Wood-burning and multifuel stove efficiency tips

ACR NEO range of multi fuel stoves hits the market

When a company such as ACR decides to invest significant time, money and effort in creating a full range of new stoves, you know they are worth looking at. This is certainly the case with the ACR NEO range of multifuel stoves which are extremely easy on the eye and also hide the latest in combustion technology. So, what does the ACR NEO range have to offer and which one best suits your requirements?

ACR NEO1F multifuel stove

One of the first things which strike you about the ACR NEO1F multifuel stove is the four short cylindrical legs which are very different to the norm. This ensures that this particular stove can rest easy in a fireplace recess on a freestanding basis. Obviously, the significantly extended glass viewing area compared to more traditional models is a very big attraction for many. The ability to watch the flickering flames and the burning embers from a distance, feel the heat from the 5 kW output is perfect for that moment of relaxation at the end of a long day.

This machine has dimensions of height 820 mm, width 490 mm with a depth of 397 mm and the machine weighs in at just 90 kg. The efficiency rating is a gross 74.4% rising to a net 81.8% and it is worth noting that it is DEFRA approved for wood-burning in smoke controlled areas. There is so much to the ACR NEO1F multifuel stove that it is difficult to know where to start but once you see the machine in real life you will know exactly what we mean.

Why the ACR Birchdale 5kw Multi Fuel Stove stands out

To say that the white gloss enamel finish version of the ACR Birchdale 5kw Multi Fuel Stove stands out a mile is an understatement to say the least. However, while the white enamel version is very prominent in the promotional pictures, there is much more to this stove. Coincidently, it also comes with a matt black paint finish for those looking for a more traditional multifuel stove. So, what do you get with the ACR Birchdale 5kw Multi Fuel Stove?

The look of the ACR Birchdale 5kw Multi Fuel Stove

While this particular stove is sold as a “contemporary design” it is actually a contemporary design based on a traditional wood-burning stove shape. It is perhaps the significantly extended glass viewing area which makes it a contemporary look but traditional in feel. The square box shape ensures that this is a stove which can be placed anywhere in your room and while it will be “inconspicuous” it will also be a conversation starter and a great centrepiece.

Tiger Stoves offer great value for money

Entry level stoves and value for money

In years gone by there were serious concerns about the quality of “cheap” wood-burning and multifuel stoves from places such as China. It is fair to say that over the last 10 years the quality of relatively cheap entry level stoves (both wood-burning and multifuel stoves) from overseas has increased dramatically. We have the Firefox range and the Tiger selection of stoves both of which are going down extremely well with level entry consumers.

Solid and reliable

If we look at the Firefox range of stoves they offer a heat output of between 5 kW and 12 kW. Prices range from just over £400 to just under £800 offering excellent value for money and surprising reliability. The Tiger range of stoves tends to focus on the mid-range heat capacity of between 4 kW and 6 kW. Like the Firefox range, while they may be imported from China they are solid machines and built to last.
