How do wood fuelled heating systems work?
There are two main ways of using wood to heat you home: • A standalone stove burning logs or pellets to heat a single room. Some can also be fitted with a back boiler to provide water heating as well. • A boiler burning pellets, logs or chips connected to a central heating and hot water system. Log burning stoves and boilers have to be filled with wood by hand. Some pellet and chip burners use automatic fuel feeders which refill them at regular intervals from fuel storage units called hoppers.
