As the seasons change, spending time outdoors becomes more challenging in colder climates. However, with the Fiesta Garden Stove by Vesta Stoves, you can transform your outdoor space into a cozy haven, making the most of every moment, even in the chilliest weather. In this article, we’ll explore the advantages of heating outdoor spaces with the Fiesta Garden Stove and highlight why it surpasses electric and gas patio heaters in both efficiency and ambiance.

Efficient and Powerful Heat Output

One of the key advantages of the Fiesta Garden Stove is its ability to provide efficient and powerful heat output, making it a superior choice for outdoor heating. Unlike electric heaters that may struggle to produce sufficient warmth in colder temperatures, the Fiesta Garden Stove utilizes the time-tested method of burning wood, delivering a substantial and consistent source of heat. This ensures that your outdoor space remains comfortably warm, allowing you to extend your outdoor gatherings well into the cooler evenings.

Cost-Effective Heating Solution

Electric and gas patio heaters can be expensive to operate, especially over an extended period. The Fiesta Garden Stove offers a cost-effective alternative by utilizing wood as a fuel source. Wood is often more affordable than electricity or gas, making the Fiesta Garden Stove an economical choice for those who want to enjoy a heated outdoor space without breaking the bank. Additionally, the Fiesta Garden Stove’s efficiency means that you get more heat per unit of fuel, further maximizing your cost savings.

Environmentally Friendly Option

Concerns about environmental impact have led many to seek more sustainable heating options. The Fiesta Garden Stove is an environmentally friendly choice, as it relies on the renewable resource of wood. In contrast, electric heaters often depend on electricity generated from non-renewable sources, contributing to a larger carbon footprint. By choosing the Fiesta Garden Stove, you not only reduce your environmental impact but also enjoy the natural ambiance of a wood-burning fire.

Ambiance and Aesthetics

While electric and gas heaters may provide warmth, they often lack the ambiance that comes with a real flame. The Fiesta Garden Stove not only delivers heat but also creates a captivating focal point for your outdoor space. The dancing flames and the soothing crackle of burning wood add a touch of romance and charm, enhancing the overall atmosphere. The Fiesta Garden Stove transforms your outdoor setting into a cozy retreat, perfect for intimate gatherings or quiet evenings under the stars.

Versatility in Design

The Fiesta Garden Stove by Vesta Stoves is not just a functional heating solution; it’s also a stylish addition to your outdoor decor. With its sleek design and durable construction, the Fiesta Garden Stove seamlessly integrates into various outdoor settings. Electric and gas heaters, on the other hand, often come in standardized designs that may not complement the aesthetic of your space. The Fiesta Garden Stove offers versatility, allowing you to choose a heating solution that aligns with your outdoor style.

Ease of Use and Low Maintenance

The Fiesta Garden Stove is designed for user convenience, offering an easy and straightforward heating solution for your outdoor space. Unlike electric heaters that require a power source or gas heaters that rely on propane tanks, the Fiesta Garden Stove only needs wood and a match to ignite. Additionally, the maintenance of the Fiesta Garden Stove is minimal, with routine cleaning being the primary upkeep requirement. This simplicity contrasts with the more complex maintenance and potential malfunctions that can occur with electric and gas patio heaters.

Conclusion

In the realm of outdoor heating solutions, the Fiesta Garden Stove by Vesta Stoves emerges as a superior choice, offering efficient warmth, cost-effectiveness, environmental sustainability, and unparalleled ambiance. While electric and gas patio heaters have their merits, they often fall short when it comes to creating an authentic outdoor experience. Elevate your outdoor gatherings and make the most of your outdoor space with the Fiesta Garden Stove — a beacon of warmth, style, and functionality that transforms your patio into a year-round retreat.

Wood Burning Stoves for camper Vans

Wood Burning Stoves for camper Vans

Vesta stoves produce a range of small stoves that are perfect for vans. Our Bushmaster stoves are designed specifically for Camper vans and have integral bolt-down points in the feet. As well as being sturdy the stoves are lightweight and suitable to be lugged around.

The Bushmaster has a 3.5kw heat output that is perfect for most vans. We also sell all the necessary stainless steel twin wall flue pipes and accessories to ensure the appliance is fitted safely.

We can also supply a heat shield to ensure an air gap is left behind the stove and there is no risk of damage to surrounding materials.

The bushmaster wood stove also has an integral multi-fuel grate for the burning of coal and peat. With its air control, you can get the bushmaster to the perfect temperature to cook food whilst burning wood. A kettle can be boiled on top of the stove to provide hot water for that much-needed cuppa after a day out.

Installing a wood burner in your campervan is a straightforward job but we are on hand to answer any questions you may have. A Log burner should always be installed with a carbon monoxide detector.

What do you need to install a stove in a campervan?

