Price Points: Stove fans

Stove fans | H is for Home

We have two wood-burning stoves in our new cottage – a large one in the lounge and a small one in the dining room. The former really blasts out the heat, warming the room very quickly. However, we’ve come to the conclusion that the latter needs a bit of help… so we’ve just bought one of these stove fans.

People have recommended these little devices to us in the past… it’s only taken until our 4th house with real fires to get one! Each of our Price Points fans has something different to offer, but ultimately they all aim to push more of the warm air horizontally out into the room at chair height rather than vertically up to the ceiling.

We actually bought model , and we can attest that it truly run silently. We also chose it because our dining room stove is pretty dinky and can’t accommodate a large fan or stand on its top. However, had we seen before we bought the one we did, we would have chosen that instead. In the past, we’ve seen examples that attach to the flue via an obtrusive, silver-coloured metal band. This one attaches to the flue magnetically – and almost invisibly – which frees up the space on the stove top.

Win a bucket of Flamers with Certainly Wood & H is for Home

For this month’s competition, we have a fantastic prize that you’ll use all year round. We’ve teamed up with Certainly Wood to offer one of our readers a bucket of Flamers firelighters.

We’ve been trialling these Flamers recently and we can really sing their praises. They’re a wonderful product – renewable, untreated wood shavings dipped in refined wax. They have a long burn which makes lighting fires easy and reliable. Also, there’s none of the harsh, chemical aromas that you get from other types of firelighter.

And as if that wasn’t enough, they actually look great too. They’re attractive additions to the fireside in the same way a basket of logs gives a natural, cosy look to a room. In addition to wood burners and open fires, they’re also perfect for barbecues and pizza ovens. We’re complete converts and won’t be using anything else in the future.

Gimme Five! Woodburning stoves

selection of 5 woodburning stoves | H is for Home

Yes, we know that according to the Met Office, June 1st is officially the start of summer. Yes, we’re featuring woodburning stoves… in the summer. Have you ever tried to get a chimney sweep or heating engineer to make a house call after October? June is the BEST time to get your chimney swept or a fire fitted or serviced!

We finally got the new fire in our kitchen installed in April by Burnley-based Acorn Chimney Sweeps – it had been sitting on the hearth for over a year, waiting for our insurance company to give the go-ahead. We were so impressed by their knowledge and level of service that we have booked them in to install a small woodburning stove (or multi-fuel stove to be exact) in a room on the top floor where we spend a lot of time in the evenings. Even in the summer they have a 6-week waiting list.

We’ve been given some basics about regulations and health & safety we need to bear in mind when choosing a stove. Anything that blasts out more than 5kw means we need to have a vent fitted – our house has foot-thick stone walls so that would be a job we’d rather not undertake. There needs to be a gap of at least 6 inches either side of the stove to the fireplace walls and 12 inches of hearth to the front.

We like a plain façade; no fancy, carbuncle-like ‘decoration’. We considered a pot belly stove but decided against it because we like looking at the flames through the glass door and the way light & shadows hit the walls and ceiling in the room. Bearing that in mind – and good looks as well, of course – we’ve made ourselves a short-list. Do you think some of them look like they have a face? Apparently there’s a word for that – pareidolia! 🙂
