Stove ban - Save our wood-burning stoves
As a business we are not political. But some people don't seem to be aware of what it means to ban stoves in rural areas. It is
-
damaging the credibility of those making the rules, when every ten years the goals and rules are changing 180 degrees (Renewable Heat Initiative = tax payers money)
-
throwing invested money down the drain (biomass-boilers, stoves, flues, accreditations)
-
ignoring that the power supply is in certain areas not always guaranteed
-
sustainably managing forests are a necessity
-
ignoring the amount of jobs adding value and top-up retirement money which is involved (farmers, forest owners, harvesters, haulers, firewood / wood-fuel producers).

Ready to Burn certificate for LFS
Ofgem is asking all the biomass suppliers (BSL) to get certified.
We decided that LFS offers BSL accredited firewood and also applied for the READY TO BURN label to make worth the additional administrative work, site inspections and laboratory tests.
LFS is certified for BSL and READY TO BURN for all the products specified as seasoned with a moisture content lower than 20%.
