Make better use of your fuel

Intelligent combustion control helps maintain the right airflow as your logs burn, reducing avoidable fuel wastage.

Let the stove manage airflow

Automatic adjustments respond to the fire, helping you maintain a controlled burn without continually moving air controls.

Enjoy a simpler routine

You still load and light a real wood fire. The technology helps take care of the combustion control.

What makes a stove intelligent?

A real fire.
A smarter way to enjoy it.

A manually controlled stove relies on you to adjust its air supply. An intelligent stove uses sensors and automatic controls to respond as the fire develops.

By managing the air entering the firebox, it helps the wood burn efficiently throughout the burn cycle. That is where the everyday benefit lies: better control, less guesswork and easier operation.

Fuel use still depends on your stove, logs, chimney and how much heat you need. We will help you choose the right appliance for your home.

Your questions answered

Getting to know intelligent stoves.

Will an intelligent stove use less wood?

Automatic air control helps optimise combustion and reduce avoidable fuel wastage. Actual fuel consumption depends on the model, the logs you use, the chimney and your heat requirements. We do not promise a fixed saving or burn time.

Do I need to use an app?

The app is one way to access settings and information. Both ranges offer automatic combustion control; the controls and features differ by model. We can show you how each works and help you choose the approach you prefer.

Can I replace my existing stove?

We can assess your existing fireplace, chimney or flue during a home survey and advise on the work required for a suitable replacement. We offer a complete supply and installation service.

What should I book first?

A home survey helps us understand your property and installation requirements. A showroom appointment gives you time to discuss the appliances, finishes and controls with our team. Either is a useful starting point.
