Frequently Asked Questions

 

A STOVE CAN BE A COOKER OR A SOLID FUEL BURNER. THE WORD STOVE MEANS ENCLOSED SPACE FOR BURNING FUEL. WHEN YOU LOOK AT OUR WEB SITE WE CALL WOOD AND MULTIFUEL BURNERS, STOVES. THE COOKERS ARE CALLED RANGES.

IT DEPENDS ON THE CONDITION OF YOUR CHIMNEY. YOU WOULD NEED A SURVEY CARRIED OUT.

NO, A GAS LINER CANNOT WITHSTAND THE HEAT FROM A SOLID FUEL STOVE.

THIS WILL ALL DEPEND ON THE STOVE YOU HAVE CHOSEN AND THE AMOUNT OF WORK THAT IS NEEDED TO ACHIVE YOUR REQUIREMENTS.

IT WILL HAVE ALOT TO DO WITH YOUR NEEDS, THE SIZE OF THE ROOM AND IF YOU ARE PLANNING ON RUNNING THE CENTRAL HEATING AT THE SAME TIME. STOVES ARE MEASURED FOR HEAT IN KILO WATTS. THE LARGER THE KW THE MORE HEAT THE STOVE PRODUCES. IT WILL ALSO DEPEND ON HOW MANY DOORS AND WINDOWS YOU HAVE AND THEIR SIZES AND ALSO HOW MANY OUTSIDE WALLS ARE INCLUDED IN THE ROOM.

CAST TAKES LONGER TO HEAT UP BUT WILL RETAIN THE HEAT FOR LONGER.

STEEL HEATS UP QUICKER BUT COOLS DOWN QUICKER AS WELL. ALSO THE STEEL HEAT WILL DROP WHEN A LOG IS FIRST BURNT.

WOOD BURNS FROM AIR ABOVE AND COAL BURNS FROM THE AIR BENEATH. WITH THIS IN MIND THAT IS WHY A MULTIFUEL STOVE WOULD HAVE A RIDDLING GRATE AT THE BOTTOM OF THE STOVE.

THIS WOULD DEPEND ON WHERE YOU WANT THE STOVE SITUATED. YOU CAN, DEPENDING ON VARIOUS POINTS. THESE ARE A FEW THINGS TO CONSIDER: IS IT AN OUTSIDE WALL THAT YOU ARE WANTING THE STOVE NEXT TO. IS THERE ANYTHING THE OTHER SIDE OF THE WALL? IS IT A HOUSE OR A BUNGALOW? ARE THERE ANY TALL BUILDINGS OR TREES ETC SURROUNDING YOUR HOUSE? THERE ARE ALOT OF THINGS TO CONSIDER SO THE BEST THING FOR YOU TO DO IS ARRANGE A SURVEY, FREE OF CHARGE BY CONTACTING US.

ANY STOVE ABOVE 5KW WILL NEED AN AIR BRICK INSTALLED INTO THE ROOM THAT YOU INTEND TO USE FOR YOUR APPLIANCE.
