Wood burners have been the subject of many criticisms in recent years, as it has been proven that they contribute to tiny sooty particles in the air called PM2.5 which has been linked to heart and lung problems. However, the latest models that are made to meet the Eco design Regulations are much less likely to create these particles. They're only a tiny portion of the overall pollution generated by burning fossil fuels like gas and coal, however there is no doubt that wood stoves are the main source of this pollution.

It is important to choose the correct cheap wood burners for the stove to ensure the best efficiency of heat and combustion. There are a variety of wood types that can be used, including eucalyptus and ash. Eucalyptus, which is fast-burning and also produces lots of heat, is an excellent option. However, it must be well-seasoned. Beech is another good choice, but its vicious thorns make it difficult to handle without protective gloves.

In fact, some groups are calling for much tighter restrictions and even a ban on stoves that burn wood, so it's worth reading our guide to stove pollution and regulations before you go shopping for new log fires or a multifuel burner.

Arada Stoves is one company that is doing its part to keep woodburners popular. They have released a widescreen version for their popular Holborn Multifuel/Wood Burning Stove.

There's a choice of two flue adaptors (standard or pre-fabricated) depending on the chimney type you have, and it's equipped with a remote control.

Wood-burning stoves can create a wonderful atmosphere in our homes regardless of whether they're good for health. However, it is important to consider the negative effects of particulate matter as well as how burning wood burning fire or other forms of fuel can affect the quality of indoor air as well as health. If you're planning to install a woodburner, it is recommended that you keep the door closed when you're not in the vicinity of the fire and regularly clean the stove to ensure the air is as healthy as possible.
