When you look to buy a wood burning stove, there are a few points to consider first to ensure this is the right decision for you.
Buy A Wood Burning Stove
The first decision you must make is whether you would like to burn solid fuels such as logs, smokeless fuels and anthracite or would you prefer to have the ‘switch on’ convenience of coal or log effects using gas or electricity.
If the stove is to be your prime source of heating for a room then you will need around 1kW of heat for each 14 cu.m. of volume.
Choose a wood burning stove
Most logs will burn best on a flat bed of ash, with air for combustion coming from above.
Coal and smokeless fuels burn best on a grate, with air entering from beneath the fire and cinders dropping into an ashpan below.
Wood burning-only models, therefore, have flat fuel beds whilst multi fuel models incorporate grates, but the latter are also designed to allow you to develop a bed of ash upon which to burn logs should you wish.
JR Contracts can install a wide choice of traditional and contemporary models to suit most rooms and homes, including those with special integral boilers to run radiators or provide domestic hot water.
