Installing a stove in the summer time, are you mad?

Installing a stove in the summer time, are you mad?

We all know that the best stove installers are often unavailable due to their busy schedules from September right through to March time. During this period the UK tends to attract the coldest and the most challenging periods of weather. Those who have been considering a wood-burning or multifuel stove for weeks or months, suddenly decide now is the time. However, are you really mad to consider installing a stove in the summertime?

Unpredictable weather

Whether we like it or not, weather patterns in the UK continue to change with unseasonal warm periods over the winter and unseasonal cold periods over the summer. The reality is that predicting the UK weather from day-to-day is challenging but looking weeks and months ahead is a whole different universe. So, perhaps it is time to look towards the “warmer climes” to install your new wood-burning/multifuel stove and have it ready for the oncoming cold snap?

Hwam 4510 wood burning stove

The new Hwam 4510 Stove

While contemporary wood-burning stoves have certainly grown in popularity, the Hwam 4510 stove is certainly something a little different from the norm. Aside from the fact it has a relatively large front viewing area, so you can drift off watching the flickering flames and embers, there are also two side glass panels. This transforms the look and feel of this particular model and while the flickering flames are also visible from the side, it also enhances the glow of the burning embers.

Hearth, plinth or wall mounted

The Hwam 4510 wood burning stove comes in three different variations, the standard model, cast door model (Hwam 4510c) and glass door model (Hwam 4510m). When you also consider the fact the machine can be mounted directly on a hearth, on a low (175 mm) or high plinth (255 mm) and even wall mounted, the options are extremely attractive. This ensures that the Hwam 4510 wood burning stove is at home in any environment whether traditional, contemporary or mix of the two. Many people assume that wall mounted stoves are difficult to install when this is not the case. So, the options are there, which one would best suit your room?

Eight tips to maximise wood burning stove efficiency

If you asked individual wood-burning stove users how they maximise the efficiency of their stove you will likely get an array of different tips and advice. The truth is there are very simple ways in which you can maximise the efficiency of any wood-burning stove and reduce emissions. As the cost of energy continues to rise and emission regulations tighten it is extremely important to maximise the efficiency of your machine. We have listed eight tips below which you should follow to get the best out of your wood-burning stove:

Aim for 20% moisture content in wood fuel

Whether you are drying your own wood or buying in wood fuel it is vital that the moisture content is no more than 20%. This is the limit at which your wood will burn to maximum efficiency as well as eliminating the creation of potentially dangerous and damaging tar-like material. It also ensures that the missions from your wood-burning stove are kept as low as possible therefore having limited impact on the environment.
