Few things feel more inviting on a cold winter evening than the warmth and natural flame of a log burner. As well as providing an additional source of heat, a log burning stove can create a welcoming focal point in the room.
Our range includes models suitable for different room sizes, fireplace openings and styles of property. Contact our team if you need help comparing stove dimensions, hearths, chambers or fitting requirements.

The right stove will depend on the size and insulation of the room, the existing fireplace opening and the heat output required. An undersized stove may struggle to warm the room, while an oversized model could make the space uncomfortable.
You should also consider the hearth, fireplace chamber, flue, ventilation and the clearances required around the appliance. These requirements can vary between models, so always check the manufacturer’s instructions before ordering.
Wood burner stove installations must comply with the relevant Building Regulations. Work can be certified by a suitably registered competent installer, or approval may need to be arranged through building control. Approved Document J covers areas including air supply, hearths, fireplaces, chimneys and flues.
Our range includes modern Eco design stoves designed to burn fuel efficiently and produce fewer emissions than many older appliances. Before ordering, check whether your property is in a smoke control area. To burn logs in one of these areas, you generally need an exempt appliance approved for use with wood often described as a Defra approved stove and must operate it using the permitted fuel and according to its instructions.
Always check the individual product specification because Defra-exempt status and permitted fuels apply to specific stove models.
Hardwood and softwood logs may both be suitable, depending on the manufacturer’s instructions. The most important factor is that the wood is properly dried.
Use logs with a moisture content of 20% or less. In England, wood sold in quantities of less than two cubic metres must be certified as Ready to Burn, confirming that it meets this moisture limit. Burning wet wood produces less useful heat and can increase smoke, soot and deposits within the appliance and flue.
The Parkray Aspect 6 is on live-fire display in our Heanor showroom. We regularly add another log and show customers how controllable the stove is, taking the flames from a strong, lively burn down to a slow, lazy flicker using the air controls.
Our log baskets are kept filled with kiln-dried wood, helping customers see the type of fuel used in a modern wood-burning stove and how dry logs burn when the appliance is operated correctly.
Seeing the stove working helps customers understand how the controls affect the flame, how the fire changes during use and what they can expect from a modern log burner.
We are also happy to discuss suitable hearths, fireplace chambers, opening sizes, clearances and the fitting requirements involved in creating a complete stove installation. Customers ordering online can contact us with their measurements or questions before choosing a model.

Not always. Where a suitable chimney is not available, it may be possible to install a purpose-designed insulated flue system. The route, height, clearances and property layout must be assessed carefully, and the installation must meet the relevant Building Regulations and manufacturer’s instructions.
The correct heat output depends on the room dimensions, ceiling height, insulation, glazing and how much warmth you need the stove to provide. An undersized stove may not heat the room adequately, while an oversized model may make it uncomfortable. In many existing homes, a stove with a nominal heat output above 5kW will require a permanently open air vent. Approved Document J gives a ventilation allowance of 550mm² for each kilowatt above 5kW for a typical stove without a flue draught stabiliser. More airtight properties may require ventilation for the stove’s full rated output, including appliances rated at 5kW or below.
Contact our team for help comparing suitable outputs, or ask your installer to confirm the stove size and ventilation required for your property before ordering.
Most wood-burning stoves are designed mainly to heat the room in which they are installed. Some warmth may travel into adjoining rooms depending on the property layout, insulation and stove output, but a standard stove should not be expected to heat the whole house.
