FAQs

Wood burning stoves are perfectly safe if installed and used correctly. You can also have your stove regularly serviced and cleaned by a professional for added peace of mind.

Other safety tips include:

  • Ensuring your stove has been installed properly by a professional. You can find your nearest recommended installer on our authorised dealers page.
  • Ensuring that your stove is installed in accordance with the relevant safety distances. You can also choose to fit your stove with heat shields, and you can read more about this option here.
  • Ensuring that your fire has an adequate air supply for combustion and ventilation.
  • Ensuring your space has working smoke alarms and carbon monoxide alarms.
  • Avoiding the use or storage of aerosols near the appliance whilst it is lit or still hot.
  • Supervising young children and pets, and installing a fireguard if necessary.
  • Never using gasoline, kerosene, charcoal lighter fluid, wrapping paper, or other highly flammable substances, to start or rekindle your fire.

Wood burning stoves boast exceptional energy efficiency ratings, making them a fantastic option for heating your home or space. Good quality stoves should be around 80% efficient, meaning that 80% of the heat emitted from the stove is being used to heat the room.

Wood is also a renewable and sustainable type of fuel. If we continue to plant more trees, then burning wood has the potential to be a carbon-neutral/carbon-negative source of energy for many generations to come.

We also fund the planting of three trees for every stove that we sell, and 20% of every Hobbit stove is made from recycled cast iron. You can read more about this on the page for our tree planting scheme.

We do not carry out any fittings ourselves, but we have an extensive network of suppliers and installers across the UK who can provide you with excellent advice and assistance regarding the purchase and installation of your Hobbit StoveHobbit SE, or your Little Range Cook Stove.

For more information about fitting your stove, have a look at our authorised dealers page for a list of our recommended stockists and installers. You can also find some useful documents in our help section. If you have any questions about your installation, then do not hesitate to contact us.
