There is nothing quite like coming home to a roaring real fire, especially on a cold winters night !
Multi-Fuel & Wood Burning Stoves are very efficient, typically 75%+, whereas an open coal fire is approximately just 25% efficient meaning 75% of the heat generated by an open fire goes straight up and out of the chimney!
Burning wood is not only a great source of heat but 'Carbon Neutral' too. Unlike coal or peat, burning wood produces no more carbon than what the tree absorbed from the atmosphere when it was living!
