How do I choose the right stove for my home?
Choosing the right stove involves several factors:
- The size of the space you want to heat
- The desired heat output (kW)
- Whether you want wood-burning, pellet, or hybrid solutions
- Available chimney or venting options
We recommend contacting our experts for a personalised recommendation based on your home specifications.
How do wood stoves differ from pellet stoves?
Wood stoves burn logs and require manual fuel loading and tending, while pellet stoves use compressed wood pellets and often include automated feeding systems. Pellet stoves generally offer more consistent heat and easier operation, whereas wood stoves give a traditional burning experience.
How much does shipping cost?
Shipping is calculated based on your location and the items in your order. You will always know the shipping price before you purchase.
Installation & Safety
Can I install the stove myself?
For safety and warranty reasons, we strongly recommend professional installation. Proper installation ensures correct venting, safe clearances, compliance with local building codes and efficient operation.
Do I need a chimney or flue?
Yes. Wood and pellet stoves must be connected to an appropriate chimney or flue system to safely vent smoke and combustion gases outside the home. Pellet stoves also require an electrical supply for fans and controls.
Can I install a pellet stove without a chimney?
No. Pellet stoves must be connected to a proper venting system. Installing a stove without a flue or chimney is unsafe and non-compliant.
Can two stoves share the same chimney?
No, regulations require that each stove or appliance has its own dedicated flue or chimney connection. Sharing can be dangerous and does not meet standard installation codes.
What safety clearances do I need around my stove?
Clearances vary by model but generally require:
- Minimum space to combustible walls
- Proper hearth or floor protection
- Stable, non-combustible installation surface
Specific clearance requirements are listed in each product’s installation manual.
Do I need permits or inspections?
Depending on your country or municipality within the EU, a building permit or inspection may be required for stove installation. Check with your local authority or installer.
Operation & Maintenance
How often should I clean my stove?
Maintenance frequency varies by model and usage. For pellet stoves, you typically need to empty the ash pan every few days or weekly. Wood stove chimneys should be inspected and swept regularly to prevent creosote build-up.
Why does the glass on my stove get dirty?
Glass dirtiness can result from incomplete combustion or cool glass temperatures. Proper fuel quality and correct air settings help minimize buildup. Cleaning intervals depend on use and fuel type.
How do I start a pellet stove?
Pellet stoves usually have an automatic ignition when switched on. If manual start is required, add pellets to the hopper and follow the user manual instructions.
What pellets should I use?
Use high-quality wood pellets with recognised certifications (e.g., EN Plus, DIN Plus) to ensure efficient, clean burning and lower maintenance.
How often do I need to refill a pellet stove?
A typical pellet stove will be refilled every 24–48 hours depending on heat output and hopper size. Higher settings consume pellets faster.
Is there ash or soot?
Pellet stoves burn efficiently, producing minimal ash compared to traditional wood fires. Ash pans still need periodic emptying. Wood stoves will produce more residue and require frequent cleaning.
Fuel & Efficiency
Are wood pellets more economical than other fuels?
Wood pellets can be cost-effective compared to electricity or fossil fuels due to their high efficiency and stable pricing in many markets, though the exact savings depend on local fuel costs.
What affects stove efficiency?
Stove efficiency depends on insulation, stove size relative to room, chimney draft, and fuel quality. Proper installation ensures optimal performance.
