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?
The new Hwam 4520 Stove
Those who follow the wood-burning stove industry will be well aware of renowned Danish stove brand Hwam which has a unique ability to mix and match traditional and contemporary stoves with the latest technology. So, while there is no doubt that the Hwam 4520 stove is contemporary in style it is traditional in the fact that it is able to create an eye-catching display of burning embers and flickering flames for you to watch through the enlarged front viewing panel. We live in a day and age when different types of stove are not only there to create heat but also capture the attention of visitors and in many ways become an integral part of a room design.
Hearth mounted, plinth or wall mounted
There are not many stoves available today which will allow you to mount on a hearth, low plinth, high plinth as well as a wall bracket.
Well, these are the options with the new Hwam 4520 range of wood burning stoves. The low plinth is 175 mm in height, the high plinth 255 mm in height and the wall bracket can be mounted at any height. While there is a fashion towards wall mounted wood-burning stoves, which are still relatively easy to install, there is still strong demand for more traditional placement.

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.

Types of fuel for your multifuel stove and wood-burning stove
When looking to acquire a stove you will need to consider the types of fuel available to you locally at an affordable price. While there is some overlap between the types of fuel used with a multifuel stove and a wood-burning stove, there are also some differences. As the name suggests, a multifuel stove will accommodate an array of different fuel types while a wood-burning stove simply burns wood.
Wood fuels
Without going into too much detail, there are many different types of wood available in the UK which can be used with a wood-burning stove. Some of the more popular types include ash, oak, beech, cedar, hawthorn, blackthorn, maple, rowan, apple and pear. They all have different heat ratings, different burn rates and it is worth looking into these further.
Solid fuels
While wood is classed as a solid fuel, and a perfectly acceptable fuel for a multifuel stove, these type of stoves also accommodate other fuels. In simple terms, multifuel stoves work best with high calorific value fuel which give a greater level of heat when burned. This includes fuels such as:-
• Manufactured coal
• Smokeless fuels
• Anthracite
