Your stove needs air to burn. If it can't be connected to an external air supply then it takes that air from the room - and that air has to get in somewhere, which means you end up sucking in cold outside air into your home.
Here we have Wood Burning Free Standing Direct Air Stoves that can be connected to an external air supply. You simply run a duct to the outside and connect it up to the stove, usually at the back.
We list the stoves as either Partial, where only some of the combustion air is supplied via the external duct, or Total, where all of the combustion air is supplied through the duct.
We also list whether the stove is Air Sealed, meaning that openings in the stove itself have been sealed so as to minimise air leaks through the stove, important for air tightness and newbuild pressure tests.
Our technical team will be pleased to talk about the specific requirements for your project, we are always happy to help.

The Mendip Ashcroft is a simply designed stove with a big glass and a less than 5kw output.
The 6100 come in 4 different formats. The 6140 is the smallest model and the firebox will of course be the same on all 4 models.
The 6143 has a taller log store under the stove making the height 950mm.
The Morso 6148 is a pedestal model and gives a taller firebox. This in turn makes it easier to feed the fire as you do not need to bend down to reach the door handle.
The Westfire 26 is a 4.4kW (nominal output) contemporary woodburning stove with an impressively large window giving a good, uninterrupted, view of the flames. The 26 can be fitted with the optional direct air connection making it suitable for well insulated homes.

The 9kw nominal heat output of the Harmony 33 will suit larger rooms.
The simple but elegant design of the Nordpeis Bergen would suit almost any style of setting. The Bergen has a nominal output of 5kw, but has a large firebox so should be able to produce around 7kw if needed. The large rectangular glass window gives a great view of the flames.
