The trend of wood burning stoves is spreading like wildfire as the efficient alternative to gas or electricity has sparked huge demand. Wood burning stoves have become something of a feature in designer pads, luxurious camp sites and glamorous country retreats. The physical pleasure of watching flames dance, the exquisite smell of burning wood and the cosy heat of a wood burning fire means they’ve overtaken the Aga when it comes to middle-class must have accessories.

What's more the eco-enthusiasts have helped ensure wood burning stoves are on everyone’s lust-list, writing enthused write ups in the broadsheet weekend pages about the environmental benefits. The trend is such that the fashionable sets of London are even vying for wood burning stoves, even if getting your hands on wood stocks in the city isn't as easy as it is in the country. The green credentials of wood burning stoves have been rubber-stamped by the Department of Energy and Climate Change saying those who use a wood burning stove which generated its own electricity could do more than save – but actually earn 6.5p per kilowatt hour.

And with the increment weather in Britain, more people are getting ready to ride out the winter in style – using a carbon neutral fuel that cuts down on bills, joining celebrities such as Daniel Day Lewis, Lily Allen and Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall who all own a coveted wood burning stove.
