Having racked my brains, I can not think of another winter which seems to have been so harsh for many, many years. For over four weeks, we were living with sub-zero temperatures both day and night with just the odd day when the temperatures rose above freezing point. Those of us who have woodburning stoves at home were sitting pretty. When the newspapers starting reporting that the UK had just 8 days of gas left, we were relaxed safe in the knowledge that even if the gas supplies did run out, we would still be able to keep cosy and warm with our stores of wood close to hand. Harsh winter conditions cause fuel worries
The BBC News Website today published details of an Ofgem report warning that energy prices may increase by 60% before the end of 2016. This would be mainly due to fears that the gas market would remain volatile and that power stations would be nearing the end of their use. The same report also confirmed that the average household bill for gas had increased by 120% since 2001 and that the average household electricity bill had increased by 48% in the same period.

ACR are delighted to announce the lanuch of their first stove, the Earlswood. ACR have had a great deal of input into the design of most of the stoves within their exisiting brands but have never before designed their own stove from start to finish so are over the moon with the response from dealers about the Earlswood stove. ACR have designed the stove to be suitable for UK homes - it has a 5Kw output making it ideal for most homes. It is also DEFRA approved which means you can burn wood on this stove even if you live in a smoke controlled zone but by having a multifuel grate gives you the opportunity to burn smokeless fuels as well if you prefer (or if you happen to run out of wood!) The really large glass panel is kept clean by the powerful airwash so you are assured of an excellent view of the fire. The stove is available from the beginning of October and retails at £695.00 inc vat. For more information, please contact our sales office or your local stockist who will be pleased to help you further. Earlswood stove launch

According to an article in July's issue of Red magazine, the best home investment ever made by Sarah Beeny is her woodburner. She says that environmentally, they're a great way of making heat and they save you money on heating bills. Plus, the range of different styles means they fit into any home decor. This is a great endorsement coming from the lady who really knows her stuff when it comes to property. Sarah Beeny backs woodburning stoves
