Credit Crunch drives popularity of Wood Burning Stoves

A pound of fuel will produce at least <strong>three times more heat</strong when burned in a stove than when it is burned on an open fire. Additionall, a stove requiresmuch less air in order to burn the fuel than  an open fire and so cold draughts are usually eliminated when a stove is fitted. An open fire will continue to suck warm air from the room as long as the room is warmer than air outside, and so all the heat produced by an evening fire is lost to the sky at night. Heat produced by other sources such as a night storage heater or radiators is also sucked up the chimney. Taking these factors into account, we can expect something like eight times more heat from a stove than an open fire. This means that not only can a stove heat the very largest rooms, the heat can also be expected to rise up stair wells and warm landings, travel through floors and take the chill off bedrooms. This heat will be absorbed into the walls which act as heat reservoirs. In many cases a simple room-heating stove can go a long way to heating a whole cottage, or take a load off an existing central heating system in a sizeable house. Heating with wood or solid fuel has few limitations. <strong>Fuel</strong> Wood, whether hard or soft, is an excellent fuel and by far the cheapest commonly available. Ideally wood should be burned with a moisture content below 20%. A small stove will burn 3 to 4 tons, larger stoves 5 to 6 tons and central heating boilers (50,000 to 75,000 BTU) can burn 10-15 tons per season in average use. Wood, when burned in a modern stove, is clean, economical, good for the garden (the ashes) and above all it is a renewable resource. Fuels such as peat, or compressed paper, straw, or wood waste can be burned in most wood-stoves. As long as they have a very low moisture content, they burn very hot. They can be mixed with logs, but do not overfill the stove . Coal or solid fuel may also be considered as convenience fuels, in that they are compact and no storage is required. Though considerably more expensive than wood, its high density means a small stove can be operated on as little as a one cwt. bag full a week. This is far cheaper than economy 7 or bottled gas and there are no transmission losses, pipelines or nuclear waste. <strong>Multi-Fuel Stoves</strong> Traditionally wood-stoves have been long airtight boxes that burned wood on a bed of ash, using air from above the fire. Coal stoves had tall, cylindrical fireboxes with air travelling up through a grate and the fire. Two very different configurations. The majority of stoves on the UK market have started life as either a wood-stove, to which a grate has later been added in order to call it a multi-fuel stove, or a coal stove that is large enough to burn wood reasonably well. Very much a compromise, especially when they may have not been particularly efficient originally.
