The earliest homes were built around wood stoves, which provided a central heating source that doesn't have any effect on your electricity bill. Modern stoves are designed to be a stylish and practical addition to any home.
This DEFRA-approved modern wood burning stove features a contemporary design and an efficient combustion system that is ultra-green. It is rated with an A+ energy rating mark and can power up to 5kW priced at PS1,900.
How They Work
Wood stoves are an excellent way to heat your home. They can be used as a primary or supporting heating source, and they can add a touch of style that can make any room feel more comfortable and inviting. The wood burning stoves create a controlled space that allows the fire to be more efficient in burning and generate heat.
This is accomplished by directing air into the fire. This helps control how quickly and efficiently the fire is burning. This is a major factor in the overall efficiency of a wood stove, as a fire that smolders for too long will lose energy and heat to the atmosphere. Modern wood stoves are designed to help reduce this by directing air into the firebox from several different places to ensure that the fire is burning in a proper manner.
Many modern wood stoves use a catalytic combustor to aid in getting the most efficient performance. It is a piece made of metal typically in a circular shape, that is placed at the top of the wood stove where the flue pipe is attached. It looks a lot like honeycombs made of metal and has pores in which the combustion gases released by the wood are deposited. These gases are then burnt again at lower temperatures to release more heat.
Other features that are found in many modern wood stoves include air bypass chambers, which are large flaps that are located in the interior of the firebox that can be opened to redirect flue gases around the catalyst at the time of starting. This allows the fire to be started more easily and can limit some of the initial soot buildup on the catalytic surface. This feature is present in both new and old stoves, and can increase the heating efficiency of wood stoves.
Convection Chambers
Wood stoves are the perfect accessory to any outdoor living space, no matter if you live in a rustic log cabin or in a prefabricated tiny home. These well-established heating appliances not only provide ambiance and warmth to your living space, but they also offer an alternative to fossil fuels. Here's how.
Modern wood stoves are extremely efficient in energy use thanks to the advancement of technology. The skin on the second side creates air pockets right around the "firebox" or main compartment. The cool air that surrounds it is drawn into these pockets, then released out of the top of your stove when heated, warming the surrounding room more quickly and efficiently.
Many modern wood stoves are constructed from sheet iron, a substance that heats and cools quickly and is more malleable than cast iron. This enables the construction of a more durable, sleek and aesthetically pleasing stove that is ideal for modern homes. Sheet iron is also more environment green than casting iron because it emits fewer harmful emissions.
If you are looking to buy a new wood stove, be sure that it is EPA-certified and catalytic. This kind of stove burns more evenly and produces less pollutants than non-catalytic stoves. The longer the fire burns, the less wood you'll use.

Some modern stoves include a second skin that creates pockets of hot air directly around the fire, allowing heated air to warm surrounding spaces more quickly and efficiently than other types of fireplaces or wood-burning heaters.
