Traditional Wood Burning Stoves in Oxford
Our Wood Burning Stoves in Oxford are all multi-fuel wood burners that can run on a number of solid fuels including coal, wood and eco fuel. The design is based around the archetypal British wood burning stoves, designed to fit into fireplaces and provide superior heat. Traditional multi-fuel stoves give that classic feel to your home and provide a lovely, comforting warmth. Nothing is better on a cold winter’s night than snuggling up in front of the roaring fire created within your traditional multi-fuel stove.
Why Choose a Wood Burning Stove?
The wood stove can only burn wood, which means that it will have a static fire grate or burn straight off the base. The wood can sit on a bed of ash and the air can circulate over it. Wood can be extremely efficient as a fuel and provides the best flame effect. Another advantage of using wood is that the ash doesn’t need emptying as often as other fuels and the sound and smell of wood burning is extremely comforting.
There are many stoves that can be sold as a wood burner and if you wish in the future to add a grate to burn smokeless fuel this can be an optional extra. Quite a few manufacturers offer static or riddling grates as optional however quite a few of our customers have remained as wood only. Most stoves are cheaper if wood burning only!!!
The biggest worry with a wood burning stove is getting access to dry fuel. There are a lot of suppliers offering seasoned wood which turns out to be quite wet and this causes problems when burning (presuming it is dry enough to light)? We sell Hotties which are 2% moisture and we also provide kiln dry timber. There are a couple of local log suppliers here in West Sussex, who provide very good seasoned logs and we are certain that you will have local suppliers of wood where you live. With the correct fuel your stove should burn very clean.
Generally wood stoves take air from above and coal would take air from below. Wood needs to burn on a bed of ash taking its heat from the ash and air from above and coal needs to have nothing below as it burns from air below.

Why Choose a Wood Burning Stove?
When looking to warm up your home this winter, then you should think about investing in a free-standing Wood Burning Stove. There are many benefits and reasons as to why you should consider investing in installing a free-standing stove in your Oxford based home. These benefits include:
- High Efficiency Rates – Free standing stoves have an efficiency rate of up to 82%, thanks to the use of cast iron features heat is released more slowly.
- Using a Renewable Fuel Source – Free standing stoves usually run off wood logs, which are a renewable fuel source. When you burn wood it is also carbon neutral as the carbon dioxide given off during the combustion period is equivalent to that absorbed by the tree during its growth.
- Heat your Domestic Hot Water – Stoves can be linked directly to your existing central heating system and will not just provide heat for one room but enough hot water for each radiator within your home.

Frequently Asked Questions About Wood Burning Stoves in Oxford
How Long Does Installation Usually Take?
Installation times can vary due to the difference in the work involved. Our work varies from installing a stove and liner to your existing opening which will always be completed within a day, through to a full knock-out of your chimney breast including building work and installation of stove, fireplace and flue which can take up to three days.
How Easy are Wood Burning Stoves to Light?
Some people have distant childhood memories, or perhaps more recent personal experience, of an open fireplace which was notoriously difficult to light. A modern wood burning stove is in fact very easy and quick to get going, and the best materials are freely available: balled-up sheets of yesterday’s newspaper, pieces of cardboard, and a few handfuls of dry kindling wood. One match should be all that is needed, and within a couple of minutes the fire is roaring away, and small logs can be added.
How Often Should I Sweep My Chimney?
At least once a year, and more frequently if you are burning solid mineral fuel or moist wood, or if you are not burning your wood cleanly. Ideally the chimney should be swept before, during and after the heating season.
