All of Our Fireball Wood Burners are Ecodesign Ready
Shopping for a wood stove? You've likely come across 'Ecodesign Ready.' But what does that really mean? In a nutshell, it's about cleaner burning. By 2022, all new wood stoves sold in Europe had to meet strict standards for air pollution and particulate emissions, set by the Ecodesign directive. This means cleaner air for everyone, and more efficient stoves for you.
After 2022 all stoves sold in Europe must pass Ecodesign, but to allow you to identify which manufacturer’s products squeak by and which are truly clean, green and a benefit to all, Burley has introduced far more demanding criteria and is encouraging the rest of the industry to follow our lead.
This stove is so frugal and efficient that I can get a great night’s heating from 3 or 4 logs and it is still warm in the morning.

2022 approved Ecoexcel. For stoves to display Ecoexcel they must satisfy the higher efficiency of 79%+ and also all the reduced cleaner emissions.
All my friends have wood burning stoves. None are as efficient as this one or give such a dazzling display
Bradgate 9305
2022 approved Ecoelite. If a stove has earned the accolade of Ecoelite you can be assured that you have purchased an absolute state-of-the-art product with particulate levels of less than 1/3rd that of a stove which is merely Ecodesign.

Can I burn multi-fuels in my wood burning appliance?
There’s always a temptation to slow down a fire, either in an attempt to make it last longer or in order to reduce the heat, by turning down the air controls on your stove. Don’t do it. The fuel will still burn, but more smoke and moisture will be emitted. This is not only bad for the environment (and makes you Public Enemy Number One among your neighbours) it will ruin your flue. Moreover, you’ll get no heat out of it so you will be wasting your money. The approval testing on our stoves was done with wood logs, these burn at a consistent rate & temperature according to the volume of air added. This is quite carefully worked out to achieve the efficiency figures quoted so that the glass, paint & vermiculite panels can withstand the energy dispersed. The issue with using other fuels is that they can burn too hot with air controls that are set up for wood & will not be sensitive enough for faster-burning fuel. This could overheat the glass, paint & vermiculite panels if allowed to burn on maximum air setting.

What fuel can I burn on my solid fuel stove or inset?
You must burn natural hardwood and ensure you follow the operating instructions. This means you feed the stove with the recommended hourly load (1.6 kg of wood for the Hollywell) and keep the air vents open enough to ensure the fire is burning efficiently. When that load is exhausted after about an hour, you simply replenish it. You must, however, never load up the firebox and then severely restrict the air supply to choke the fire and make it last for 6 to 8 hours (e.g., when you go to bed). This practice is called slumbering. While stove users may have gotten away with "slumbering" with old, inefficient stoves, modern EcoDesign 22 stoves are different, as when you restrict the air, the wood smoulders, releasing massive amounts of smoke, unburnt gases, and tars. This low-temperature burn causes excessive condensation of moisture inside the firebox and flue. This tar-mixed moisture is highly corrosive and is the main cause of damage to the stove components, like the glass vermiculite. In short, never restrict the air to the point where the fire is lingering or "slumbering." The Burley Fireball stoves are outstanding, but to get the best out of them, just remember to feed them hourly, don't overload them, and keep the burning clean and hot.

Where can I find the serial number for my wood burning stove?
The data plate is typically attached to the rear air control during manufacturing. However, it's possible it was removed and provided to the customer along with their commissioning certificate. To identify the exact model, if you can measure the width of the top lid, please compare it to the details in the appliance instructions.
