Since the dawn of time, we have been burning wood to keep warm. Over time the art of wood burning has continued. While there is gas and electric as reliable fuel sources, there is something comforting and homely about burning wood. Something a little special….
Burning wood isn’t just good for the soul. It also has a number of benefits, which hold great appeal.
You’re self sufficient – Having your own supplies of wood puts you in control. You’re not at the mercy of relying on the grid for your power. You’re not subject to possible power outages or any interruptions.
You control what you spend – While you can indeed keep a close check on what you spend with electricity and gas, when you burn wood this is taken up a level. You decide how much wood to buy, and once it’s purchased, you know how much you have. No price rises, no surprises.
The sound, the smell – During times of trouble and strife, sometimes nothing beats sitting back and enjoying watching flames hypnotically devouring fire wood. The sound and the smell evoke feelings of calm and comfort. Add a glass of wine if that’s you’re thing, and relax a little more.
It’s environmentally friendly – Despite some media giving incorrect and misleading information around burning wood, if you use an Ecodesign Ready stove, you can rest assured that you’re keeping warm by an environmentally friendly, sustainable heating source. An Ecodesign Ready stove is over 80% efficient. An open fire is only around 20% efficient.
It’s heating space efficient – When you burn wood you only generally heat one room, the room you’re in. This is an incredibly efficient way to keep warm when compared to a central heating system, which typically heats all rooms.
In times of uncertainty and worry take to burning wood and take back control. View our range of wood burning stoves here.
