Investing in a wood burner can transform the way that you heat your home. It provides a unique heat that keeps you warm during the cold nights of winter and creates a cosy atmosphere that is unmatched. Wood burners are also an efficient way to heat your home, as we explain in detail below.
A cosy atmosphere
Lounging in your living room with your family around a wood burner is a wonderful way to spend an evening. The ample warmth emanating from the burner, as well as the flickering flames, really brings the room together and creates a cosy atmosphere that is hard to beat. When the weather outside is far from ideal, a wood burner can make your home feel extremely snug, which is the perfect backdrop for a Monopoly marathon or a night in front of Netflix. You will find that your wood burner becomes your new best friend as you navigate the long, cold nights of the British winter.
Excellent heat output
As well as creating a homely atmosphere, wood burners are also extremely efficient when it comes to heat output. In other words, the space that you’re seeking to heat gets warm really quickly and doesn’t cost you a huge amount of fuel. Another great thing about wood burners is that they’re available in various sizes and designs, so you can pick the perfect system for the current aesthetics of your room.
To get the most out of your wood burner, make sure you use dry, seasoned wood. You need to choose wood that has been dried to a moisture content of 20% or less. Dried wood provides more heat than wet wood and also emits less smoke and air pollution, making it a greener choice. Our Shimada Heat Logs are an ultra-dry, high-energy heat source that is perfect for wood burners.
Energy efficiency
Some wood-burning stoves come with an energy efficiency rating of more than 80%, meaning they’re a great option when it comes to heating your home. This is an incredible statistic when you compare the latest wood burners to stoves of the past, which were notoriously inefficient as far as heating an entire property was concerned. Again, the key to ensuring that your wood-burning stove is as efficient as possible is fueling the fire with the right source of fuel.
Our kiln-dried firewood is another great option for wood-burning stoves, as it’s dried to a moisture content of less than 20%. Our logs are ready to burn and will burn hotter and for longer than any other type of log fuel. They also benefit from burning at a high temperature with a long and natural flame. So, if you’re hoping to guarantee the efficiency of your wood burner, choosing the right fuel is super important.
Do you have the right fuel for your wood burner?
In addition to our kiln-dried firewood and Shimada heat logs, we also have several firelighting and kindling options that will help you get your wood burner started with minimum fuss.
Ultimately, a wood burner is a great addition and ensures your home will be cosier, warmer, and more efficient this winter.
