Lighting a fire in your wood burning stove is easy when you have a guide to follow. Follow these steps and you’ll have your stove lit in no time at all!   This method below describes the recommended top-down method for lighting a fire or stove, including Ecodesign wood burners. If you want to browse our Ecodesign Ready stoves and fires, head to this link, or speak to your local retailer. Step-by-step guide to lighting a fire   Firstly, ensure you use dry logs. You can find out more about identifying good firewood that is ready to burn on our website. Now that you have your logs, place two small logs in your stove. This will form the bottom of the stack you are building. Place two smaller logs on top. Next, build a crisscross stack of kindling, and place a firelighter in the centre as you build upwards. Once you have built a stack of kindling, place another firelighter on top. Light the topmost firelighter and leave the door of your stove ajar. Make sure all the air controls are fully open, and once the kindling is alight, close the door. After the logs have caught fire, set the stove to normal running mode. It would be best to refer to your stove’s instructions for advice on using the air controls. Refuel your stove once the logs have burnt down. When refuelling, open the air controls fully to quickly ignite the newly added logs. As soon as they are burning well, set the controls back to normal running mode. For further help, watch the useful video below to guide you through each step.

Buying a stove can be a great way to bring a warming, ambient focal point into your living space. But depending on your needs, some stove options may be better suited to you than others. Read on to find out which Dovre wood burning, multi-fuel, gas or electric stove will make the perfect addition to your home.   WOOD BURNING AND MULTI-FUEL STOVES If you’re looking for a powerful heat source and love the idea of getting in touch with simpler times – whether it’s chopping wood or making a fire, a modern solid fuel stove is a great choice. Dovre offer a huge range of traditional and contemporary cast iron solid fuel stoves which burn wood or smokeless mineral fuels and offer a practical heating solution. Dovre wood burning and multi-fuel stoves meet tough 2022 Ecodesign air quality standards, providing high efficiency heat and breathtaking flame visuals. Many of these advanced log burners feature triple airflow combustion systems, which minimise emissions and keep the stove glass clear. Wood burning and multi-fuel stoves can either be installed into an existing chimney or if your home doesn’t have a chimney, with a prefabricated stainless steel flue system like the Stovax Professional XQ range. GAS STOVES Choosing a Dovre gas stove is a great option if you want instant, high efficiency heat with all the convenience of simply pushing a button. Dovre gas stoves feature a highly realistic log-effect with hand detailed ceramic logs that look just like the real thing. An innovative gas burner creates dancing flames with a glowing emberwool bed to complete the display. Dovre gas stoves feature easy to use manual controls, but for ultimate ease, can be upgraded with a choice of remote controls allowing flame height and heat output to be adjusted and even programmable heating. These advanced gas stoves are offered in a range of versions to ensure they are suitable for almost any home. Conventional and balanced flue models mean they can be installed with or without a chimney, and LPG options mean you don’t even need to be on a gas line to enjoy these superb stoves. ELECTRIC STOVES For stunning visuals with the option to enjoy the ambience with or without the heat, Dovre electric stoves provide ultimate versatility. The Veriflame LED flame effect can be independently operated from the heating function, making them the perfect choice for well-insulated homes. Unlike solid fuel and gas stoves, electric stoves do not need to be flued into your home since they do not create combustion gases. This makes them an ideal choice for locations such as conservatories and hallways – requiring just a typical household plug socket to run. FURTHER INFORMATION AND ADVICE Your local Limegreen can help you choose the right stove for your home and will be able to show you a range of options available, often burning. In addition to providing expert advice, they can also conduct a site survey to offer guidance on heat output and flueing requirements for wood burning,

A joint agreement with Cardiff Airport and a local renewable energy developer will see the installation of a brand new Solar PV Farm on the airport site in the near future. The construction of the 2MW solar site is set to be completed within the next 18 months by Bridgend-based company Cenin Renewables, who have successfully delivered notable renewable energy projects across key sites in South Wales. The Solar PV Farm at Cardiff Airport will sit within the boundary of the site and will supply the business with electricity via a private wire, with any surplus energy being exported to the national grid. It is anticipated that the new Solar PV Farm will deliver a carbon reduction of some 20,508 tonnes over the next 25 years, a saving of approximately 860 tonnes every year. This project is the next step in Cardiff Airport’s recently unveiled its Environmental Flight Path – a timeline of immediate and short term environmental goals. These milestones will be delivered in line with the organisation’s vision to become a ‘Carbon neutral Airport’ and is a key consideration for the Airport’s Masterplan development over the next two decades. Mark Bailey, Director of Airport Planning and Development at Cardiff Airport, commented: “After a huge amount of careful planning and consideration, it is hugely exciting to see this project come to life. “We’re proud to be working in partnership with a Welsh business who bring with them expert knowledge and a wealth of experience needed to develop this project on our site. When it’s complete it will deliver massive carbon reductions and power the Airport.” In addition to its renewable energy and carbon reduction benefits, the Solar PV farm will create a welcoming, natural environment for biodiversity including bees and some species of wild flowers. Martyn Popham, Director at Cenin Renewables, added: “Cenin Renewables is delighted to have been chosen to work with Cardiff Airport to help them achieve an important part of their comprehensive plan to decarbonise the airport operation.” About the Cardiff Airport Environmental Flight Path Cardiff Airport’s Environmental Flight Path has been developed with the support of Cardiff Airport’s Board, Welsh Government, the Airport Operators’ Association and WSP consultancy. It is a framework developed to track environmental and sustainability successes that have already been achieved, whilst setting our immediate and short term goals. These include: Sourcing 100% of our power supply from renewable and clean energy sources – delivered in October 2019   Signing the Healthy Travel Charter – an initiative where we will commit to supporting and encouraging our team and customers to travel in a sustainable way to and from the Airport – delivered in October 2019   Introducing electric vehicle charge points across our car parks – November 2019   Renewing our recycling operations – November 2019   Installing smart meters across the site to closely monitor energy consumption – January 2020   Updating Cardiff Airport’s Climate Change Adaptation Report – March 2020   Continuing to work with all partners to further the

