are healthy for us. It's important to consider the health effects of indoor pollution and particulate matter. If you're planning to have a woodburner installed it is recommended that you keep the door shut when you're not in the vicinity of the fire. Also, you should regularly clean out the stove to ensure that the indoor air is as healthy as is possible.
