Burley Stoves say this about their great Fireball range of wood burning stoves:
"The Burley Fireball range of wood burning stoves featuring Thornhill Thermal Technology is the result of thousands of hours of prototyping and designing, based and inspired on over 100 years of experience in the heating industry.
Designed, developed and manufactured in the United Kingdom, the Burley range boasts advances which result in clean burning and unsurpassed fuel efficiency . This is made possible by the patent pending Fireball method of introducing air. The flame picture created when burning by this method is so impressive that to do it justice the largest possible glass door was developed".
An extended base is available for all models. This is the perfect accompaniment for stand alone installations where height needs to be emphasised. Cleverly, the base also doubles as an area for storing logs. This item is a separate component and fits to the standard height stove.
Burley Stoves offer advice on room sealing:
"Where it is possible, it always pays to room seal a stove. The average chimney will drag all the warm air from a room once every single hour. All models can be room sealed through an outside wall to completely eliminate this heat loss. This can add up to 50% efficiency. The majority of wood burners draw their air from the room, often through vents at the bottom or top of the door.
Whilst this is a very simple and cheap method, it is also very inefficient and results in relatively poor combustion. Drawing air from the front of the fire for combustion means that you are dragging large amounts of warm air from the room (which you have already paid to heat) and losing it to the chimney. This is replaced by cold air from outside, creeping around windows and under doors, chilling your living room".
