Balancing Stove Tradition with Lp Gas Practicality

By Tristan Johnston, product development engineer, Broseley Fires Ltd

When it comes to domestic stoves, Broseley Fires is combining reliable lpg technology with 21st century design and traditional, individual craftsmanship.

The modern home demands a good-looking, highly functional heat source that combines contemporary design and solid construction with the very latest technology and maximum efficiency. Broseley’s lpg stoves fit the bill perfectly and offer users convenience coupled with cleanliness and minimum maintenance.

But, as well as supplying top quality stoves, Broseley brings added value to installations through our unrivalled and invaluable 30 years’ experience – nobody has the knowledge of gas burners that we have and that means specifiers and end-users can trust us to deliver on the very latest technology as well as on quality and value for money.

Broseley began 25 years ago to design gas burners for the largest and best-known cooker and stove manufacturers in the UK. However, 10 years ago, the company decided to use this experience to make its own gas appliances. The company’s vast knowledge and experience as a manufacturer and designer of burners and stoves specifically intended for lpg use are what puts it in such a commanding position in the market.

The burners and all working parts of Broseley’s lp gas stoves are made in the UK. Some manufacturers prefer to fit off-the-shelf burners into their stoves, but Broseley insists on using purpose-built parts that its own engineers have developed. The burners are designed for ease of use and reliability and need very little maintenance.

Using traditional castings, Broseley makes complete heating appliances that are tested and approved to the highest European standards. The company has invested heavily in establishing a research and development laboratory where its engineers test appliances using the latest analysers, calibrated fuels and instrumentation to ensure each and every product earns its CE mark.

By building strong relationships with specifiers, suppliers and end-users, Broseley has learnt that customers want to balance the aesthetics of their chosen appliance with practicality. So the company has created a range of stoves not only designed to suit the style of modern homes, but also to stand the test of time.

To this end, Broseley uses time-honoured materials, such as cast iron, to craft its stoves. This is because cast iron has been proven over centuries to have excellent heat conducting and radiating properties. While some companies in this sector don’t offer full cast iron stove bodies, using a standard steel build instead, Broseley believes in giving customers more for their money by building the very best quality into every stove.

Complementing this traditional feel are various innovative and energy saving features in Broseley’s stoves, including thermostatically controlled real fire and flame effects, remote controls and easy cleaning and maintenance.

There are a number of Broseley lpg gas stoves that offer high efficiency with a choice of fuel effects, and what many consider to be the most realistic flame effects in this type of unit. The most popular in the company’s range are the Canterbury Gas and Winchester Gas models. Others include the York Midi and the Lincoln Slim Line.

While the Canterbury is manually operated, the Winchester and York Midi feature a thermostatic remote control as standard. The remote allows the temperature of a room to be regulated automatically via a thermostat sensor in the handset. All models are among the most efficient products of their kind, offering 80 per cent efficiency with heat output that is ideal for the average living room.

Capable of fitting into any standard size British hearth, the Canterbury is an efficient, effective, medium output stove at an affordable price. With a heat output of 2.8kW, the stove weighs 65kg and is available in metallic black, blue or green.

Features include a choice of door designs and furniture and an oxygen depletion pilot system, which automatically shuts the appliance off if any potentially dangerous fumes are detected. Like all the stoves in the range, the Canterbury does not require any additional ventilation.

A clean and effective lpg stove, the Winchester offers a heat output of 5.5kw, weighs 76kg and is available in traditional metallic black. Like the Canterbury, it offers a choice of door designs and furniture and an oxygen depletion pilot system.

Combining elegance and sophistication with reliability, the Winchester features unique triple aspect viewing windows so that the beauty and warmth of the fire can be seen and felt from all parts of a room.