During the scorching months of the Great British Summer…. ok maybe just in warmer times, the chances are you didn’t use your stove, keeping it dormant and log free. Now that the kids are back to school and the chances of an Indian summer are fading by the day, you have probably started to think about cosy nights in front of the fire. This means getting your stove ready and back in action. Winter is coming Similar to your car’s MOT, it’s necessary to pay your stove the attention it deserves, make repairs to ensure it is running at its most efficient. Autumn is the perfect time to do this, and it’s very important to rectify any problems before the cold weather sets in and the strains and pressures of regular and heavy use are put upon the stove. If being a good cub scout taught us anything it was the importance of being prepared and being stuck in the throes of a horrifically icy winter only to find you stove has broken down is not good at all. So in preparation for the winter and to avoid the unthinkable we have put together this handy list to help get you stove ready for the winter.  Get your stove ready fore the cold weather: Clean out the ash-pan. We recommend you use a dedicated ash vacuum cleaner to save your domestic vacuum from becoming blocked from the fine ash particles, or use a secure ash caddie to stop spillages. Check all air-holes are clear and free from any debris build up. These help get vital oxygen to your fire and make it as efficient as possible. Give your glass a clean with a dedicated stove glass cleaner to get the best results. Not only does this remove the build-up of dangerous creosote, it lets you see the beautiful roaring fire you’ve created. Check your stove rope around the seals of your stove doors and replace at the first sign of damage. To do this, chalk the rope with the door open and then shut it. When you open it again, look to see the line made by the chalk on the stove, where the rope should be touching. If any gaps are spotted, then you need to replace the rope. Check your firebricks and look for any damage. These reflect the heat back at the fire, protecting the body of the stove and improving efficiency. Remove any flammable objects from the area around your stove. Sounds obvious but you’d be surprised what people put on top of (or even in) their stoves when they’re not in use. Similarly, with Halloween coming up, check any decorations hanging nearby aren’t too close to your stove. Test your smoke and carbon monoxide alarms. It is absolutely imperative that you make sure these work. Get your chimney cleaned by a reputable chimney sweep. Creosote builds up in chimneys over time and birds have a tendency to build nests or fall down them. Start to

Essential Guide to Fireplaces – By Stovax /Gazco For many, stoking up the woodburner or switching on the gas fire was an optional extra – a way of adding an ambient focal point when the family came to visit or making the home cosy on those wintry and grey days. Not so now. Today, the function of a fire or stove in a typical British home is one vital to creating warmth and atmosphere; an essential component of a heating system from which we demand not only high performance and efficiency but cost effectiveness and quality design. Today’s home maker wants top results for their money.   Step forward modern wood burning, gas and electric fireplaces, equipped with the latest technology and stunning aesthetics to satisfy a range of tastes from the traditional to the contemporary; country inspired or urban chic. If you are considering a fireplace or would like to upgrade your current appliance, this article will act as an introduction to the many options available to you.   First Steps… Wood, Gas or Electric?   One of the first things to deduce before you consider design is: ‘what type of fuel can I burn?’ If your property has a chimney breast, you will most likely be able to install a wood burning fire, a stove or a conventional flue gas fire but before you embark on either, ensure that the chimney is checked thoroughly by a qualified professional for safety and suitability. For those modern homes without a chimney – about one third of the UK’s housing stock does not have a built-in chimney, there are other options to suit your needs. Installing a balanced flue system in your property ensures you can burn gas fires efficiently. Otherwise, if you have a plentiful supply of wood, fitting a twin-wall pipe system can enable you to enjoy the flames of a real log fire in your home. Whatever flue outlet you have available, there are numerous models of fires and stoves to choose from.   The Benefits of Wood Burning An increasing number of people want to make a difference to their carbon footprint and burning wood in a modern stove is a carbon lean way to create heat for the home especially if you have purchased your fuel from a local and well managed supply. With wood fuel competitively priced, or even cost-free to those who have their own coppice, this option is an extremely effective way to save money! But a very big draw to wood burning is the stunning focal point it naturally creates and the, possibly unparalleled homely ambience it produces in abundance. That distinctive, comforting smell is for many the scent that captures the imagination and conjures the very concept of cosiness and being at home. For optimum results, we recommend logs should be seasoned for two years or more to achieve a moisture content below 20%. This will not only give twice the output of freshly felled timber but help avoid a build-up of
