Give a Warm Welcome this Christmas

It feels like winter has arrived with temperatures set to cool over the next few weeks, with blustering gales and plenty of the wet stuff. So, make sure you are ready to welcome your guests this festive season with a warm and inviting wood burning fire.

To ensure you’re ready take a look at these simple steps –

1 – Choose your Wood Burner
Whether you want a traditional cast iron stove for an old cottage or a contemporary designer piece for a new build house the choice of stoves is fantastic. Take a trip to a local showroom, get local expert advice and choose the stove to best suit your needs and home.

2 – Chimneys (not just for Santa)
Once you’ve chosen your stove you will also have to think about your chimney – does it need relining for example? Perhaps the whole fireplace area needs remodelling? Get the professionals in to talk through your options.

3 – Stock up on Firewood
Once your wood burner has been installed by a professional, ensure to keep a ready supply of good firewood, enabling your stove to give out more heat and less tar, meaning greater heat efficiency and less smoke.

4 – Light the stove before opening presents
There’s nothing more festive than opening presents in front of a warm, lit fire. Get everyone to hold tight for a couple of minutes to allow you to light the stove before opening presents, adding a little bit of Christmas magic and tradition.

5 – Sit back and enjoy
Pour yourself a glass of mulled wine, relax in the company of friends and family and enjoy the warmth and comfort of your wood burning stove.

If you’ve not yet thought about a wood burning stove, make a commitment that 2014 will be your last Christmas without one!
