Review of ACR Larchdale Wood Burning Stove

The first thing that hits you about the ACR Larchdale stove is the size. This is the largest cast-iron stove in the ACR range of wood-burning and multifuel stoves. A review of the ACR Larchdale wood-burning stove has certainly made for interesting reading amidst its growing popularity. One of the first things to mention is the fact that it can be used in smoke controlled areas which is something that will be more important in the years ahead as regulations continue to tighten.

A look at the ACR Larchdale stove

Interestingly, while some companies are just catching up with the wide viewing area trend, this is perhaps the most eye-catching elements of the ACR Larchdale stove. The traditional look and extended glass door all hide the latest in combustion technology. The fact that this machine can create 9 kW of heat says everything about the stove.

We have revamped our stove accessories section

ACR Elmdale Stove, class in glass

It is fair to say that the ACR Elmdale Stove is larger than your traditional stove but it is a beauty! Designed specifically for large inglenook fireplaces it offers a traditional matching steel canopy but the glass viewing area is something very different. Described as a contemporary stove, which is perfectly correct, the steel canopy just gives it that old-fashioned old-world look. So what else does the ACR Elmdale Stove have to offer?

Design of the ACR Elmdale Stove

Despite the fact that the new design regulations do not come into play until 2022 this stove is already SIA EcoDesign ready. We cannot reiterate how much this will be worth in the long-term as governments around the world continue to tighten regulations regarding the use of stoves, especially in smoke control areas. It is also worth noting the beautifully angled glass door which is very different to anything you will probably have seen before. The way in which it is designed gives an even greater viewing area from which you can watch the flickering flames and the burning embers until your heart’s content.

How long should a wood burning stove last

The full range of Yeoman CL Stoves

While each month seems to bring an array of new wood-burning and multifuel stoves to the marketplace, the Yeoman range of CL Stoves is still as popular today as it ever has been. A growing focus on stoves which can be used in smoke control areas has played into the hands of companies such as Yeoman Stoves who recognised the shifting trend many years ago.

We will now take a look at the full range of Yeoman CL stoves and see exactly what they have to offer.

Yeoman CL5 Midline Wood-Burning and Multifuel Stove

The Yeoman CL5 Midline stove comes in wood-burning and multifuel variations and the first thing you will notice is the integration of the a very useful log store. This not only allows you to store sufficient logs to see you through the day but it also raises the body of the stove improving the viewing area and minimising space requirements.

Arada stove brand names

The Arada stove brand name has developed over the years and now takes in the Aarrow stoves brand-name as well. Those who follow Arada will be well aware that the company has reorganised its offerings in recent times which now take in the Ecoburn stove, Farringdon stove, Hamlet stove, I Series stove and the Villager stove. While some companies tend to focus on either traditional or contemporary stoves, Arada has been able to develop offerings on both sides of the fence which are going down extremely well with consumers.

Ecoburn stoves

The Ecoburn stove range is an interesting mix of vaguely traditional shape with a very contemporary look. Ranging from the 4 kW Ecoburn Plus 4 stove up to the 11 kW Ecoburn Plus 11 stove it is fair to say this range of stoves covers the vast majority of heating requirements. Aside from the obvious quality and investment which has gone into the design and look of this particular range, there is one thing that stands out, the enlarged viewing area on all machines.

Have you seen the ACR Trinity 1 multifuel stove?

There is no doubt that the growing demand for contemporary stoves has led to an increase in demand for items such as the ACR Trinity 1 multifuel stove. As you can see from the image, this is a square design multifuel stove but it has an extended viewing area from which you can enjoy the flickering flames and the burning embers. What may surprise many people is the fact under the relatively plain exterior hidden away is the latest in stove of combustion technology and efficiency. If ever there was a case of not judging a book by its cover then the ACR Trinity 1 multifuel stove ticks all the boxes!

Comfortable in any environment

It does depend on which way you look at the ACR Trinity 1 multifuel stove as to whether you see a contemporary or even a touch of tradition in the design. While the extended viewing area is most certainly a characteristic of contemporary stoves, it will look perfect in either contemporary or traditional styled locations. In many ways the first thing you see is the flickering flames and the burning embers and to a certain degree the design is secondary.
