Wood-Burning Stoves
A wood-burning stove is a popular choice for customers who want the natural appearance of a real log fire combined with efficient, focused heat. Modern wood stoves are available in traditional cast-iron-inspired styles as well as clean-lined contemporary designs, making them suitable for cottages, farmhouses, bungalows, new homes and modern open-plan interiors.
For reliable performance, use suitably seasoned firewood and follow the appliance manufacturer’s instructions. The correct stove size, chimney condition, ventilation provision and flue specification should all be assessed before installation.
Wood-Burning Stoves Are Popular For:
- Living rooms and family rooms
- Country homes and farmhouses
- Renovations and fireplace upgrades
- Traditional interiors
- Contemporary feature walls
- Homes with access to properly seasoned firewood
Multi-Fuel Stoves
Multi-fuel stoves are designed to provide greater flexibility by allowing the use of specified solid fuels approved by the appliance manufacturer. They are often selected by customers who want the atmosphere of a solid-fuel stove without relying exclusively on firewood.
Always check the individual product specification before choosing fuel. Not every fuel is suitable for every stove, and only fuels permitted by the manufacturer and applicable local requirements should be used.
Multi-Fuel Stoves May Suit:
- Rural homes
- Farmhouses
- Holiday homes
- Customers seeking fuel flexibility
- Traditional fireplace renovations
- Properties with a suitable chimney or professionally designed flue system
Boiler Stoves
Boiler stoves are designed to provide direct heat to a room while also transferring energy into a compatible central-heating or hot-water system. They require careful sizing and system design, making professional advice essential before purchase.
The appropriate boiler stove depends on factors such as the room’s heat requirement, the number and size of radiators, cylinder arrangement, existing heating controls and the overall system design. A boiler stove should never be selected solely on appearance or headline heat output.
Electric Stoves
Electric stoves are ideal for customers who want a stove-style focal point without storing solid fuel or arranging a conventional stove flue. They are commonly used in living rooms, apartments, extensions, home offices, bedrooms and spaces where a convenient flame effect is the main priority.
Many electric stoves can provide a flame effect independently of the heating function, allowing the visual effect to be enjoyed throughout the year. Check the individual product details for heat settings, controls, dimensions and installation requirements.
Why Choose an Electric Stove?
- Convenient operation
- No ash or solid-fuel storage
- Low routine maintenance
- Suitable for many homes without a usable chimney
- Traditional and contemporary designs available
- Useful for creating a focal point in smaller rooms
Gas Stoves
Gas stoves combine a real-flame appearance with convenient operation and controllable heat. They can suit customers who want the look of a traditional stove without handling logs, ash or solid fuel.
The appliance, gas supply, ventilation and flue requirements must be professionally assessed. Gas appliances should only be installed and serviced by an appropriately qualified gas installer.
Cassette and Insert Stoves
Cassette and insert stoves are designed to fit into a prepared fireplace opening, producing a clean and integrated appearance. They are a popular option for customers replacing an open fire or creating a streamlined fireplace wall.
An insert stove generally sits within an existing opening, while cassette models often create a more flush, built-in finish. However, terminology and fitting requirements vary by model, so always confirm the product dimensions, recess requirements and flue arrangement before purchase.
Cassette and Insert Stoves Are Ideal For:
- Modern fireplace renovations
- Replacing suitable open-fire arrangements
- Contemporary media-wall-style designs, where technically appropriate
- Customers wanting a neater built-in appearance
- Rooms where floor space is limited
- New fireplace and chimney-breast projects
Freestanding Stoves
Freestanding stoves create a strong visual focal point and are available across wood-burning, multi-fuel, electric and gas formats. Depending on the model and professionally designed installation, they may be positioned within a fireplace opening, on a suitable hearth or as part of a contemporary stove feature.
Freestanding designs range from compact models for smaller rooms to larger statement stoves for spacious living areas. Confirm the required clearances, hearth dimensions, flue route and heat output before deciding on a model.
How to Choose the Correct Stove Heat Output
A stove that is too powerful may make a room uncomfortable and encourage inefficient operation, while an undersized appliance may struggle to provide the expected warmth. Stove output is commonly measured in kilowatts, but room dimensions alone do not provide a complete answer.
Factors That Affect the Heat Requirement
- Room length, width and ceiling height
- Age and construction of the property
- Wall, floor and attic insulation
- Window size and glazing performance
- Air leakage and draughts
- Whether the room is open plan
- Adjoining rooms and stairways
- Existing heat sources
- The intended use of the stove
What to Check Before Buying a Stove
1. Room Heat Requirement
Establish the approximate output needed without automatically choosing the largest stove.
2. Chimney Condition
Have an existing chimney checked for suitability, condition, dimensions and lining requirements.
3. Flue Route
Where no suitable chimney exists, a professional must determine whether an approved flue system can be installed.
4. Ventilation
Solid-fuel and gas appliances need adequate combustion air. The required provision depends on the appliance and property.
