The Best Woodburners Wood burners are believed to reduce blood pressure and help relax. What do you think of the tiny particles of soot released by the wood burners? Fortunately, the latest stoves are designed with the EcoDesign directive in mind. You can have cozy and warm home without compromising on your environmental commitments. 1. Ekol Edge The Ekol Edge wood burner is simple in appearance, but does not sacrifice performance. It's a great choice for those living in areas with smoke restrictions since it comes with the Level 5 ClearSkies certification, which means it can be used with dry and seasoned logs and approved solid fuels. Its high heat output makes it a fantastic choice for large rooms. The huge fire glass also permits you to enjoy the flames. It has a modern steel body, which means it can be incorporated into traditional inglenooks and freestanding areas. It comes with an air wash system that keeps the glass clear, and prevents soot accumulation. The stove is highly efficient, which means that it carries a large portion of the heat generated to your home instead of being directed up the chimney. Wood burners have come under some criticism in recent times, as it has been proven that they contribute to tiny sooty particles in the air called PM2.5 that has been linked with lung and heart problems. However, newer models that are made to conform to the Eco design Regulations are much less likely to generate these particles. They are just a small part of the total pollution created by burning fossil fuels like coal and gas, but there is no doubt that wood stoves are the main source of this pollution. Choosing the right wood for your stove is essential to ensure the highest combustion and heat output. There are a variety of wood types that can be employed, including eucalyptus and ash. Eucalyptus, which is fast-burning but also provides lots of heat, is a good option. However, it needs to be well-seasoned. Beech is a great choice, but it's difficult to manage due to its thorns. The Ekol Adept has been designed to handle the upcoming changes to regulations that have been put in place as well as being Defra exempt and ClearSkies certified, which means that you can use it with approved fuels, provided you adhere to the guidelines. It's a heavy-duty burner that's built to last, with a robust construction and 10-Year body warranty, backed up by its incredibly impressive heating performance. 2. Arada Holborn 5 Widescreen Wood burning stoves are still extremely popular, and despite the directive muddle that surrounds them, they're not going anywhere. In fact, some campaign groups are calling for much more stricter restrictions and even a ban on log burners, so it's worth taking a look at our guide to stove pollution and regulations before you go shopping for an updated log fire or multifuel burner. One company that is making an effort to keep the popularity of woodburners up is Arada Stoves. They have recently released a widescreen version of their popular Holborn 5 Multifuel/Wood Burning stove. It's an DEFRA approved, SIA 2022 Ecodesign Ready woodburner that has a large glass door that offers the best flame image. It also has an airwash system which prevents the accumulation of soot. With double sided wood burner of 4.9kW, this is a great stove for most rooms and it's also extremely easy to maintain and use. The curving lines and classic design make it suitable for both modern or traditional decor. This model is easily placed in smaller recesses due to its flat back design. It is also easy to install direct air systems with this model, which will improve the efficiency. The stove also comes with an ash dump built-in that makes it simple to clear ashes and clean them regularly. This helps reduce the risk of odours and dust escaping the room. There are two kinds of flue adaptors according to the chimney type you have. It is also available with a wireless remote control. Wood-burning stoves can create a wonderful atmosphere in our homes regardless of whether or not they are healthy for us. It's important to consider the health risks of indoor air pollution and particulate matter. So, if you're going to install a woodburner it is recommended that you keep the door shut when you're not in the vicinity of the fire and regularly clean the stove to ensure the indoor air is as healthy as it can be. 3. Go Eco 5kW Plus It's soothing watching the flames flicker and can reduce blood pressure. However, it's not all positive news. Research has shown that older stoves are harmful due to the tiny particles of soot that could be absorbed into your respiratory system. New regulations have been enacted to ensure that stoves are up to the highest standards. This will reduce creosote and smoke leakage and more important, harmful gases such as carbon monoxide. New woodburners must meet a new safety standard. The Go Eco 5kW Plus is a multi-fuel stove that meets, but exceeds these new standards, but also exceeds them. It has a large, clear view window that provides a great flame view, and is kept clean with the power of an air wash system. The stove boasts an impressive 80% efficiency rating. It's DEFRA exempt, meaning that it is able to be used in smoke-free areas. It is also SIA Ecodesign-ready, meaning it already meets European emission limits for wood burning stoves that will be in effect in 2022. As if that weren't enough, the stove comes with an air venting kit that is included making it simpler than ever before to set up. It's a robust little appliance constructed with high-quality steel. The finish is a classic matte black. It's easy-to-clean as the body has been coated with an enamel that wards off dirt. This stove comes with an clearSkies label, which means that it was independently tested and verified as environmentally friendly and efficient. This goes above and beyond the fundamental requirements of Ecodesign. It's one of the few stoves that have the full five star clearSkies rating, so you can be sure that this woodburner is as efficient as it gets. 4. Chilli Penguin Defrost Chilli Penguin is a feisty Welsh wood burner manufacturer with a unique style that should not be missed out on. They specialise in small do-it-all multi-fuel stoves, which have earned them cult status thanks to their low flue-draught requirements hotplate tops and integral ovens as well as a variety of sizes and features. This 4.7kW model is a perfect example of their brand focus and also demonstrates that they can still provide an excellent product at a price that isn't too costly. This DEFRA approved woodburner is able to be used in Smoke Control Areas and is fully conforming to the current emission limit of 5g/hr. It also has level five ClearSkies certification.
