15 Gifts For Those Who Are The Best Woodburners Lover In Your Life

The Best Woodburners

The relaxation and blood pressure-reducing benefits of a wood stove have been documented. But what about the tiny sooty particles they release into the air?

New stoves are designed to comply with the EcoDesign directive. This means you can enjoy a warm, cozy home, and not break your environmental obligations.

1. Ekol Edge

The Ekol Edge wood burner is simple in appearance, yet does not sacrifice performance. It's a great option for those living in smoke controlled areas as it is certified with Level 5 ClearSkies certification which means it can be used with dry and seasoned outdoor wood burning stove and approved solid fuels. Its high heat output also makes it a great option for larger rooms and the huge fire glass offers a beautiful view of the flames.

It is made of modern steel, and therefore can be installed in both traditional inglenooks as well freestanding spaces. It comes with an air wash system that keeps the glass clear, and prevents soot accumulation. The stove is extremely efficiency during the winter months, which means that a high percentage of the heat it generates is transferring to your home instead of being lost to the chimney.

The criticism of wood burning stoves has grown, since it was shown that they may contribute to the creation of tiny sooty air particles referred to as PM2.5. These particles have been linked to lung and heart issues. However, newer models that are made to conform to the Eco design Regulations are much less likely to produce these particles. These are only a small part of the overall pollution produced by burning fossil fuels like coal and gas, but there is no doubt that wood burners are the main source of this pollution.

Selecting the appropriate wood for your stove is crucial to ensure the best heating and combustion. There are a variety of wood that can be used for burning such as eucalyptus, ash hazel, beech and hazel. Eucalyptus is fast-burning and also produces a lot heat, is a good option. However, it must be well-seasoned. Beech is a great choice, but it's difficult to work with due to its thorns.

The Ekol Adept is designed to meet the new regulations. It's cleared by ClearSkies and Defra, so you can use it as it is if you follow the guidelines. It's a powerful burner that's built to last, featuring sturdy construction and a 10-year body warranty, backed up by its incredibly impressive heating performance.

Wood-burning stoves can create a wonderful atmosphere in our homes regardless of whether they're good for our health. But, it's important to consider the effects of particulate matter and the way that burning wood or other forms of fuel can affect our indoor air quality and health. If you are installing a woodburner, it is recommended that you close the door when you are not working on the flame. It is also recommended to regularly clean the stove to ensure that the air as clean as it can be.
