Wood-Burning Stoves: Cosy, Efficient, and Here to Stay!

Contrary to recent rumours, wood-burning stoves are NOT being banned. They remain a cosy, efficient, and environmentally responsible choice for heating your home.

Cosy & Compliant
Using good quality, sustainably sourced, dry fuel can save you money and reduce your carbon footprint. Look for the Ready to Burn logo when purchasing your fuel and always comply with local smoke regulations to keep your home warm and eco-friendly.

Eco-Friendly
Modern wood-burning stoves are built to the highest environmental standards, providing more warmth with less wood and smoke. An Ecodesign-compliant stove, when used correctly, can emit up to:

 - 90% less emissions than an open-fire
 - 80% less than many older stove models

Safe and Secure
With proper installation, a high-quality chimney, and regular maintenance—including annual chimney sweeping—wood-burning stoves offer a safe and reliable source of heat for your home.
