Apple Pie and Peanut Stoves by Ekol

Apple Pie and Peanut Stoves by Ekol

The Apple Pie stoves by Ekol. Whether it be for a boat, yurt, glamping pod, shepherd’s hut or just a compact fireplace, ‘Apple Pie’ can be adapted and customised to suit. With its very low distance to combustibles this stove is ideal for small spaces.

The central stove can be paired with lots of options to make your Apple Pie suit your requirements, from stands and metal surrounds to pizza shelves and baking ovens.

Ekol have gone to town on their Apple associations too. With a base unit stand, it’s called an Apple Pie Stack, with a top oven it’s called a Baked Apple Pie. With both, it’s called a Baked Apple Stack.  All this talk of pies made us hungry so we thought we should channel our inner Mary Berry and give it a go! It evenly baked this Apple Pie in about 25 minutes. Yummy.

The Apple Pie is the ‘Swiss Army Knife’ of wood burning stoves. It features individual styling and multiple cooking options including stainless cooktop, top baking oven, pan supports to one or both sides as well as griddle plate and pizza shelf inside.

Amongst an elite handful of small-space stoves fully compliant with DEFRA and Ecodesign 2022 it can be used to burn wood anywhere in the UK.

With full cast iron construction and weighing in heavier than many stoves more than twice its size, it really is built to last.

Primary, Secondary and Tertiary air are intuitively controlled by a single air control and with extra large window, enthusiastic fire-starters and chefs can easily monitor their creations.

From the Apple Pie range we have an Apple Core, in charcoal grey and a Baked Apple Stack with Mojave Red Doors.

From the Peanut range we have the Big Nut 5 in the Showroom.

From the Clarity range we have a Clarity 5 with a hand burnished door.

Available in multiple colour options and configurations, including wooden or stainless steel handles. Pop into the showroom to see the Baked Apple Stack in action, we also have the compact Apple Pie on show. Check out the manufacturer’s website here.

Don’t know your half bullnose from a bevelled edge?  Don’t worry. Check out our handy guide to stone edges below.

 

Edges of a slab or tile can feature diverse smoothness and finishes depending on the manner they are being cut. Edges make a significant difference to the overall appearance of structures architecture.

There is no doubt that slabs and tiles featuring fine edges can enhance the appearance of flooring, ceiling, or any other aspect of the structure’s interior and exterior look. As members of the guild of master craftsmen we take great care in all our bespoke stone projects.

Di Lusso Stoves

Di Lusso Stoves

J Day Stoneworks stock Di Lusso stoves, the premier brand of the UK manufacturer Hunter Stoves.

Despite their Italian sounding name they are designed and manufactured in the UK.  The main reason we decided to add Di Lusso to the range of stoves we sell is the superb controllability of the fires.  They burn very efficiently across the whole output range, allowing for slow but clean combustion.

Available as both freestanding and inset versions, they can be specified with a DEFRA kit allowing woodburning in smoke control areas, and all models can be used with a Direct Air kit if required.

Another unusual feature is the minimalist design, cleverly concealing the air controls behind the discreet centrally positioned door handle.  There are no protruding handles or control knobs on this range of stoves, just sleek, efficient design.

The unique Di Lusso Dynamic Control technology was developed to create a range of convector fires that can burn effectively and efficiently at both low and high temperatures – something no other fire on the market can do – ensuring that whatever size your room, big or small, there is a Di Lusso stove to suit your needs.

This innovative thinking combined with the sleek, stylish look of the Di Lusso stoves range makes this one of the most sought-after fires available. Sitting flush to the wall or freestanding and offering beautifully clear viewing glass, the Di Lusso fits effortlessly into your home, bringing any room alive with the beauty of natural flame.

The Hunter Stoves Group are committed to the research and development of stove technologies that are highly efficient in order to provide ‘green’ heating for the 21st century.

The increasing depletion of fossil fuels means that advancements in this technology are becoming ever more important. The Hunter Stoves Group recognise this and their products are increasingly meeting these demands, keeping them at the forefront of the market. As a business they have also lowered carbon emissions, most notably at their Cornwall factory which is powered by solar panels.
