WOOD BURNING STOVES are as popular as ever and still our favourite technology. Everybody loves a fire and as human beings we’ve sat round a camp fire every night for the last 2 million years proving wood to be the ultimate sustainable material. A fire naturally makes us feel warm, cosy, safe and relaxed. Wood burning stoves are three times more efficient than an open fire, you don’t lose heat up the chimney when they’re not on and stoves are safe to leave un-attended.

Today’s regulations insist that stoves are very efficient and clean burning with all the best manufacturers viewing these as a base standard going beyond expectations. A good stove, installed properly, burning dry wood can easily provide 20 - 25% of the average home’s heating and is cheaper to run than gas (and oil). Wood is carbon neutral as it releases the same amount when burnt as rotting on the forest floor. Obviously we are very lucky to be based in Surrey and especially in the Surrey Hills with an abundance of wood. Using a carbon neutral, locally sourced, often waste product and sometimes free fuel to heat your home makes perfect sense to us
