While the company’s official name is Dunsley Heat it is affectionately known as simply Dunsley in the stove industry. This Yorkshire based customer friendly company has been around for some time attracting interest from a whole range of stove enthusiasts. The company’s attention to detail regarding wood-burning and multifuel stoves is renowned, quality of the machines is there for all to see and the ability to comply with the Ecodesign 2022 regulations, two years early is a master stroke. Dunsley stoves are well known by those who follow the stove industry and it is not difficult to see why.
Range of Dunsley stoves
It is fairly obvious where the company’s reputation comes from when you take a glance at the range of Dunsley stoves on offer. There are three specific ranges and a new stand-alone wood-burning stove:-
• Dunsley Avance 500 stove
• The Yorkshire stove
• The Highlander range
• Highlander Solo SG range
Compared to many other stove companies this is a fairly compact range of stoves on offer. Being able to focus on a reduced number of stoves has allowed Dunsley to achieve perfection. Time, money and significant effort have gone into each of this range of different stoves. They appeal to different areas of the market but all under the general reliability and technologically advanced Dunsley umbrella.
Dunsley Avance 500 stove
While we have been stocking Dunsley spare parts for some time now, we now stockthe full range of stoves with the Dunsley Avance 500 stove the first to hit our website. The fact that this stove is already Ecodesign 2022 compliant means that you will have no issues whatsoever using this stove for many years to come. It has the latest in combustion technology which has led to a significant reduction in emissions. The stove has dimensions of height 630 mm, width 605 mm with a depth of 275 mm and a top/rear flue outlet option with a 5 inch diameter flue.
It is not difficult to see why the Dunsley Avance 500 stove is already proving extremely popular among stove enthusiasts. The ability to burn, re-burn and burn again, ensures that as much gas as possible is burnt away leaving minimal emissions. In this day and age, that is priceless!
Yorkshire stove
As we touched on above, Dunsley stoves have particular attention to detail which is perfectly illustrated by the Dunsley Yorkshire stove. Unlike traditional stoves, where the air enters from beneath the fuel, with this stove the air enters above the fuel. This forces the smoke down into the hottest part of the stove where it can be burnt and re-burnt to reduce emissions and maximise fuel use/heat output. In this day and age eco-friendly/Ecodesign compliant stoves are extremely popular despite the fact that the regulations do not come in until 2022.
The Dunsley Yorkshire stove is a boiler stove model with dimensions of width 595 mm, height 715 mm with a depth of 450 mm. The machine weighs in at an impressive 198 kg and is one of the most efficient boiler stoves on the market today.
The Highlander range
The Dunsley Highlander range of wood-burning/multifuel stoves offers a particularly ornate decorative design. There are 9 machines in the range which include the:-
• Highlander 3 SG
• Highlander 5
• Highlander 7
• Highlander 8
• Highlander 8 CH
• Highlander 10
• Highlander 10 CH
• Highlander Solo range
• Highlander Solo SG
The Highlander range is best described as a traditional wood-burning/multifuel stove which has an ornate traditional style but contains the latest in combustion technology. Small touches such as the standard brass handles add to the look although there is the option for black handles. The super air wash system ensures that the viewing area is clear at all times. As a consequence you can watch the flickering flames and the burning embers to your heart’s desire!
Highlander Solo SG range
When you saw the name Highlander Solo SG range you probably thought these would be just a simple upgrade on the standard Highlander. Well, you are wrong! The range of Highlander Solo SG range takes in:-
• Highlander Solo 3SG with simmering rose paint finish
• Highlander Solo 5SG with honey glo brown paint finish
• Highlander Solo 5SG Slimline
• Highlander Solo 7SG with blue metallic paint finish
• Highlander Solo 8SG
• Highlander Solo 5SG Slimline Pedestal
• Highlander Solo 5SG log store
• Highlander Solo 8SG log store
• Highlander Solo 10SG log store
The Highlander Solo 8SG stove comes in a double fronted version. There is a central heating option with the Highlander Solo 10SG available with central heating or as a non-boiler model with high heat output. True, the basics of the Highlander Solo SG range are similar to the Highlander range itself but there is one expanded difference. The glass viewing area!
The even more ornately decorated body is complemented by an expanded viewing area which will draw your eyes at every opportunity. The ability to watch the flickering flames and the burning embers while relaxing should not be underestimated. Yes, this range also offers a boiler system on some of the larger machines but it is the heat output and the extended viewing area which makes them stand out.
Conclusion
As the range of Dunsley stoves continues to grow so does the company’s reputation and popularity. This is a company that prides itself on reliability, longevity and the ability to incorporate the latest in combustion technology within a traditional styled body. For many stove manufacturers this is the Holy Grail with many failing to incorporate both of these elements. There is no doubt that Dunsley stoves will be more popular than ever going forward. In an era where attention to detail, near zero emissions and the ability to incorporate the latest technology in an old world style machine is priceless, Dunsley is leading where the rest follow.
