Wood is a renewable resource that is carbon neutral
Woodburning & solid fuels
Every Wamsler model available from Redfyre Cookers is capable of burning logs, coal or smokeless fuels using the latest cleanburn technology.
Wood is better in environmental terms as the amount of carbon dioxide released into the atmosphere is the same as that absorbed by the tree during growth. It is also a renewable resource, particularly when derived from plantations and cultivated woodland. Making greener cooking, central heating and hot water a reality For optimum results, we recommend logs should be seasoned for 2 years or more to achieve a moisture content below 20%. This will not only give twice the output of freshly felled timber but help avoid a build up of tar in your flue. Furthermore, if you can obtain hardwood logs this is better still, as they will have around twice the calorific value of softwoods.
Anthracite, manufactured smokeless fuels and peat turfs/briquettes can all be burnt in Wamsler appliances as each firebox incorporates a grate with a riddling facility. Using the riddling device allows cinders and ashes from such fuels to drop into the ashpan below and create the best conditions for efficient combustion.
In rural areas, Wamsler's Central Heating Cookers and Central Heating Boilers have a particular advantage as they allow homeowners to burn readily available log supplies from local sources, rather than look to increasingly expensive oil or LPG equivalents. Indeed, if you are a farmer, smallholder or country landowner your fuel could even be free!
In fact, if you live in the countryside, Wamsler makes greener cooking, central heating and domestic hot water a truly practical proposition.
