A Small Wood Burner Brings Warmth and Character to Your Living Space A small wood stove can give warmth and character to any room. It can be used to cook, particularly if you select one with a stovetop option. If the draft is decreased, larger wood stoves produce more creosote and burn slower. The Louis stove is specially designed to be lightweight and suitable for yurts, caravans or shepherds' huts. boats, or vans. Cooking One of the benefits of owning a small wood stove is cooking it. It can give you a genuine sense of pride, satisfaction and care, as well as an opportunity to get away from the fast-paced nature of our lives for a few minutes. Planning is essential when cooking on a stove made of logs. Plan ahead and select recipes that don't require high heat. Soups, stews and casseroles are all good choices. Charnwood log burner accessories are also worth investing in. The wood stove cooker plate replaces the blanking plates on the top of your stove, creating a hotplate that is perfect to heat your kettle. The best way to make sure that your stove is in working condition, and capable of cooking at the right temperature, is to select the highest quality, well-seasoned wood. This will lessen the build-up of creosote which can cause problems with chimneys if they are not properly burned. Hardwoods such as oak and ash, are advised for their ability to create long coals that release lower levels of heat over time. Baffles on stoves can be opened and closed to regulate the flow of air around the fire, which can help to optimise combustion and create a flame that is capable of supplying the right amount of heat to both toasting bread and slow simmering of soups and casseroles. It is a good idea to learn about your stove and experiment with opening the baffles and closing them at different times to find out what settings provide the best results for each specific task. A trivet is also a great idea. It's made to sit on your stove. This will prevent the kettle from drying out when you leave the stove. This is a common error made when using log burners for the first time! It's also recommended to purchase a stovetop kettle that has whistles built-in, which can be very beneficial for those who like a quick cup of coffee or tea. Warmth Wood-burning stoves provide a great source of heat. They not only heat your home, but they also contribute to a healthy and sustainable energy supply. Burning wood reduces electricity demand when the grid is the busiest and can lower the cost of electricity for everyone! You can also put in a stove to heat a hot water supply for your taps and radiators. This is ideal for those who have a small home or narrowboat, but do not have enough space to store a water heating unit. Another way to make use of a wood stove is to cook on it! There are a variety of wood stoves with a flat top, ideal for heating pots and pans. It can be used to cook, fry or steam, or roast. Make sure that your stove is able to burn the fuel you are planning to use and is safe to use it. Make sure your wood stove is clean. This will stop the dangerous creosote from building up and also keep the flames in view. It is a good idea to clean any ash from the grate regularly. It is important to make sure you are using clean, well-seasoned wood. This will help you achieve the most efficient and safest burn possible and also reduce pollution in the air. Ideally the firewood you use should have been cut and split and stacked in a well-ventilated space for at least 12 months before you bring it inside to use. You can also buy kiln-dried logs that have been cut, packaged and easy to store and transport. It is also important to ensure that your wood stove is correctly sized to fit the space you want to put it in. A stove that is too big will result in smaller fires, which will create more creosote. This can reduce the amount heat produced. A small wood burning stove can be able to heat 500 square feet while a large wood burning stove can heat up to 1,000 square feet and an extra large wood stove can provide heat to 2,200 square feet.

Some may require longer seasoning. Installation Having a wood burner installed in your kitchen is a great idea to give it a feeling of warmth and personality. A small stove will also lower your energy costs since you won't need to heat the entire house. If you're considering installing a stove, it's worth booking a site visit with a local HETAS installer. This will enable them to fully assess the fireplace area and provide you with an accurate estimate. It's not just the stove price that you need to consider as well as the amount of prep work and extras are required at home. There's plenty to consider and it's essential to choose an expert who is qualified for the job. As part of the installation, you may have to install a chimney liner. Chimney liners prevent harmful smoke and gasses from escaping through the cracks in the chimney brickwork and contaminating the air in your home. Installing one prior to installing your stove is a good idea particularly if you live in an older home. Installing a stove into an area that does not have a chimney will require the use of a twin-wall flue system. This will result in a chimney that is safe for smoke and fumes to escape. A twin wall flue system can run through your home and exit through the roof, or it could be run externally along the side of the building. The latter is more economical and involves less internal work, however it could be less well-insulated. Also, you'll need a hearth constructed for the stove to sit on. It can be constructed from any non-combustible material, but it is recommended to choose something that will be easily cleaned. You'll require a cowl and an lining for the flue to protect.
