The Lundy 5 burns wood pellets, rather than logs, with the pellets being poured into the top of the stove, which releases pellets as required. Refill is between one and three days on average depending on stove use (typically one refill will last three evenings). The stove is self-lighting using remote control or digital panel and can even be set to turn on at a certain time. No paper, no kindling, no mess. Because the stove door is not opened to refuel there is no chance at all of emissions entering the room. Pellets are easy to purchase, easy to store, clean-burning and efficient. The Lundy 5 and its partner the Lundy 8 boiler stove are the first pellet stoves to combine modern pellet technology with stunning wood-burner aesthetics.
We now have the Lundy 5 heating our office and Arran is thrilled. "What, I can go a whole day without having to refuel it?" he asked. "Just tip pellets in and it that's it?". When he found out he can even have it on a timer he was ecstatic. "It comes on at 7am and by the time I arrive at 8 the place will be toasty warm - how cool is that!". The Lundy 5 is quite a large stove and will not fit the smaller recess but for larger recesses and as a freestanding option it surely must be a consideration. It is more expensive than most traditional wood burners but if freestanding with a balanced flue there will be quite a saving on flue costs. I hope to do a full and detailed review soon... Julian Patrick, Managing Director.

The big advantages of pellet stoves are clean-burning, easy fuel storage, the long time between refuels and the fact that they don't even need a chimney. This is seriously tempting

These stoves can be installed by Island Pellet Stoves own team of experienced installers who travel the UK (Island Pellet Stoves have larger connected-businesses specialising in the installation of larger biomass boilers so have plenty of expertise and experience).
Island Pellet Stoves can be connected to an existing chimney, a clip-together twin-wall system or a balanced flue. If the stove is standing outside of a fireplace recess (freestanding) then the balanced flue will usually be the best choice.
It is possible to obtain a 15% discount on our stated prices by having the "supply, install and commission" completed by Island Pellet Stoves. We can arrange this. In this case a small deposit would be paid to Stovefitter's and the project balance would be paid to Island Pellet Stoves.
Wood pellet burning stove.
Nominal 5kW.
This stove will run happily at 5kW no matter the fuel load.
This stove meets and exceeds the new 2022 Ecodesign regulations
This stove is approved by DEFRA to burn wood in a Smoke Control Area
82% (as a rough guide 82% of heat goes to the room with 18% going up the chimney).
Don't overthink efficiency. 75%-85% is fine and 90%+ efficiency may not work so well on shorter or difficult chimneys.
Yes, this stove can be fitted with an external air kit (draws air from outside via pipe direct to stove). Usually this option is not relevant unless a room air-vent is required and the property is airtight (by design or choice).

Steel stove (5-year body guarantee)
What to buy steel or cast-iron? Do not overthink. Steel heats fast. Cast-iron takes a little longer but retains heat longer as fire dies.
Hearth thickness: minimum 12mm non-combustible material (can include floor thickness).
If in a fireplace recess, a full 125mm thickness constructional hearth is required. This will usually be in place as part of the recess design.

To non-combustibles there are no hard rules but, around the stove, a 50mm minimum air gap is recommended to brick/stone. This to be increased to 100mm for rendered or boarded surfaces. Prior to purchasing any stove download the installation manual to check that manufacturers do not have any additional requirements.

We offer 14 days from delivery to report any courier damage to your stove. If a stove is damaged by the courier we will replace or refund as desired.
The manufacturer offers a 5 year body guarantee
Why do we sell glass insurance (pre-ticked box close to ADD TO CART button)? Because glass is classed, in the stoves industry, as a consumable item and not covered under ANY guarantee by any manufacture for any reason whatsoever. If it breaks or cracks on day one or day twenty it is not covered. If the inside of the glass goes cloudy or gets any kind of surface coating or etching then it is not covered (it will be to do with what you are burning according to manufacturers and glass makers). Glass usually costs £30-£60 plus postage but can be more on higher end models.
Defra-approved or/and Ecodesign stoves are designed and thoroughly tested before being allowed onto the market and every stove sold is identical. In the rare event a stove does not perform as well as expected it is always down to the installation, the chimney or circumstances unique to the property (pressure imbalances caused by local conditions, down drafts etc.). Here at Stovefitter's we have taken stoves back on a number of occasions for testing on our chimney and in every situation the stoves performed as expected (we may of course find a faulty stove one day but never as yet). We may, at our discretion, take a stove back once it has been used and in this situation a 50% refund would be provided (stove would be sold as second hand). We would, however, offer a 33% refund on a replacement stove.
Already have a chimney? You need 1. Stove 2. Liner 3. Fitting Pack 4. Chimney closure plate (Hardiebacker board from Builder's merchants or galvanised sheet).That's it!
No chimney? Check out our shed kits or let us design your clip-together chimney design - easy peasy.
