What You Should Be Focusing On Improving Best Woodburners
The Best Woodburners

The relaxing, blood pressure-reducing benefits of a wood burning stove have been documented. But what about the microscopic sooty particles they release into the air?


Fortunately, the latest stoves are built with the EcoDesign directive in mind. This means you can enjoy a warm and cozy home without breaking your environmental obligations.

1. Ekol Edge

The Ekol Edge wood burner is simple in appearance, yet does not sacrifice performance. It's a fantastic choice for people who live in smoke-free areas, since it has ClearSkies Level 5 certification. This means that it can burn dry and seasoned wood logs, or approved solid fuels. fireplacesandstove makes it an excellent choice for large-sized rooms. The huge fire glass also allows you to enjoy the flames.

It has a modern steel frame that allows it to be installed into both traditional inglenooks as well as freestanding spaces. It has an integrated air wash system that keeps the glass clear and helps prevent soot accumulation. The stove has excellent seasonal efficiency, meaning that a high percentage of the heat it generates is being transferred into your home instead of being lost up the chimney.

Recent criticism of wood burners has increased, because it was found that they may contribute to the production of microscopic sooty particles known as PM2.5. These particles have been linked to heart and lung issues. However, modern models that are made to meet the Eco design Regulations are much less likely to generate these particles. These are only a small portion of the total pollution created by burning fossil fuels such as coal and gas, but there is no doubt that wood stoves are the main source of this pollution.

It is crucial to select the right wood for the stove to ensure the most efficient heat output and the best combustion. There are many kinds of wood that can be used, including eucalyptus and Ash. Eucalyptus, which is fast-burning but also provides plenty of heat, is an excellent choice. However, it should be well-seasoned. Beech is also a great alternative, but it's hard to work with due to its thorns.

The Ekol Adept has been designed to cope with the upcoming changes to regulations that were recently implemented and is Defra exempt and ClearSkies rated. This means that you can use it with approved fuels as long as you follow the guidelines. It's a powerful burner designed to last, with sturdy construction and a 10-year body warranty, backed up by its incredibly impressive heating performance.

2. Arada Holborn 5 Widescreen

Wood burning stoves remain popular despite the confusing regulations that surround the use of these stoves. Some groups have called for stricter regulations, and even a ban on log burners. It's worth reading about our guide on the pollution of stoves and regulations, before you shop for a new multifuel or log fire.

One company that is making an effort to keep the popularity of woodburners up is Arada Stoves, who have recently launched a widescreen version of their popular Holborn 5 Multifuel/Wood Burning stove. It's a DEFRA-approved, SIA 2022 Ecodesign Ready stove with a huge door glass, which gives you an excellent flame picture and an airwash system that helps to prevent soot from accumulating.

This stove is easy to use, and has a heat output rating of 4.9kW. Its curved lines and classic design make it suitable for modern or traditional style. This model is easily fitted into smaller spaces due to its flat back design. It is also simple to install direct air systems using this model, which will increase the efficiency.

The stove also comes with a built-in ash dump, which makes it easy to clear ashes and clean them up regularly. This reduces the risk of odours and dust getting out of the room. There are two flue adaptors (standard or pre-fabricated) depending on the type of chimney you have, and it's accessible with the option of a remote control.

Wood-burning stoves create a lovely ambience in our homes, regardless of whether or not they are healthy for us. It is important to think about the health consequences of indoor pollution and particulate matter. So, if you're going to have a woodburner installed it is recommended you shut the door when not tending the fire. Also, you should regularly clean out the stove to ensure the indoor air is as healthy as possible.

3. Go Eco 5kW Plus

It's relaxing to watch the flames flicker, and it can help lower blood pressure. But it's not all good news. Research has proven that older stoves are dangerous because they emit microscopic particles of soot that could get into your respiratory system. New regulations have been put in place to ensure that log stoves meet higher standards. This helps reduce smoke leakage, creosote accumulation and more importantly, harmful gases like carbon monoxide.

New woodburners must meet a new safety standard. The Go Eco 5kW Plus is a multi-fuel stove that not only meets, but surpasses the new standards, but also exceeds them. It has a widescreen glass view window that provides a great flame view, and is kept clean with the power of an air wash system. This stove has an impressive efficiency rating of 80. It is DEFRA exempt, meaning that it is able to be used in areas that are smoke-free.

As if that wasn't enough the stove comes with a free air venting kit, making it easier than ever to put it in place. This is a sturdy model made of premium steel. The finish is a classic matte black. It's easy to clean as the body has been sprayed with an enamel that repels dirt.

The clearSkies label on this stove indicates that it has been independently tested and confirmed to be eco-friendly and efficient, this goes above and beyond the basic requirements set out by Ecodesign. This is one of a few stoves in our list that have the full five-star clearSkies rating.

4. Chilli Penguin Defrost

Chilli Penguin is a feisty Welsh wood burner brand that has an unorthodox style that shouldn't be overlooked. They are known for their small multi-fuel stoves that come with a wide range of sizes and features. This 4.7kW model exemplifies their focus on branding, and also shows that they can still provide an excellent product at a price that isn't too costly.
