Checking the moisture content of your wood before you burn is an important step towards reducing particulate emissions and more efficient burning.

For the best performance, wood logs should always be below 20% moisture content and 10-15% is ideal.

We had a fantastic day yesterday at The 2026 Stove & Fireplace Show (Trade Only) at Doncaster racecourse 🪵🔥🪵.
It was the first Trade show in 7 years so long overdue.

We met lots of our current suppliers, it was lovely to see lots of old faces and meet some new ones.

There was every style of stove from traditional through to modern / contemporary stoves on display. Bristol stoves have a fabulous budget friendly contemporary stove on offer for the more cost conscious project.

There are some very exciting new innovative products out there including a prototype by Hunter Stoves Group of a virtually zero emission stove soon to be launched on the market. Hunter have such a fantastic range of stoves, most interestingly their partnership with the new BLAZE HARMONY stove which offers patented technology that transforms the stove from a simple interior object to a fully functional heating system.

If heating your whole home and producing hot water is what you need look no further than Ecco Stove which offer a great alternative to the traditional boiler stove and is the only one of it’s kind on the market.

Great to see so many British 🇬🇧 made stoves on display, great to meet Thornhill Eco Range Cookers handmade in Kent, Chilli Penguin Stoves 🥶🐧 who are local to us & made in Pwllheli North Wales 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿, plus of course chat with our favourite Irish 🇮🇪 Henley Stoves - Multi Fuel Stoves - Ireland Stoves.

Welcome to RIKA who are currently launching their range of quality Austrian 🇦🇹 stoves to the British market, including a combination wood burning / pellet stove.

There are lots of exciting new bioethanol and electric options on the Stove market too if solid fuel isn’t for you, in particular Calfire Spareline new recently launched “Toaste” range.

As always we are here to offer whatever Fireplace, Chimney and Stove advise you need, so please give us a call on 01244 660917 and we would be more than happy to help you 🤩🔥🪵😊.

We were asked to help a customer who had a stove fitted a few years ago by another company and it wasn’t producing any heat, no matter how much wood & coal they used on it.

Infact they had been struggling to keep warm 🥶 this winter which is not what you should experience after having a stove fitted correctly.

We like our customers to be warm & cosy here at A&L Parry, so we had to take a look at it & do something about it 🔥🔥.

At the survey it was clear that the opening which had been made for the stove was far too small, therefore any heat produced was being trapped in the recess and not radiating out into the room.

Plus the stove they had was not big enough for the room, so we chose an Irish made Henley stove to give the room some real heat & style.

We started work to rectify this by removing the original stove & liner, and carrying out works to make the recess bigger.

When our chimney engineer opened up we were shocked to find out exactly how bad the original installation was……..

1. The beam was fitted next the liner with no fire protection in between, so there evidence of charring / heat damage on the beam which was at high risk of combusting & setting on fire which would have caused major damage to the property or even worse consequences ⚠️‼️

2. There was plastic wrapping next to the liner, another fire hazard ⚠️ ‼️

3. There was no concrete lintel / structural support in the chimney just a void, so nothing was taking the weight of the chimney. The whole weight of the chimney was resting on the edges of the cosmetic beam!! ⚠️‼️
There was evidence of minor cracks in the chimney breast wall, demonstrating that the chimney was suffering structurally.
Luckily we got there in time to rectify this before any major structural damage was caused.

4. The CO2 alarm was faulty & not working correctly ⚠️‼️

5. The fireplace recess had been lined with plasterboard not fireboard, another significant fire hazard ⚠️ ‼️

We were able to rectify all the above issues and fit a new Henleys Willow 6.7 kw Multifuel stove and liner, making this installation completely safe and leaving our customers a lot warmer 🪵🔥🪵.

Our customers can’t believe how much more of the fire 🔥 they can see with the Henley Willow stove compared with their previous stoves where they struggled to see any.

The Willow really is an impressive design that looks amazing and is a real feature in any room.

All our work is carried out to currrent building regulation standards and comes with either HETAS or NICEIC certification.

We have left the customers toasty warm and very happy indeed.

If you have a stove which isn’t producing any heat, smoking in the room, not working as it should or if you just want us to check your stove installation out, please give us a ring on 01244 660917 and we will send our senior engineer out to have a look at it for you 👍🤩.

Sometimes it's nice to have a change and fit something a bit different.

This customer chose to have a Limestone surround & slips, Herringbone formation brick chamber & polished slate hearth with Clearview Pioneer 400 Multifuel stove.

One very happy customer and lovely fireplace which has made a real difference to the room 🪵🔥🪵.

If you have any fireplace design ideas or inspirations, give us a call on 01244 660917 & we would be more than happy to help you.
