Great reasons to use a woodburning stove
1. There is nothing quite so elemental as a log fire. There’s no greater contrast with cold, wet winter weather than rubbing your hands in front of a roaring fire.
2. Wood is a renewable fuel that’s good for the environment. Not only is it a renewable fuel source, but because wood provides 20 times more oxygen than is required for combustion, when burning, it releases no more CO2 than it would through natural decay. In other words, burning wood warms your home, not the planet.
3. In our climate here in Scotland, staying warm is right up there on the list of the most important things in life. Would you rather leave something so important in the hands of some faceless utility corporation or take control of when you burn wood?
4. It’s reliable. For example, if a storm interrupts the electrical supply, you’d be left stumbling about in the dark with no heating. But with a wood stove on the go, you remain cozy and warm during a power cut.
5. Its an irresistible focal point. There’s nothing like the flicker of flames and the warm glow that comes from a real fire. It’s the perfect setting for an intimate conversation and equally, it’s a place where family and friends gather round. When was the last time you gathered round a storage heater to share a glass of wine, laughter and conversation?
6. A stove is the most efficient way of heating because the fire is positioned where the heat is needed. No standing orders, no wires, no service engineers, just simply reliability.
7. Every penny you spend on oil, gas or electricity feeds big profits for big corporations. Spending money locally on firewood benefits your local community. Forest thinning is an integral part of managing forests and woodlands and a wonderful source of fuel.
8. Wood is the cheapest fuel you can use. After all, it grows on trees!
