YOU MAY BE WONDERING whether you
should buy a wood burning stove. Whether it’s
a responsible choice to make.
You’ve probably seen mixed messages in the
media, with some commentators depicting
stoves as major air polluters. While wood
burning does produce emissions, so do
industries, transportation, and domestic sources
such as fi re pits, bonfi res, and open fi res. The
key diff erence is that modern wood stoves are
designed and rigorously tested to remove most
harmful emissions.
At Chesneys our goal is to lead the way with
clean and effi cient combustion technology, so
you can enjoy the warmth and well-being that
a stove provides, with a clear conscience.
SHOULD I BUY A WOOD
BURNING STOVE?
This is why we decided to forgo some sales and
eliminate multi fuel stoves from our range in 2022
so that we were not encouraging the burning of
fossil fuels.
Questions about the future for wood burning stoves
have been asked and there is a clear answer in the
government’s Environmental Improvement Plan,
published in early 2023, which states that it is “not
considering a ban on domestic burning in England
but that measures should be implemented to drive
a shift towards newer appliances which meet tough
emissions standards.”
We support this objective and are proud to be at
the forefront of the movement to make stoves as
clean as possible, so you can feel good about
buying one.
LUXURY WOOD BURNING STOVES

OUR VISION FOR A NEW generation of
Chesneys wood burning stoves was that they
should be Best in Class for Design, Performance
and Emissions. This was the challenge we gave to
our Research and Development team, and they
have delivered.
Kieran Hegarty, a former Rolls-Royce engineer
with a PhD in Combustion Science from
Cambridge University and Sebastian Granville,
a Design Engineer who joined us from Bentley
Motors began this project in 2023, and following
a relentless period of design, engineering, and
testing, they have developed a new generation of
stoves that are outstanding.
Our new stoves are driven by an entirely new
combustion system, that is highly efficient and
clean, exceeding current regulatory requirements
to an unprecedented degree. We adopted the new
BS16510 standard for our independent testing.
This is due to replace the current BS13240
standard in June 2025 as part of the ongoing
drive for cleaner stoves and demands significantly
lower levels of emissions. We have future proofed
our new generation of stoves by ensuring that
they meet these standards.
The performance of a wood burning stove is
measured in extensive laboratory tests and the key
indicators are how cleanly the stove burns and
how efficiently it uses the fuel. Many of our new
stoves have recorded efficiency ratings of up to 86%
and emissions levels of just 0.7 grams per hour. To
put this in context, current Ecodesign legislation
requires 75% efficiency. The level of smoke
emissions a DEFRA exempt appliance is permitted
to produce is dependent on the output. The base
level is set at 5g/h and for every 0.3kW it increases
by 0.1g/h.
The results speak for themselves.
Welcome to our new collection of luxury wood
burning stoves.
LUXURY WOOD BURNING STOVES
INTRODUCTION
Chesneys Research and Development Team, Kieran Hegarty and Sebastian Granville,
formerly of Rolls-Royce and Bentley respectively, have designed a range of stoves that
combine outstanding engineering with luxury design.
Whilst there is a stove in our Heritage Collection to appeal to most customers, we recognised
that it was time to add some sleek new contemporary designs to our range.
From a design perspective we wanted this collection to be minimalist, embracing a ‘less
is more’ ethos but ensuring that wherever detail appears, it is meticulously conceptualised
and executed. What constitutes “Good Design” will always be subjective, but we believe
it should successfully combine functionality and aesthetics, and where possible, innovate.
We hope that when you see the stoves in this collection, you’ll agree that they meet this
benchmark. Welcome to our new Contemporary Collection.

WE NAMED THE STOVES IN THE CONTEMPORARY COLLECTION AFTER MUCH
THOUGHT. WE CHOSE SANCTUARY BECAUSE IT REMINDED US THAT AS WELL
AS PROVIDING AN INVITING FOCAL POINT FOR A GROUP OF PEOPLE,
A STOVE IS ALSO THERE FOR THOSE QUIET REFLECTIVE MOMENTS WHEN
YOU WANT TO SHUT OUT THE REST OF THE WORLD AND ENJOY SOME PEACE
AND TRANQUILLITY

The Sanctuary is available in both a
free-standing form and with a log
store base. Both share the same
curvaceous door, large window, and a
choice of steel or brass furniture.
The sleek minimalist beauty of the
design is emphasised by the
absence of a handle for opening the
stove door. We have designed a
hidden touch point which facilitates
this action and allows the door to
open and close with the sound and
feel normally associated with a
luxury car door.

Why Solstice? Because if you catch
sight of our Solstice stove on the
longest day of the Summer, we
want you to take pleasure from its
graceful appearance, and then, six
months later, at the Winter Solstice,
we hope that you will find it just as
beautiful as you warm yourself in
front of its mesmerising flames.