The most commonly-used flue size for van installations is 4-inch (100mm flue). We recommend using an insulated flue, as this prevents accidentally touching the hot flue in a small space and is much safer, as the outside temperature of the flue will be cooler. When fitting a stove in a van, you need to be mindful of how close your stove and flue is to combustibles (basically, anything that will burn). Using an insulated flue reduces the distance that you need between your flue and combustible materials.

Here is a list of what you will need. (it’s always best to call us for information 01704 821095)

A small woodburning stove, like our Bushmaster Stove
Either our HETAS-Approved Flue Kit, which includes all the flue parts and fittings you need, or
A 500mm section of single-walled flue (included in HETAS-Approved Flue Kit)
Enough insulated flue to clear the top of your van by at least 15cm (included in HETAS-Approved Flue Kit)
A flashing kit designed for a solid roof (this provides a watertight, heatproof seal around the flue where it exits through the roof (included in HETAS-Approved Flue Kit)
A cowl to prevent rain from coming down the flue (included in HETAS-Approved Flue Kit)
A heat shield or fireproof board

Stoves for Surf Vans

What better van to kickback after a days surfing than cooking up the perfect dish on stove with the sea breeze and aq setting sun. The bushmaster can be fitted with a quick release flue system so on a sunny evening the stove can be taken outdoors for safe cooking.

you can’t beat the dry heat and pleasing aroma of a wood stove. Propane stoves are always a nightmare and in our experience with fumes and wet heat that sinks to the ground and causes damp.

The Bushmaster is easy to install and provides a low cost but stylish look making you the envy of the beach.

The top 10 things to look out for when buying a new Wood Burning Stove

19th December 2019

Home » Products » Blog » Page 4

In the following article we will give you a list of 10 important things to look out for when buying a new wood burning stove. They are not listed in order of importance.

Stove Efficiency

Stove efficiency is a good indicator of the overall design and build quality of the stove. Although efficiency is calculated under laboratory conditions and hard to replicate, Each stove is tested the same so its a good measure to compare products. You will notice that our range of wood burning stoves are around 83% efficient. This is a good result!

Number 1

Stove Size and Output

The output required to heat your space can be calculated by taking the cubic meter of space in the room and dividing by 15. We have made it easy for you by including a calculator below.
---------------
When selecting the size of stove you require you need to take into account the size of the fireplace and the hearth. Most stoves require 300mm of hearth in front of the firebox, as well as some clearance behind the unit to the wall. On either side and above there will also be necessary distances. The benefit of Vesta is that we can make a stove to fit your fireplace and style.

Number 2

Stove construction

This relates to the material the stove is made out of. Most stoves on the market these days are made from steel with cast iron doors. This is because steel is more durable under thermal stress than cast iron. However, Lots of imported stoves are made from cast iron so beware. Steel are normally a little more expensive but they last a lifetime,

Number 3

Flue size and specification

Do you need a flue line? If so then what size liner can you fit? an important questions as some chimneys will only take a 5" liner and this isn't suitable for a lot of stoves. The position of the flue is also a factor to take into account. When the stove is sat in the fireplace with the correct spacing around it the flue needs to line up or unsightly elbows will be required to offset the flue.

Number 4

Price

Stove prices range from £150 to many thousands of pounds. It has to be said that in general you get what you pay for. The old adage that you buy cheap you buy twice is definitely applicable to the wood burning stove industry. In the UK it is standard practice for installers to take 40-50% mark up in commission when selling a stove. We sell direct from our factory outlet cutting out the middlemen and passing the savings onto you.

Number 5

Warranty

Take a look at the warranty that is given apart from the statutory 12 month period. Many stoves are imported into the UK and a warranty after the 12 month period would be difficult to claim on. All our stoves come with a 3 year warranty or a lifetime warranty if installed by a Vesta Approved Installer.

Number 6

Installation Costs

The installation of your brand new stove can cost between £200 to several thousands. Its a good idea to get a quote before buying a stove. To get a quick ballpark figure for the installation of your stove you can use our calculator https://vestastoves.co.uk/stove-installation-quick-quote/

Number 7

Aftersales

During the lifetime of your stove you will undoubtedly need to change parts such as the baffles, bricks, glass and rope seals. Ensure before you commit that a full range of spares is available and rapidly available. The last thing you need is your stove breaking down in winter and having to wait for the parts to come from abroad.

Number 8

Lead Time

Stove can have long delivery times especially if its an imported stove. If your in the market for a stove in august then you could wait 10 weeks for it to be delivered by some companies. Our stove all have a 3 week delivery period. However, we can normally accommodate if you need a stove quickly (in time for Christmas)

Number 9

Fuel

Decide on the fuel type before you buy a stove. Wood burning stoves burn logs very well but wont burn other solid fuels like coal. Multi fuel stoves do a great job at burning solid fuel but not too good at burning logs. Most of all please support your local British business. When you buy your fuel please make sure you buy local sustainable logs .
