Woodburning and Multi-fuel stoves

With its origins in the iron foundries of Victorian Sheffield, Redfyre cooking ranges, grates and room heating products have been providing a comforting glow to homes throughout Britain, Ireland and the Commonwealth for many decades. Today, that tradition continues with the introduction of the company's Kensal range of woodburning and multi-fuel stoves.

As you would expect from such a heritage, these latest stoves are robust, practical and efficient, with a construction that combines the very best attributes or iron and steel. So the heavy gauge steel firebox is complemented by airtight cast iron doors and durable cast iron fittings.

And in the case of the multi-fuel models, a rotating grate that can be riddled from outside the stove to improve combustion.

The stoves also, quite naturally, incorporate a powerful Airwash system and up-to-the-minute Cleanburn technology. Airwash makes a stream of air flush down the inside of the window thus helping to keep it as cleanas possible for a better view if the fire, whilst Cleanburn is a specially designed feature to create a more efficient heat output from your fuel - saving you both time and money.

Every Kensal stove has been meticulously developed to burn wood or smokeless fuels with equal proficiency and carries the CE mark.

Logs are better in environmental terms as the quantity of carbon dioxide released into the atmosphere is similar to that absorbed by the tree during growth. It is also a renewable resource, particularly when derived from plantations and cultivated woodland. 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.

In country areas, Kensal stoves have been 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 have a large garden or spinney or you are a farmer, smallholder or a country landowner, your fuel could even be free!
