CHESNEYS
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 18 months ago, 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 efcient 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 efciently it uses the fuel. Many of our new
stoves have recorded efciency 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% efciency. 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.
