Common Stove & Chimney Questions

Find answers to some of the questions we’re regularly asked about stove installations, chimney repairs, flue systems, service areas and related work. If you need more advice, please get in touch and we’ll be happy to help.

How Do You Use a Wood Burning Stove?

Start by opening the air vents and placing kindling with a firelighter inside the stove. Light the kindling, then add small dry logs once the flame is established. As the fire grows, add larger logs and adjust the air controls to manage the burn. Always use dry seasoned or kiln-dried wood for the best results.

Can You Have a Log Burner Without a Chimney?

Yes. Many homes without a chimney can still have a log burner fitted using a twin wall insulated flue system. This usually runs internally through the roof or externally up an outside wall. A professional installer can advise the best route for your property.

Can You Have a TV Above a Log Burner?

Yes, but it needs careful planning. Heat from the stove can damage electronics if the TV is too close or not protected. A mantel shelf or heat shield is often used to deflect rising heat. Always follow the stove manufacturer’s clearance guidance.

What Size Log Burner Do I Need?

The right size depends on room size, insulation levels, ceiling height and layout. As a rough guide, smaller rooms may need a 4–5kW stove, while larger open-plan spaces may need more.

A stove that is too large can overheat the room. Too small, and it may struggle in winter.

Will a Log Burner Heat the Whole House?

Usually, a single stove mainly heats the room it sits in and nearby areas. Some heat may travel upstairs or through open spaces, but it rarely heats a whole house evenly unless connected to a boiler or back boiler system.

How Do Log Burner Fans Work?

Most stove fans sit on top of the stove and use heat to power themselves. As the stove warms up, the fan blades begin to turn automatically. They help move warm air around the room more evenly. No batteries or plug socket are normally required.

Can You Put a Log Burner in a Conservatory?

Yes, in many cases. It depends on floor strength, ventilation, safe clearances and whether a suitable flue route is possible. Conservatories can work very well with a stove, especially in winter when they are often underused.

What Can You Burn in a Log Burner? What Is the Best Wood for Log Burners?

The best option is dry seasoned hardwood or kiln-dried logs with low moisture content. Popular choices include:

Ash
Oak
Beech
Birch
Hornbeam

Softwoods like pine can be used if dry, but they burn faster.

You should avoid wet wood, painted timber, treated wood, MDF, rubbish, or household waste.

Some appliances can also burn smokeless fuels, but only if the stove is designed for it.

Can You Use Coal in a Log Burner or Wood Stove?

Not always. Many wood-only stoves are designed for logs and should not burn house coal. Using the wrong fuel can damage the stove and reduce lifespan.

If you want to burn coal or smokeless fuel, you usually need a multi-fuel stove. Always check the manufacturer’s guidance or contact us for assistance.

How Hot Does a Log Burner Get?

The stove body can become extremely hot, often several hundred degrees Celsius. The glass, handle area and flue pipe can also become dangerously hot during use. Room temperatures vary depending on stove size and output, but the heat can be substantial. Always use gloves, guards and safe clearances around children or pets.
