Stoves from Capital Fireplaces
All our multi-fuel and 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.
All Capital Sirius stoves are CE approved to EN13240.

Important Stoves 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.
Cleanburn Stoves
To burn fuel in a smoke controlled area the law determines that either the fuel should be smokeless or the appliance should be approved by Defra (The Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs) normally these appliances are approved by Defra for burning kiln dried wood. 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.
