Best Wood Burning Stoves in the UK

Are you looking for a nice-looking and functional decoration to your large living room? If yes, no other wood-burning stove will be able to make a statement like the Lincsfire Metheringham. With the dimensions of 630 x 440 x 620 mm and classy design, it's surely one of the most massive and attractive models for big houses and big needs.

Compared to the standard indoor wood burners, it has a 2x more powerful heating element. So, no wonder this stove heats up large spaces quicker and more evenly. To specify, the Lincsfire Metheringham stove has the 13 kW maximum power output and can raise the air temperature by a couple of degrees Celsius almost immediately after ignition.

Speaking about the operating range, it's suitable for areas up to 150 square metres. Take note that this stove is designed to take air for combustion only from the room where it is installed. However, if you'd like to heat other parts of your house, you can attach it to the central heating system (a wood-heating system is required).

Naturally, this large unit can accommodate large logs. It will comfortably fit two 50-cm logs at a time. And owing to the Advanced slow burning technology, you'll get 75.82% burning efficiency with the maximum CO emissions of 0.502%.

Who said wood log burners should necessarily be with a single-window? The Lincsfire 12KW Sudbrooke JA006 is a beautiful double-door model that is perfect for larger spaces. It has a classy look that works amazingly well with practically any style of decor. So, if you hanker after a traditional old-style stove, this black cast-iron model can neatly nestle into a brick fireplace. It looks expensive, feels very substantial, and performs well. Ideal for large, airy living rooms.

This posh stove kicks out a whopping 12kW of heat and can burn not only wood but solid fuel like charcoal (though it's not capable of burning coal). Made with the 510 x 280 x 130-290mm firebox, it takes quite a lot of fuel and gives off a good amount of smoke-free heat. And if you stack the wood logs beautifully, you’ll get an excellent focal point with nice flame patterns in your room. That said, it's also great for outdoor use since it can add warmth and style to any patio or summer house with its double-door design and large-capacity stove.

For the ease of use, the kit includes a heat-resistant glove, ashpan hook, and ashpan itself. A built-in ash pan is a great fire accessory that will collect old ash, making the cleanup chore way easier.

Compared to most other stoves in the sub-£200 price range, the Lincsfire Harmston is an absolute bargain. It's a cute, efficient, well-built and compact stove. Due to its neat design and modest dimensions (395x320x530mm), it would be perfect for small lounges or houses with a small fireplace.

Surely, not only embracing heat attracts users so much. One of the most attractive things about any stove heater is the view of the fire you can watch. And owing to the Super Air wash system implemented in this model, you'll always get the best view of the fire through a clear window. Due to the aforementioned system, the window will never get fogged, clouded, or stained with smoke.

The air-wash system includes a narrow slot on the top (inside the edge of the glass). And through this gap, most of the air is supplied to the fire. This design solution pushes the combustion air to sweep down between the glass and the fire. As a result, soot just can't stick to the glass. Simply put, the Super Air wash system involves drawing the air over the window, keeping the smoke and exhaust gasses away from the glass - it traps them in the stove burn chamber. Therefore, the glass of this stove will stay clear for weeks even with 24/7 usage.

A clean window will give you more than just a pleasure. It'll let you see at a glance when it’s time to refuel or whether you need to adjust the fuel load.

The Royal Fire Cast Iron Multifuel Stove is another neat and compact appliance that can suit just any confined space. At 38 x 33 x 53 cm (W x L x H), it has a small footprint and can fit pretty much anywhere. Made of solid cast iron, it also looks very attractive and well-built, so we believe it'll not only blend nicely with any decor but also serve you for long years to come.

Despite being so small, the Royal Fire stove is a quite mighty one with up to 5.5kW heat output. It can burn fuel so efficiently since it's fitted with a reliable air vent system. It also supports most types of fuel and can burn wood logs, charcoal, and other types of smokeless fuel, except for coal that may damage the stove and potentially cause a health risk.

Best of all, this wood burning stove offers two flue positions. It comes completed with top and rear holes that can accept any 12.7-cm flue. So, depending on your personal preferences or your building layout, you'll be able to connect the flue at either the top or the rear of the stove.

Also, the Royal Fire stove comes with brass handles for easy transportation and a removable ash pan for convenient cleaning. It's also made with a durable glass window that can let you enjoy your time by the fire and protect you from sparks. Assembly of the whole thing is quick and simple, yet take note that there may be an odd smell at first that goes away after a couple of uses.

What we have here is another good stove by Lincsfire. The Saxilby multifuel model is a well-balanced model that is neither too tiny nor too bulky. It has just the right size to fit into a medium-sized living room. And taking into account the fact that it has an optional front or top outlets, the stove can be easily adjusted in any position.

It's small enough to fit on a hearth in front of the smallest of chimney openings so as to vent outside Carbon Monoxide poisoning gases. However, take note that you'll need a flue liner and a heatproof hearth for connection. The unit comes with 5-cm fitting for attaching the flue (the flue pipe isn't included).

Overall, the unit is well-constructed and easy to clean. It has the Super airwash system, prevents smoke from escaping and nails in the wood from falling through to the ash pan. So, daily cleaning and operational tasks will be quite straightforward and quick.

Unlike previous models from the Lincsfire lineup, this one is produced from new high-quality cast iron (Grey iron #18) that has a longer lifespan and very good damping capacity. The unit boasts full cast construction with inner cast lining that seems to be ultra-reliable.
