Installing a log burning stove provides numerous benefits, including cost savings on heating bills, a sustainable and eco-friendly heating option, and the cosy ambiance of a real fire. Additionally, modern log burners are highly efficient and can significantly reduce your carbon footprint.

In most cases, you do not need planning permission to install a log burning stove. However, you will need to comply with building regulations and ensure the installation is carried out by a qualified professional. If you live in a listed building or a conservation area, additional permissions may be required.

Regular maintenance is essential for the safe and efficient operation of your log burning stove. We recommend having your chimney swept at least once a year and performing routine checks for any wear and tear. Cleaning the stove, including removing ash and checking seals, should be done regularly depending on usage.

The best types of wood for burning in a log stove are hardwoods such as oak, ash, and beech. These woods burn hotter and longer, providing more heat and value for your money. It's important to use well-seasoned wood with a moisture content below 20% to ensure efficient burning and reduce smoke and creosote build-up.

While a log burning stove is excellent for heating the room it is installed in, it may not be sufficient to heat your entire house. For whole-house heating, you might consider a stove with a boiler attachment that can be connected to your central heating system, or use additional heating solutions to supplement your stove.
