If you measure your room in feet and multiply the width x height x depth and divide the result by 500 it will give you a guidline to the kW output needed to heat your room.
New generations of clean burning stoves are much more efficient than those of the past. Now as never before, we are in a position to minimise our own carbon footprint through our choice of heating appliance.
As trees grow, they absorb carbon dioxide and generate oxygen. Healthy trees in well managed forests absorb three times the carbon dioxide than that generated during combustion; so ensuring the firewood you use is from a sustainable, well managed source (like ours!) reduces the need to burn fossil fuels and, when used in an efficient stove, provides warmth and comfort in our homes without damaging our environment.
Indeed, burning wood harvested from a well managed source is carbon neutral - as whether it is burned as a fuel or whether it decays where it falls in the forest – the same amount of carbon dioxide is released into the atmosphere, and the carbon dioxide released through combustion is also the same as that which will be absorbed when the coppiced tree re-grows.

A pound of fuel will produce at least three times more heat when burned in a stove than when it is burned on an open fire.
In addition to this, a stove requires considerably less air in order to burn the fuel than does an open fire and so cold draughts are usually eliminated when a stove is fitted. An open fire will continue to suck warm air from the room as long as the room is warmer than air outside, and so all the heat produced by an evening fire is lost to the sky at night. Heat produced by other sources such as a night storage heater or radiators is also sucked up the chimney.
When these matters are taken into account, perhaps we can expect something like eight times more heat from a stove than an open fire. This means that not only can a stove heat the very largest rooms, the heat can also be expected to rise up stair wells and warm landings, travel through floors and take the chill off bedrooms. This heat will be absorbed into the walls which act as heat reservoirs.
In many cases a simple room-heating stove can go a long way to heating a whole cottage, or take a load off an existing central heating system in a sizeable house.
Heating with wood or solid fuel has few limitations; the limitations are our independence and how much we wish to reduce our reliance on the nuclear, oil and gas industries.
All our Firestorm stoves come with a 12 month warrenty.
Tar and other deposits will condense onto any cold surface inside a stove, especially when burning wood. This can leave a black/brown deposit on the window of the stove that blocks the view of the fire.
Our Firestorm stoves have air vents that direct a flow of air down across the glass which helps to stop tar being deposited on the glass, this can even burn off tar deposited earlier.
When wood burns most of the visible flames are in fact due to gases released by the hot wood. Inside the firebox of a stove the oxygen can quickly become used up and in the absence of oxygen some of these gases remain unburnt and exit up the chimney.
Our Firestorm cleanburning stoves introduce another supply of air into the firebox, preheated so as to maintain the firebox temperature. This supply of air is introduced to the firebox through a series of holes which result in jets of air entering the firebox - this means that the air and gases mix well and encourage more complete combustion.
Once your Firestorm stove is burning nice and hot you may see jets of burning gas hanging in the firebox where the supply of air enters resulting in a beautiful dancing flame display.
