FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Q. Are they easy to install?

A. There is no installation required for Bio Ethanol stoves. That is their beauty.

Q. We do not have chimney or a flue, do we need one?

A. No, Bio Ethanol does not require a flue or chimney. Thiey burn bio ethanol fuel which does not emit not harmful vapours, just carbon dioxide and a very small amount of water vapour.

Q. I have an old French stove, can I buy a Bio Ethanol box off you and put it inside and use it?

A. No, definitely not. We only ever sell our boxes to clients who have already bought a stove and want another box. This is really dangerous as any residue left inside will be heated up and the fumes will come into your room. Bio Ethanol needs air to work safely and many adaptations need to be made to most stoves to make them suitable for burning Bio Ethanol. Also, beware of people selling stoves cheaply who think this is the way to do it. It really isn’t.

Q. I live in the USA/France/New Zealand/China can I buy a stove from you and have it shipped?

A. Yes, we regularly ship all over the world by courier. We parcel them ourselves to make sure they arrive in one piece and insure them just to make sure. Most stoves will be with you in 1-2 weeks including customs clearance.

Q. Can I take a stove home in the back of my car?

A. Yes, the vast majority of our stoves would fit in the average car. Just make sure you have  someone the other end to help you lift it out. Also it is a good idea to bring old blankets or similar to protect it and something to secure it as you don’t want 50kgs of solid metal flying around if you have to stop suddenly.

Q. I thought the windows were made of glass but they aren’t, it’s like plastic, what is it?

A. It’s a natural substance called MICA which is mined, often in India. It laminates and gets disproportionately more expensive the larger the piece you need as it is much harder to mine large pieces.

Q. Where can I buy replacement Mica for my stove?

A. Look no further, contact us and we can sort you out if you bought your stove from us.

Q. Are your stoves eco friendly?

A. Yes they certainly are. They are considered to be carbon neutral as the amount of carbon released in the atmosphere by the burning Bio Ethanol is equivalent to the CO2 absorbed by the plant when growing.

Q. Can you give me a valuation of my stove?

A. I am sorry but there are too many points to consider to give a reasonable valuation without actually seeing the stove. Have a look at prices across the internet to get an idea but as with everything so much depends on the condition.

Q. Do you want to buy my stove?

A. We may, though we are very specific in what we buy. Send us an email with photos, price and location and we can let you know.

Q. Can you source a particular stove I have fallen in love with?

A. Probably if you have the details and/or a photo of one. We can’t guarantee anything but we go over to France very regularly and have a good chance of finding what you want. Get in touch for details.

Q. Is there a website where I can access original information about old French stoves?

A. We came across a great site called Ultimheat which has a page with fascinating information about all types of old stoves including old catalogues etc. Well worth a visit.

Q. Where can I buy Bio Ethanol from?

A. There are many different suppliers on the internet. The choice is yours. We will give you the name of our supplier when you buy a stove from us.

Q. We would like to come and visit the showroom but it's a bit of a trek, is there anything else to do in your area whilst we are there?

A. Devizes, a Wiltshire Market town is well worth a visit. Stonehenge is only 18 miles away, Marlborough is 9 miles away, Hungerford which is full of Antique shops is 20 miles away and Avebury is about 6 miles away so loads to do. Come and see us.
