There is nothing quite like a warming up in a small cabin with a woodburning stove on the go. 

The metal body of the stove will take a little while to heat up, but once done so, will radiate out and fill all corners.

Not only will they keep you toasty, but will also satisfy that inner desire to tend to a fire!

With cabins, Shepherd's huts, home offices, and glamping units becoming more popular, there has been a rise in interest in installing wood burners as an attractive and functional heating solution. The vast majority of the stoves we sell are designed for regular or larger size rooms and generate a fair amount of heat. The typical stove would be too larger and overpowering. You would generally need a smaller size stove - and some do come with a few optional accessories to add to both the usefulness and charm.

Before choosing a stove it's important to consider important legal and safety requirements.

It's vital you confirm with your local council what you can and can't use - but whatever the rules state, we would recommend both a DEFRA-approved and Eco Design certified stove. These have been designed to burn much more efficiently than the older stoves and produce much less smoke with a cleaner burn.

With most smaller structures being wooden, it is also extremely important that the correct kit and distances are adhered to. We would always advise getting any work done by a fully qualified HETAS installer rather than a DIY project. Alongside meeting government regulations, safety would be a high priority - even more so in smaller rooms potentially made from more combustible materials.

We should have all the parts your installer would need to complete a full install, including a twin wall flue system. So, let's take a look at the stoves you might wish to consider!

This is a serious contender - this stove both looks and plays the part. It has a nominal 4.5kW output, so packs enough heat for those winter nights and also ticks the boxes of being both DEFRA approved and Eco Design 2022. 

It comes with the following excellent features:

• Stainless steel cooking top for up to 30cm pans
• 86% efficiency and A+ rated
• Output 3.4-5.3kW
• Multi-fuel as standard giving extra versatility.
• Airwash system which helps to keep the glass clean
• Optional heatshield, oven, fiddle rail, and hearth

This stove offers a lot of versatility. The optional heatshield - this greatly increases the installation options and allows this to be fitted closer to walls, as well as increasing safety aspects. You can add a fiddle rail on the top to ensure the pots/pans or kettle is kept in check. Need something more substantial for cooking? Add on an oven! The manufacturer even provides a handy cookbook to get you started. 

This stylish stove is modular system that has an extensive range of options and add ons. You can build on the Core model by adding a Stack, an oven or both!
