An Efficient and Reliable Heat Source

Keddy say that they love cast iron material.  Most manufacturers will tell you that their products are durable and resistant, which Keddy do too – but they genuinely seem besotted with cast iron. Keddy’s instagram page is literally aching with Scandi Hygge.

Referencing their Swedish Iron art heritage they applaud the materials ability to adapt to extreme changes in temperature and function as an efficient heat conductor with fast heating and long cooling times. This probably explains why Keddy make their stoves with a cast iron core.  With these highest quality materials they believe they create effective and reliable heat sources, and back that up with a 20 year warranty on all cast iron parts.

We have the 815 stove on live display in grey.

FORM AND FUNCTION IN A BEAUTIFUL INTERPLAY

For Keddy, design is more than a beautiful form. It is as much about getting the most heat out of each wooden log and to make it easy for you. Because stoves are a both practical and a decorative interior detail. All elements must interact for the results to be the best. By combining modern design, innovative technology and Swedish cast iron tradition Keddy create fireplaces unlike any other. A stove from Keddy warms “both your body and your mind”.

So, they build stoves that are built to last, and hold the wear and tear of time. What’s not to love?  Pop into the showroom to find out more.  If you can read Swedish, head over to their website.

If you live in a designated Smoke Control Area, the Clean Air Act prevents you from emitting smoke from your chimney. However, Parkray fires are not like ordinary stoves. You can use all Parkray stoves to burn well seasoned logs, even if you live in a Smoke Control Area.

The built- in technology ensures that emissions are consistently low. Modern Parkray models are supremely efficient; reaching maximum output of 11kw and some models even have the option to add a boiler, great news for everyone looking for performance and economy.

The Aspect 5 is DEFRA approved, features a large viewing window and no air brick is required on installation.  Options include multifuel pack, black chrome and stainless steel handles. The stove requires a 5 inch flue collar and utilises Parkray’s Tripleburn technology and hot airwash system to keep the glass clean.

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.

Apple Pie stoves by Ekol

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 gorgeous Baked Apple Stack from Ekol is now on live display in our showroom, complete with apple pie. Yum!

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.

Why do I need a log carrier?

WHY DO I NEED A LOG CARRIER?

Usually in the form of a canvas bag or sling, a log carrier can make the chore of getting in the logs quicker and cleaner.

If you don’t want to buy a sling you could try using heavy duty large carrier bags, or even re-use the plastic bags from kiln dried logs.

J DAY STONEWORKS EXPERTS RATING – 2/5 – Useful but not essential for most stove users.

A log basket or holder near a fireplace is always a good idea. Some stoves have integral log holders, which are very handy.

It’s not a good idea to stack wood directly next to a stove if it’s not in a properly designed holder; wood is combustable, and that process is unpredictable. The outside surfaces of stoves are too hot to touch with your hands, so avoid stacking next to them. Smoldering logs could ignite at any time.
