The Best Woodburners

Wood burners are known to lower blood pressure and relax. But what about the tiny sooty particles they release into the air?

New stoves are designed to be compliant with the EcoDesign directive. This means you can enjoy a warm and cozy home, and not break your environmental obligations.

1. Ekol Edge

The Ekol Edge is a simple-looking wood burner that doesn't scrimp on performance. It's a fantastic choice for those who live in smoke-controlled areas, since it has ClearSkies Level 5 credentials. This means that it can be used to burn dry and seasoned wood logs or approved solid fuels. Its large heat output makes it an ideal choice for larger rooms and the huge fire glass offers a beautiful view of your flames.

It features a contemporary steel body, which means it can be installed into both traditional inglenooks and freestanding situations. It comes with an integrated air wash system that keeps the glass clean and avoids soot build-up. The stove is extremely efficient, meaning that it carries a large portion of the heat generated to your home instead of being directed up the chimney.

The recent criticism of wood burners has increased, because it was shown that they can contribute to the production of microscopic sooty air particles referred to as PM2.5. These particles have been linked to heart and lung problems. However, the latest models that comply with the Eco design Regulations are much less likely to create these particles. Wood burners contribute to the pollution created through the burning of fossil fuels such as coal and gas.

It is essential to choose the correct cheap wood burning stove for the stove to ensure the best heat output and combustion. There are many types of wood that can be used for burning such as eucalyptus, ash, hazel and beech. Eucalyptus is a great choice because it's fast-burning and offers a great deal of heat, but it must be seasoned. Beech is another great choice, but its vicious thorns make it difficult to handle without protective gloves.

The Ekol Adept has been designed to be able to withstand the imminent changes to regulations that were recently implemented, and it's Defra exempt and ClearSkies rated. This means you can use it with approved fuels, so long as you follow the guidelines.

2. Arada Holborn 5 Widescreen

In fact, some advocacy groups are calling for much more stricter restrictions and even a complete ban on stoves that burn wood, so it's worth checking out our guide on stove pollution and regulations prior to you shop for an updated log fire or multifuel burner.

One company which is trying to keep the popularity of woodburners up is Arada Stoves. They have recently launched a widescreen model of their renowned Holborn 5 Multifuel/Wood Burning stove.

However, it's important to consider the negative effects of particulate matter as well as how burning wood and other types of fuels can impact our indoor air quality and health. So, if you're planning to have a woodburner installed it is recommended you keep the door shut when you're not working on the fire, and clean out the stove to ensure the indoor air is as healthy as it can be.

It's enjoyable to watch the flames flicker, and it can help reduce blood pressure. But it's not all good news.
