Wood Burning Stoves and their positive impact on the environment
Evening,
Well, we have made it through the long, 5 week blues of January, I hope your stoves and fires have kept your homes warm and bright.
I read a very good article this week from the Stove Industry Alliance (click to read)
Here are the take home messages:
1. Wood burning Stoves could contribute 10% to the Governments carbon reduction targets by 2020
2. Wood burning stoves could contribute 25% to the Renewable Heat Initiative targets by 2020
3. Stoves only emit 0.008 kg CO2 per kwh versus 1.198 kg/kw for gas and a surprising 0.517 kg/kw for electricity (This number will be changing all the time as renewable sources of electricity increase)
They then make a very reasoned argument for upgrading your stove, as the technologies are progressing with cleaner and more efficient burning properties.,(they would, they are selling stoves :))
All in all though, I think we can all feel warm and fuzzy that we are doing our bit for the environment.
Whilst talking about the ecological issues around wood burning I have a blog post here and in case you haven’t read it yet, here is our Timber Sourcing Policy
An update on our Trustpilot
After opening up for reviews last week, we are ever so grateful to those who have taken the time to give us a review, see them here
If you haven’t already left us a review, we would be very appreciative if you could do so.
As you can see from the reviews, we have already seen a couple of pointers to help streamline and improve our services.
On the firewood front, our Kiln Dried Pine is still on special, now only £159.20 for a Giant Net (equivalent to 3 standard builders bags), I have recently received a couple of glowing reports for this product, it is doing very well for some clients, grab yours here at this extra low price:
Keep warm, and we will talk soon,
Cheers
Angus