5. Hearth and Clearances
Confirm the required hearth size, construction and distances from combustible materials.
6. Fuel Availability
Choose an appliance that suits a fuel you can store, source and use correctly.
7. Maintenance
Allow for chimney sweeping, ash removal, glass cleaning, seal inspection and appliance servicing.
8. Installation Cost
Budget for the complete installation, not only the stove itself. Flues, hearths and building work can materially affect the project cost.
9. Safety Alarms
Include suitable smoke and carbon-monoxide alarms as part of the overall stove project.

Stove Safety and Maintenance
Correct installation, safe fuel use and regular maintenance are essential. A stove should not be treated as a simple plug-and-play replacement for an open fire, except where the product is specifically designed as an electric appliance.
Important Stove-Safety Steps
- Use a suitably qualified installer for the appliance type.
- Have existing chimneys and flues inspected before installation.
- Follow all stated clearances from combustible materials.
- Provide the ventilation required for safe combustion.
- Install and regularly test appropriate smoke and carbon-monoxide alarms.
- Burn only fuels approved for the stove.
- Use seasoned wood where a wood-burning appliance is installed.
- Arrange chimney sweeping at intervals appropriate to the appliance and fuel.
- Inspect door ropes, seals, firebricks and glass regularly.
- Have gas appliances serviced by an appropriately qualified professional.
- Never modify the appliance, flue or ventilation arrangement without expert advice.
Fuel for Your Stove
The correct fuel supports better stove performance, cleaner operation and safer use. Ganlys stocks home-fuel and fire-starting products, including fire-starting products and coal and briquettes.
Before purchasing fuel, check the stove manufacturer’s instructions. Wood-burning appliances should use suitable seasoned firewood, while multi-fuel appliances should only burn the specific fuels for which they are designed.

Frequently Asked Questions About Stoves
What size stove do I need?
The correct stove size depends on room volume, insulation, glazing, air leakage, layout and the intended use of the appliance. A simple room-volume calculation can provide an initial estimate, but a qualified professional should assess the property before you choose the final heat output.
Is a wood-burning stove or multi-fuel stove better?
Choose a wood-burning stove when you intend to burn suitable seasoned firewood and value a dedicated wood-fire experience. Consider a multi-fuel stove when you want the option to use more than one manufacturer-approved solid fuel. The best choice depends on fuel access, storage and personal preference.
Can I install a stove without a chimney?
An electric stove generally does not need a combustion chimney. Some solid-fuel or gas appliances may be installed using a professionally specified flue system where conditions permit, but the property must be assessed by a qualified installer.
What is the difference between an insert stove and a cassette stove?
Both fit into a prepared opening. Insert stoves are commonly used within fireplace openings, while cassette stoves often create a more integrated or flush appearance. Exact definitions, recess dimensions and installation requirements differ by manufacturer and model.
Can a boiler stove heat radiators?
A correctly specified boiler stove may contribute heat to radiators and, in some systems, domestic hot water. The complete system must be professionally designed to match the appliance output, radiator load, cylinder, controls and safety requirements.
Are electric stoves suitable for homes without chimneys?
Yes, electric stoves are often selected for homes without usable chimneys because they do not produce combustion gases. Check the product’s electrical, ventilation, positioning and clearance instructions before use.
Do I need a carbon-monoxide alarm with a stove?
A suitable carbon-monoxide alarm is an essential safety consideration in homes with combustion appliances. Follow current requirements, product guidance and the advice of your qualified installer regarding alarm type and placement.
How often should a stove chimney be swept?
The appropriate frequency depends on the fuel, appliance use, chimney design and professional advice. Arrange regular inspection and sweeping rather than waiting for a visible problem or reduced performance.
What wood should I burn in a wood-burning stove?
Use suitably seasoned firewood that meets the appliance manufacturer’s requirements. Wet or unsuitable timber can reduce performance, increase deposits and make the stove more difficult to operate correctly.
Can I burn coal in a wood-burning stove?
Only burn fuels expressly approved for the appliance. A dedicated wood-burning stove should not be assumed suitable for coal or other solid fuels. Check the model specification or choose an appropriate multi-fuel appliance.
Does Ganlys install stoves?
No. Ganlys supplies stoves, flue products, stove pipes, hearths, maintenance materials, safety products and fireside accessories, but does not provide an installation service. Customers should appoint a suitably qualified professional to survey and complete the installation.
Can Ganlys help me choose a stove?
Yes. The Ganlys team can help you compare stove types, brands, styles, dimensions, stated heat outputs and accessories. Final technical suitability and installation requirements must be confirmed by your qualified installer.
Does Ganlys stock stove spare parts and maintenance products?
Yes. Ganlys stocks a range of stove accessories and maintenance products, including stove paint, fire cement, glass cleaner, fire-rope seals, stove fans, companion sets and other fireside essentials. Availability varies by product and model.
