The FlueCube’s unique design enables the wood burning stove to burn fuel more efficiently leaving only ash dust at the bottom of your stove.

How efficient overall your wood burner becomes with a FlueCube will depend on a number of factors; the fuel you burn, make of stove, length of chimney, the location of your home, so we can't put a definitive figure on efficiency. What we can say is our customers have all seen a positive improvement. For example

"There have been times recently when we would not even have been able to light the stove, Easterly winds for example would have made it impossible. Since we fitted the FlueCube on to our 8" twin wall it has been amazing transforming our stove experience. The stove now runs efficiently and, yes saving on fuel, it has performed just like you said it would. We are already telling our friends I hope you sell thousands. "

As long as you have a flue or flexi liner in the chimney the FlueCube will work with these stoves. It will also improve the performance of stoves and stop downdraft issues.

Yes, but the FlueCube will help to keep your chimney clean for longer, which is good for stove efficiency, providing you burn dry, low resin wood. We support chimney sweeps in recommending that chimneys are inspected and cleaned regularly.

First of all your wood should be dry, seasoned and split. The most suitable firewoods are oak, hazel, ash, hornbeam, birch and hawthorn. As long as they are well seasoned, we would also recommend apple, beech, cherry, elm, chestnut, plane, rowan, sycamore and yew.

Make sure you wood supplier has a good reputation and be wary of cheap wood as it is often green, which is a false economy.

For optimal results your wood needs to be well seasoned and dry before it is burnt in a wood burner with a FlueCube. (Note: different woods take varying amounts of time to season.) Your wood should be split, stacked under cover, with sides open to air for at least a year.

By creating a positive draw through the flue system stabilizing the burn within the stove and thus enabling the stove to perform (burn) at a much greater efficiency consuming a larger amount of black carbon (soot) then would previously be possible. (Black Carbon is widely acknowledged to be a significant contributor to Arctic ice-melt )
Note:The FlueCube is supported by Low Carbon Kent, where we are located, because of its potential to reduce black carbon.

The EU recognizes the importance of reducing particulates, the biggest polluter being our cars as part of their long-term climate strategy. Wood is a sustainable resource, meaning that it is an environmentally friendly option when it comes to heating your home, and burning wood is a carbon-neutral activity. Further reducing particulates caused by burning fuel can only be a good thing. FlueCube is supported by the European Regional Development Fund to help us get this message across.

It can work on open fires but call FlueCube first to discuss your fire and clarify the problem.

Yes if you have a regulation stove and flue installed then the FlueCube should do its job, stopping down draught and creating a positive draw. If it’s not doing this on installation then we will take it back and refund your money.
