Wonders Of Wood

I have spent countless weeks looking into the wonders of wood, as a main source of fuel for our barn renovation.

We do not have the luxury of being on a mains gas, and in fact oil (even through prices have gone up) is marginally cheaper. A cubic meter of wood will provide approximately the same amount of heat as 150 litres of oil. If a house required 3000 litres of oil a year this would be about 20 cubic meters of wood. By Switching to wood from oil you would save 1,300euros!

Wood is a major source of renewable heat energy, and burnt efficiently, it produces virtually no smoke and no acid rain. So is burning wood good for the environment? Here at naturecounts.com we have found out that the impact of wood burning on the environment is in 3 forms; smoke pollution outdoors, indoor air pollution, and the impact on the health of the forest. It comes down to being responsible which is not such a complicated task. The motto is simple!

Burn sustainably harvested, properly processed and seasoned fuel in an advanced combustion stove or fireplace that is vented through a chimney that runs straight up through the building.

Go for a Wood Burning Stove. Naturecounts.com have reviewed a number of stoves and we rate the Firebelly FB2. We chose it for its contemporary look but it's also highly efficient generating 78+%. with an impressive nominal output of 12kW, making it suited to the medium and large sized room. This will fuel our central heating and domestic hot water .

A log burning range cooker is undoubtedly an environmentally friendly idea but in order for such a product to integrate into any modern household it has to be clean, low maintenance and easy to live with. ESSE & Rayburn are the 2 leaders for log burning cookers and you can find out more about them on our site naturecounts.com

They work by the heat from the the burner flowing around the outside of the ovens through a series of heavily insulated flueways. This heat is then transferred quickly to the interior through super-conductive Thermacast oven walls. The gentle heat will not dry out your food, for meats you actually find it seals the juices and flavors in more compared to a electric or gas oven. The ovens are vented so you can cook sweet and savory foods together, without impairing flavors.

This is one of the latest wood burning cookers from ESSE. ESSE have been making traditional range cookers and stoves since 1854 They offer woodfired stoves and cookers.

The Heatranger 300 from Rayburn (Aga) is similar in size to the 200 Series but with a larger hotplate and increased depth to match standard 600mm kitchen units. It is designed to give you the choice of central heating, hot water and cooking or cooking with piping hot water.

Our naturecounts.com top tip is burn DRY wood! The best way to dry wood is to;
* Cut trees in winter for next winters fuel.
* Stack on a sunny site until autumn to become air dry.
* Store under cover, and on a dry surface (e.g. not grass)
* Convert into logs under 10 cm thick and convenient length for stove. Wood is a poor conductor of heat, it burns best if logs are less than 10cm thick.
* Bring logs indoors a few weeks before use to become house dry
