Gallery Stoves From Capital Fireplaces
All our cleanburn stoves are made of cast iron or steel and are constructed for durability and maximum heat and retain heat long after the fire has diminished. They are designed with large glass windows so that that all the flames are visible and are equipped with air wash systems to keep the glass clean. Wood is a better fuel for a stove from a environmental aspect. The amount of carbon dioxide released into the air through burning is approximately the same as the tree absorbed during its growth which results in the term Carbon Neutral. Wood is also a renewable source as most is now supplied from managed woodlands. They are manufactured from cast iron, therefore it is vital that appliances undergo a period of burning in, this envoles small fires initially, gradually increasing in size with each firing, if this process is adhered to you should experience years of trouble free, enjoyable use.
Important Stove Information
* Ensure the chimney is of the correct size and height for the stove.
* Always read user instructions prior to initially using the stove.
* Only burn “seasoned” wood that has been stored in the dry for a minimum of two years and has a moisture content below 20%. This will give you up to twice the heat output of freshly felled timber and greatly reduces tar build up in the flue.
* Do not overload the stove.
* Avoid burning household rubbish as this can give off harmful gasses and will reduce the stoves performance.
* Make sure that the stove meets the relevant emissions for the district in which it is to be used.
* Please note the fitting of a CO (Carbon Monoxide) alarm is now a building regulations requirement for a stove installation, we stock these as standard and can be added to your order by clicking the add the carbon monoxide detector on the screen.

Some of our Defra approved products are capable of burning both kiln dried wood and anthracite in smoke control areas, a dual fuel use most cleanburn products cannot offer.

What Is The Airwash System On The Stove?
A stove with an airwash system will tend to have a cleaner more see through window. In non airwash stoves tar is deposited on the window when fuel is burnt (especially wood) darkening the stove glass or making it black. Airwash stoves take in air from above the stove window and pass or 'wash' it over the surface of the window. This helps keeps the flames and gasses in the stove off the window itself as there is a layer of air protecting it, therefore less tar is deposited keeping the window cleaner.
