Why a wood burning stove?
The traditional pot-bellied stove is a thing of the past - today’s wood stove models feature improved safety and efficiency. They produce almost no smoke, minimal ash, and require less firewood, They can be sized to heat a family room, a small cottage, or a full-sized home.
There has been a remarkable increase in how we can heat our home more economically and efficiently and at the same time have less negative impact on the environment. On average an open fire works at 20% efficiency or less compared to a modern stove which will operate at between 75% and 85% efficiency depending on size and type of stove.
There are two main types of wood burning stoves.

Save money on your heating bills
As the price of oil and gas increase, wood burners are becoming a more viable primary heat source. With the proper planning and stove location you can now use a wood burner in that part of your home that you spend most time in. The option of oil or gas will still be there but you will simply use it less. Are tip to all our customers is to invest in heat where you spend your time.
Increase comfort level in your home
We all want to feel warm and comfortable in our homes. Today's range of modern wood burners are designed to push warm air throughout the living space. These stoves do this by means of thermostatic control on both the combustion air and warm convection air. This means that the stove continuously produces an even amount of heat during combustion.
Create a new focal point in your home
One thing all our customers agree on is that the installation of either a traditional or modern insert wood burner creates a new focal point in their homes. Stoves have the ability to create a new heart in your home, one which is surrounded by people on a more regular basis.
Enjoy the picture
A Common feature in all modern insert stoves is a large view of the fire itself. Even the smaller inserts still have a large proportion of glass that will afford a larger view of the flame picture. We all enjoy looking at and feeling the effect of a dancing flame.
