Wood-burning stoves could account for 10% of the UK Government’s carbon reduction targets by 2020, according to a UK-based trade body.
The Stove Industry Alliance (SIA) said that wood-burning stoves also have the potential to produce 25% of the government’s domestic renewable heat energy target by 2020.
According to the trade body, wood-burning stoves have experienced a huge upsurge in popularity over the past decade.
More than one million UK homes are already using wood-burning stoves and fireplaces, and annual UK sales of more than 200,000 units. Read more

Last winter, we spent our weekends alternately freezing, coaxing a reluctant fire alight, opening all the doors to let the smoke out, freezing, and finally giving in and turning on the electric heater. Our house stank of charred logs and wood smoke. The grate was a sad black hole. And it was cold, despite the central heating. Read more

Over the last 2 years wood burning stove sales have increased significantly, but the last 12 months has seen exceptional growth. Retailers all over the Country are reporting increased sales and we at Kent Stoves can confirm these findings.
The reasons for the growth is purely down to increasing oil and gas prices and when you think a stove radiates five times the heat of a regular fireplace it’s little wonder why. Read more

Each unit uses wood as the fuel source, which is easy to come by and relatively inexpensive when bought, but there are major differences in the efficiency levels of fireplaces and stoves. Wood fireplaces are best used to heat a single room because during combustion, a fireplace takes in air from inside your home and may bring it in from outside to send smoke and CO up the chimney. This can bring a draft through the house, so you benefit from less of the fire’s heat. A stove, on the other hand, is potentially 50% more energy efficient and uses a third less wood for the equivalent heat output. Read more

Buying a wood-burning stove is a relatively big decision, but besides the potential money-saving aspect, their legions of fans swear by the cosy feeling that one brings to a home. Not getting all romantic about it, we are drawn to an open fire and the there’s a different feel to wood-burning than there is to oil or gas.
Wood burning stoves have enjoyed a huge surge in popularity of late, becoming a must-have addition for chic homes and certainly, there’s a lot to love about them. They look great and, in addition to being a design focal point in any room, they run at an 80pc efficiency, which means lower fuel bills. Read more

A wood burning stove can be a great focal point in your living room, creating a warm, cosy feel. It can also be a practical way to cut or avoid rising heating bills – a recent survey of 1,000 stove owners showed 74% believe getting a stove had saved them money on fuel costs. If you can source a good wood supply at a low price the savings you can make on your heating bills will be very beneficial. One of our clients from last year said “we installed our burner last October and the savings we made on our heating costs were substantial”. “We found a local supplier of matured logs at a good price and the savings followed”.

Is your stove delivering maximum efficiency?
The far higher efficiency delivered by advanced certified stoves is definitely relevant in day-to-day use. On average, the new stoves are about one-third more efficient than the old box, pot belly, or step stoves of yesteryear.
That’s one-third less cost if you buy firewood, or one-third less cutting, hauling and stacking if you cut your own. Read more

A great green heating solution with renewable fuel source
The “green aspect” of using a renewable source of heating in your home hardly needs explanation. Our Wood burning Stoves use Wood because it’s an easily obtained renewable fuel source. There’s a zero-sum impact in carbon emission as well. When a tree falls in the woods and takes 50 years to completely rot away, ever so slowly it gives off heat, water and CO2, and leaves its mineral content in the forest.
When you burn wood the exact same thing happens only obviously much more quickly. No additional by-products are produced at all, basically replicating natures actions at a greater pace. Read more

Saving money?
Most people don’t get a wood burning stove for the cost benefits. Although there might be some saving in terms of money and carbon emissions, stoves are mostly attractive because they are cosy and homely. The best way to save money with a stove is to source your fuel as cheaply as possible – you may find that a local tree surgeon can help you with this.
