Woodburning & Multi-Fuel Stoves
Cast iron multi-fuel & wood burning stoves are an increasingly popular method of generating heat for the home. In addition to being environmentally friendly, particularly when used with sustainably sourced fuel, they bring a great deal of character to any room. Our stoves are cast in heavy duty iron and finished to a very high specification.
Installation
As our focus is on achieving value by importing a wide range of cast iron products, we do not carry out installations of wood stoves or provide extensive technical advice.
Whilst each stove is supplied with instructions, it is imperative that installation is carried out by an experienced and reputable team. Most problems that occur following the use of newly fitted stoves arise from incorrect fitting, such as inadequate air supply and incorrectly sealed flue systems. As such, the onus to provide ongoing guidance lies very much with the installation team.
Flue
This boiler is not supplied with a flue. Correct flue installation is vital for the efficient and safe operation of this stove internally and should be carried out by a suitably qualified team. The flue outlets positioned and the top and rear of this stove are 132mm (internal diameter).
Boiler
This model is fitted with an integrated back boiler capable of supplying around 9kw or 30,000 BTU. In addition to providing hot water to your system, this would typically be sufficient to run at least 4 radiators. This does, however, depends on their individual BTU ratings and requires careful calculation. The four connections for the water supply and radiators are standard at 1’’.
Fuel
The term ‘Multi-Fuel’ refers to any of the main commercially available solid fuels such as coal, wood, turf, anthracite and briquettes. Never use liquid fuels such as oil or kerosene when lighting or refreshing this fire.
The maximum output of this stove is a powerful 9KW for water, with an accompanying 6KW for heat.
The approximate calorific (heat) value of the most common fuels is:
Turf or Peat: 4.0 kWh/kg
Briquettes: 5.3 kWh/kg
Wood: 5.5 kWh/kg (based on dry hard wood)
Brown Coal Nuggets: 5.8 kWh/kg
Standard Coal: 7.9kWh/kg
Initial Operation
To prevent cracking, you should begin using your stove by lighting small fires which get progressively bigger. We recommend a series of about 5 small fires before you put the stove into full service. Allow the stove to fully cool between each of these fires.
Maintenance
The exterior of our stoves should only be cleaned using a non abrasive damp cloth, as some cleaning products may leave stains on the surface. Should you wish to fully restore the finish, a good quality, high temperature stove paint can simply be used, (such as those supplied by Hotspot).
The interior is also easy to maintain, with this model featuring a removable ash pan and a raised burning grill fitted with a shaker grate to remove ash from the firebox.
The stoves ‘Advanced Airwash’ system will generally keep the Schott glass clean by forcing hot air over its surface. If, however, airflow is restricted or damp wood is used, the glass may blacken.
Whilst the build up will normally burn off when a hot fire is established, you can clean the glass using a soft cloth and non-abrasive cleaner, (when the stove is cold).
Overnight Burning
You stove is designed to allow overnight burning. Simply place a good fuel bed into the stove and allow it to burn for about 15 minutes before closing the secondary air supply at the top of the door. The primary inlet should then be left only minimally open. We initially suggest half a turn, but burn times depend on a number of factors, so experiment over a few nights until the desired burn is achieved.
Eco-Friendly Burning
In order to burn fuel, your stove needs air. Many stoves on the market only feature an inlet for the primary air required for initial burning, (see the spin valves at the base of the door on this model). Ours, however, also feature inlets for secondary air above the glass. This critically aids secondary combustion and helps achieve the maximum burning temperature from you stove. Secondary combustion provides cost savings and aids the environment by providing more heat from less fuel.
