The Rise in Popularity of Wood Burning Stoves

Wood burning stoves have seen an incredible rise in popularity over recent years. This is due in part to the rising costs of other forms of heating and fuel, in part due to their ever-increasing environmentally friendly attributes and in part because of the warm and cosy feeling a wood burner offers that you just cannot get from conventional heating. There is a certain magic about watching a fire glow and flicker in your wood burning stove as you snuggle up for a cosy evening… Nothing else quite compares to this feeling.

Traditional forms of heating in the UK have always been gas, electric and oil but these sources of heat are becoming increasingly expensive with global instability, dwindling natural resources and global recession. Burning wood has proved to be a more economical resource for many families across the UK looking to reduce their spend on heating. Even with the initial costs of buying and installing a wood burning stove, you can very quickly make savings and your log burner will last you for years.

On top of this, with natural resources dwindling, the UK government is encouraging use of biomass fuel such as wood and paper from renewable sources as more environmentally sound alternatives to traditional methods of heating. Eco fuel is by far the most efficient and environmentally friendly way of heating your home, made from waste wood products and manufactured to burn efficiently and not leave much waste product as ash.
