We believe that defra approved pellet stoves, hugely popular on the continent, are due to "happen" in the UK. Pellet stoves offer a level of control not possible with log-burning stoves. Automatic feeding of pellets, remote control, automatic ignition and thermostatic control all combine to make pellet stoves, stoves for the 21st centuary.
We have been cautious about getting involved with pellet stoves until now as there has not been the level of knowledge or support in the UK for us to feel confident. The entry of Euroheat, probably the UK's top stove importer, into the pellet stove market means that there is a new level of professionalism and pellet stoves cease to be something of a gamble.
Based in Oldham, Lancashire, bordering Manchester, Cheshire, Derbyshire and Yorkshire, we are ideally placed for installations in the North West.
 
How a defra approved Pellet Stove Works:
  • Pellets are loaded into the hopper (1). This can hold enough pellets for up to 72 hrs, depending on model
  • Pellets are carried up by an Archimedes Screw (2) at a metered rate to the Delivery Chute (3)
  • They are fed down the Delivery Chute into the Burn Chamber (4).
  • Air is driven into the Burn Chamber by the, adjustable, fan driven Air Feed Tube (5).
  • Due to the efficient manor in which a pellet stove burns, very little ash drops into the removeable Ash Pan (6) for emptying every few days.
  • Hot flue gasses rise up through the efficient heat exchanger before being mechanically extracted via the exhaust (7).

Modern pellet stoves are super-efficient, clean, reliable and controllable, even by mobile phone from the office.
