Choosing the right wood for your woodburning stove!
Q
Comments (0)
So you chose to install a wood burning stove, and you dream of curling up in front of it with a soft fluffy blanket, a good book, and maybe some wine. It has been installed, serviced and is ready to go. You have been told how to turn it on and off, how to take care of the fire and how to ensure your home remains smoke free. There is just one little problem. You have no idea what kind of wood to burn. Here at Hearth of the Home we have put together a basic guide to get you started and on the right track. The most important factor you need to learn is the difference between a good burning log and a bad burning log. When wood is cut down its cells are full of water, this is called “green wood”. When you burn this the wood wastes heat by making steam and producing tar which creates lots of smoke whilst damaging your stove and chimney. In order to avoid this, logs must be “seasoned”- dried out to a maximum of 15-20% water- which involves splitting them to expose the insides and leaving them in a well-ventilated dry place for about a year. This log will then give roughly double the heat per kg and will produce far less smoke. A good way to test whether a log is good for burning or not is: -- Good Wood Will feel dry Will have a hollow sound when tapped Will usually be free from bark Often has cracks in the end where it has dried out Will burn easily and cleanly Will usually have been split Will usually measure about 100-200mm across -- Bad Wood May feel damp or dense, have moss or mould. Will have a dull sound when tapped May have bark firmly attached May be solid and free from radial cracks May be round, possible with leaves attached. Will hiss, spit and smoke when burned May be in big pieces There are two ways of you getting seasoned wood to use in your new stove. The first way is to do this yourself, make sure you have a suitable area where they can stay dry, and remember that it will take a very long time before they are ready. The second is to buy it from a good log supplier, the best way to find this is to go through an accreditation scheme such as Woodsure. This is an audit of whether the logs are really as dry as the supplier claims, making sure you do not get ripped off.

have a dilemma what tiles to put above the induction stove to make it
Q

You have such clean lines in that kitchen, that I can see why you are hesitating at adding a traditional tile treatment to that section of the wall behind your induction range top. I would take a different approach, keeping in mind the sleekness of the induction top as well as the rest of your kitchen. It looks as if you don't have a ventilation fan and that you're planning on putting a light over the induction top?? Regardless, I would put a framed mirror there which would reach from the back lip of the countertop up to the height of the top of your window, and as wide as the induction top. Having them the same width will make the mirror feel as if it's balancing off the induction top. The frame could be a metal finish perhaps. I would hang it off two supports so it will stay level, and it would be removable for intensive cleaning if required. Otherwise a quick spritz should keep it looking pretty good. If I were doing this, I would be working with my custom mirror company so I could get exactly the size I want and the right frame. The second photo below shows a piece of stainless steel that's been mounted on the wall. It's also very sleek looking, but I think it would be harder to keep clean than a mirror. What do you think?

Fireplace/Stove - restore or remove? (Advice please)
Q

Hi Jane, Thank you so much for your thoughts. I've also been discussing this with quite a few people - everyone thinks I should keep the range and do my best to refurbish it. So, my plan now is to speak to more local antique dealers to see if they have missing pieces to help me build this back together. I've also spoken to a fantastic place in England called Antique Fireplaces & Ranges (http://www.antiquefireplacesandranges.com/) and they've given me tips on how I can clean and bring out the beauty in this piece with some iron paste called Black Lead. They also suggested making the missing pieces (if they cannot be sourced) with a local theatrical company that makes props for sets. This is a very reasonable idea given that I never intend to use the range other than as a feature piece. Thanks again, Jane and have a Happy New Year!

For the chefs out there, compare gas tops and smooth stove tops. I am thinking of aesthetic and safety and does it make that much of a difference in the end result ?
