  " A house with no fireplace is a house without a heart."                                   — Gladys Taber Fireplaces have long been considered the heart of the home and the true focal point of a room. They provide comfort and a feeling of content when the weather outside is cold and bleak. It’s a place to share intimate talks, tell stories, or just sit together around a warm glow.  The traditional log-burning fireplace is still considered the perfect choice for a warm, rustic living room in the U.K. Indeed, a log burning fireplace is classic and timeless, but to achieve a high temperature with little to no smoke, it’s all about the fuel… You need wood that’s not ‘green’, it must be sufficiently dry and well-seasoned. For thoroughly dry wood, kiln dried logs are the superior fuel.  Low moisture content ...

  Wood fired pizza ovens are a popular purchase for London homeowners. Summer will be here before you know it and a garden pizza oven can be an excellent addition to the home and a great experience to be shared with friends and family.   Pizza ovens reach extremely high temperatures, (we are talking 500-700 degrees F!) and are great not only for cooking pizzas in a short amount of time, but also for adding a unique flavour to braising meats. The added flavour is just one of the benefits that may make you want to invest in one for yourself :   Radiation - Higher performance than an open fire as the heat source radiates all around the oven, which also retains a great deal of the heat. Convection - As the flame is situated on one side of the oven, this helps to better circulate heat around, in a similar way that a fan assisted kitchen oven does.  Conduction -  The materials used to construct a pizza ovens help to retain and transfer the heat directly to the food th...

  Not all forms of wood burn the same way, wood from some trees can burn slowly, providing lots of heat, whilst others can burn much more quickly and produce much more smoke. When you come to purchase wood logs for your fireplace there are a few things for you to consider. Firstly, where will the wood be burnt?, do you have a wood burning stove, or an open fire? - The choice of which wood logs are best for your fire will be dependent upon how it’s being burnt. Let's look at some key factors which will help you choose the best type of wood to keep you warm throughout the colder months. Which wood logs burn better and keep my chimney clean? You should avoid using softwood as your main fuel for burning. Hardwood is a much superior choice as it is more dense and produces greater heat output when compared to softwood. Wood logs from softwood trees do catch fire quickly but they deposit a high amount of soot on your chimneys due to the high sap content. Softwoods are much better utilise...

  Air pollution is a very topical issue today, and there is a real shift towards making our air cleaner.   The ‘Clean Air Strategy - 2019’ states, ”Air quality is the largest environmental health risk in the UK. It shortens lives and contributes to chronic illness. Health can be affected both by short-term, high-pollution episodes and by long-term exposure to lower levels of pollution. There are small things we can all do that will make a big difference to emissions locally and nationally.”   The ’Clean Air Strategy' has created initiatives to reduce emissions in many areas that it identified, including household wood and coal burning, open fires, and stoves. The proposition is to ensure these fires are as clean as they can be by the year 2022. Clean-burning stoves require clean-burning wood to keep emission rates to a minimum. So, how are ‘clean-burning woods’ classified as such?   Clean burning wood has one inherent property; it’s as dry as possible. Wo...
