West fire manufactures a range of highly functional wood burning stoves that meet the most stringent requirements for environmentally friendly combustion.  Convection stoves heat the air and spread it evenly throughout the room.

Danish Design

The Danes have always had a love for fireplaces and stoves.

Danish-made fireplaces and wood burning stoves build on age-old traditions and excel in terms of both design and functionality.

Since the first energy crises of the 1970s, a number of key manufacturers have developed a reputable line of solid, attractive wood burning stoves, convection stoves and fireplaces.  Focus has been on design solutions, environmental considerations and fuel economy.

Most wood burning stoves and fireplaces are easy to use. They are usually simple to light using a few firelighters, and the heat is often as easily regulated as on a radiator. We recommend using only clean, dry wood in your fireplace or stove, and making sure there is a good supply of oxygen when lit. Burn only small amounts of wood at a time as too much wood can lower the combustion temperature too far.
