The Best Woodburners The relaxing, blood pressure-reducing benefits of a wood stove have been well-documented. But what about the tiny sooty particles that they release into the air? Luckily, new stoves are built with the EcoDesign directive in the back of your mind. You can enjoy cozy and warm home without breaking your environmental obligations. 1. Ekol Edge The Ekol Edge is a simple-looking wood burner that doesn't compromise on performance. It's a great choice for those living in areas with smoke restrictions since it comes with Level 5 ClearSkies credentials that means it can be used with dry and seasoned logs and approved solid fuels. Its high heat output also makes it a good choice for larger rooms and the large fire glass offers a beautiful view of your flames. It features a contemporary steel body which means it can be used in both traditional inglenooks as well as freestanding spaces. It has an integrated air wash system, which keeps the glass clean and prevents the build-up of soot. The stove is extremely efficiency during the winter months, which means that a large portion of the heat it generates is transferring to your home instead of being lost up the chimney. Recent criticism of wood burners has increased, because it was discovered that they may contribute to the creation of tiny sooty air particles known as PM2.5. These particles have been linked to heart and lung issues. However, the latest models that are made to meet the Eco design Regulations are much less likely to generate these particles. Wood burning stoves contribute to the pollution produced from burning fossil fuels, like gas and coal. Choosing the right wood for your stove is crucial to ensure optimal heat output and combustion. There are a variety of wood that can be burned in your stove, including eucalyptus hazel, beech, and hazel. Eucalyptus, which is quick-burning, but also offers lots of heat, is a great choice. However, it must be well-seasoned. Beech is also a great option, but it's difficult to manage due to its thorns. The Ekol Adept has been designed to handle the upcoming changes in regulations that were recently implemented as well as being Defra exempt and ClearSkies rated, which means you can use it with approved fuels, provided you adhere to the guidelines. It's a robust burner designed to last, with a robust construction and 10-Year body warranty, which is supported by its impressive heating performance. 2. Arada Holborn 5 Widescreen Wood burning stoves continue to be popular despite the confusing directives that surround them.
