Modern Wood Burners

Modern wood burners blend elegant designs, efficient heating, contemporary wood burning stoves and ecological considerations. They're an excellent addition to any home and can be a backup source of heating in the event of a power outage.

They are more efficient at heating rooms than fireplaces and release substantially less harmful gases. However wood stoves can emit up to six times more particle pollution than a modern diesel car.

The Jotul F 305 LL

The Focus Grappus

The Focus Grappus is a wood burner that was created to showcase the fire, with the burning flames being the star of the show. While many double sided wood burner stoves tend to prize efficiency over appearance, the Focus design team have taken the opposite approach, with their sleek black designs that make the glowing flames the main attraction of your home. This has led to the fireplaces of the company becoming a part of the world's most prestigious interiors, and the recipient of 25 prestigious design awards.

The central feature of the Focus creation is a contemporary tall flame view window that is elevated on the opposite side of the flue with a sleek wood storage that gives a stunning visual harmony to the design. This tall flame view is the signature design of the Focus range, and it can also be tailored to your requirements, such as having the option of different sizes for flues and shapes, so you're bound to find a solution that will fit perfectly with your space.

The Grappus is a simple, modern design that is both striking and easy to use. Its unique shape makes it stand out from other contemporary wood burning stoves and its sleek lines will add a sophisticated finish to any room.

The Grappus can also be powered by natural gas or wood burning power. The insulating structure of the Grappus is composed of three different layers, with the middle layer being a glass barrier that guards against the heat from the flame. The outer layers are designed for the heat to be absorbed by the combustion process and dispersed evenly throughout the entire space. This will ensure a comfortable and efficient heating experience, and it also helps to reduce the effects of condensation on the interior of the glass.

The Grappus is the perfect mix of design and performance. It is available in an output of 3-8 kW when using wood and up to 5 kW when using gas. It's also EcoDesign compatible and is a great option for anyone seeking a stylish efficient, practical, and efficient wood burning stove.

The Round Stack

There are many different styles of wood stoves available on the market today. If you're looking for a stove that will add a rustic, earthy charm to your home, or one that is more contemporary and modern, there is bound to be a stove that meets your requirements. Modern stoves not only look stunning, but they also offer a more efficient alternative to traditional heating methods.

Properly stacking logs is essential when preparing them for burning in a stove. This will ensure that they remain dry and ready for burning. Airflow is essential for drying firewood, so leave space between logs and ensure that their ends are even. The logs can be dried and stored by keeping them in tarps or other structures.

The round stack method is a popular way to stack firewood. It is simple to use and looks stunning. Start by creating an initial base of three to four parallel rows of treated 2x4s or pallets. Then, construct the pillars at the end on top of the base by placing 3-4 pieces of wood next to each other, then place another piece on the opposite side, with more space at each end. Continue to build these pillars until the stack is 12 rows high, making sure that there is plenty of space between each one so that air can flow easily through the entire pile.

Make use of a center stake for stability. Begin by adding perpendicular pieces on the outside. Connect them using string in the middle. Repeat this process until you reach the height you want for your wall. Then, you can fill in the inside with oddball pieces or those which are too large for the outer rows. Indoor stacking requires a space with a good airflow and plenty of sunlight. Overcrowding could result in damp and spongy wood. The best indoor space for stacking is usually garages or basements.

The Short Penguin Eco

The Short Penguin Eco by Chilli Penguin is a wonderful example of a wood burner that is environmentally friendly. Its sleek lines and sturdy construction make it a fantastic choice for those who prefer more traditional styles or modern homes. The 5kw multi-fuel stove can burn both smokeless and wood fuel. It has a huge ceramic window so you can watch the flames dance. It also has an oven so you can cook food on it or boil water for hot beverages.

The stove is equipped with three innovative clean burn features to achieve low emissions and more than 80% efficiency. They include secondary heat retaining glazing as well as combustion air jets and air flow diversion. The result is a highly efficient stove that can be employed in smoke control zones.

This stove is one of the smallest models in the domestic range. It can be mounted on the wall with the plinth or log store. The design is contemporary and clean with stainless steel handles. This is a stove that you'll be happy to have in your home.

Another effective way to reduce your carbon footprint is to use kiln dried or seasoned wood. This wood has been dried to less than 20% moisture, which reduces the amount of smoke that is produced when it is roasted. It is important to keep in mind that even with a highly efficient wood burning stove you could still generate an enormous amount of carbon dioxide if you aren't careful.
