Klover Cooking Range
The Aga has been a kitchen favourite since the 1950s but, with
oil and electricity prices rising once again, people are looking
for an alternative. The cooking range that seems to have
grabbed everyone's attention is the wood pellet burning Klover
Smart 120. The contemporary model, a stunning combination
of black and stainless, has that classic Italian flair for design.
With a large top hotplate and a glass doored oven, it's a joy to
cook on.
However the really big step forward is that while the Aga was
made for cooking, the Smart 120 will run all your central
heating, domestic hot water as well as cooking.
Even better is that it runs on clean and convenient wood
pellets, so making you eligible for the generous RHI
government grant. The Smart 120 will light itself when the
house needs warming and turn itself off when the job is done.
While it’s burning, the kitchen
is filled with that warm orange
glow that only comes from
burning wood, perfect to make
you feel cosy on a cold winters
day.

Fondis Insert Fires
There's a conundrum facing all of us when planning our new
house – we want it well insulated and air tight but what's a
home without a real fire at its heart for those long winter
evenings? However if you design in a large fireplace then you
lose your hard earned warmth up a big open chimney. For
many of us a gas effect fire just doesn't cut it - without the
sights, sounds and smells of a real fire, that primitive part of
our soul just isn't satisfied.
There is however a solution in the form of the new generation
of guillotine door insert fires. These great looking built-in
stoves take it to a whole new level, with big up and down glass
doors that mean you don't see anything but the fire. It'll bring
its combustion air straight from outside, so no draughts, and
put out a gentle convected heat than can warm one room or
be spread right around the house. All the pleasure of a real
fire but controllable, safe to leave burning and a joy to watch.
The market leader is Fondis,
combining minimalist French design
with a real understanding of how
to make a fire burn best. There are
even double sided models that look
wonderful between two rooms or at
the centre of a big space.
And for that real guilty pleasure, slide
the glass door up and away with the
lift of a finger, and enjoy the radiant
warmth of a genuine open fire.
