Why might I want to buy a stove?
There are numerous reasons you might want a stove including;
- Saving money -particularly if you use oil heating and have a cheap or free source of wood.
- Increased efficiency-if you already use an open fire a stove would be far more efficient,up to around 80% efficient compared to around 20% for an open fire.
- You can burn far less fuel for the same amount of heat.
- Aestetics - a stove can be an excellent centerpiece for a room, its not unusual for owners to find themselves watching the flames rather than tv.
- Cutting your carbon foot print-burning wood from renewable resources and replacing other fuels like coal, gas or oil will help cut carbon footprint.
