Wood Burning & Multi-Fuel Stoves

There's something deeply satisfying about the warmth and ambience of a real fire. Our collection of premium cast iron stoves brings this timeless pleasure into modern homes, combining traditional craftsmanship with contemporary efficiency standards.

Why Choose a Cast Iron Stove?

• Radiant Warmth - The gentle, penetrating heat of a real fire warms both body and soul
• Atmosphere - The sight and sound of dancing flames creates incomparable ambience
• Efficiency - Modern stoves convert fuel to heat far more efficiently than open fires
• Independence - Wood and solid fuel heating provides security during power outages
• Sustainability - Properly sourced wood is a renewable, carbon-neutral fuel

Types of Stoves

Wood Burning Stoves

Dedicated wood burners optimise combustion specifically for logs, typically featuring air wash systems that keep the glass clean and secondary combustion chambers that burn off gases for maximum efficiency.

The Woodsure certification scheme helps identify quality firewood suppliers, ensuring your stove operates at peak efficiency with properly seasoned fuel.

In England, Ready to Burn rules require wood sold in volumes under 2 cubic metres to be certified at 20% moisture or less, with the logo, supplier's name and certification number displayed.

Multi-Fuel Stoves

Multi-fuel stoves include a riddling grate that allows ash to fall through, enabling the burning of smokeless fuels alongside wood. This versatility proves valuable where wood supply is uncertain or for those who prefer the convenience of manufactured fuels.

Smoke Exempt Stoves

Stoves certified as smoke exempt under DEFRA regulations can legally burn wood in smoke control areas. These models meet strict emission standards, making environmentally responsible heating accessible to urban households.

GOV.UK lists England penalties up to £300 for chimney smoke and fines up to £1,000 for buying unauthorised fuel for non-exempt appliances in smoke control areas.

Defra's 2026 consultation proposed tighter limits for new stoves and mandatory labelling; installed stoves would be unaffected. Before choosing a model, read how smoke control areas and exempt appliances work where you live.

Choosing the Right Size

Stove output is measured in kilowatts (kW), and selecting the appropriate size is crucial:

• 4-6 kW - Suitable for small to medium rooms
• 6-8 kW - Medium rooms with average insulation
• 8-12 kW - Larger rooms, open-plan spaces

Wellbeing and the Real Fire Experience

Beyond heating efficiency, growing evidence suggests that the presence of a real fire contributes positively to mental wellbeing. The rhythmic flicker of flames and the gentle crackle of burning wood have been shown to lower blood pressure and reduce stress levels. For many households, a wood burning stove transforms a living space into a genuine retreat, encouraging relaxation and quality time away from screens.

Installation Considerations

Proper installation is essential for safety and performance. Key considerations include flue requirements, hearth specifications, air supply, and building regulations compliance.
