- Initial survey or installation review
- Room sizing and model recommendation
- Fireplace opening and hearth assessment
- Chimney and flue route advice
- Flexible flue liner where required
- Vitreous stove pipe connection
- Register or closure plate

Smoke Control • EcoDesign • Fuel
Smoke control and correct fuel
Many areas of York and other UK towns and cities fall within smoke control requirements. If your property is in a smoke control area, the exact Aire model and fuel use should be checked before ordering.
For wood burning, always use dry, seasoned or kiln-dried logs with a moisture content of 20% or below. Wet logs reduce performance, increase smoke and can contribute to deposits within the flue.
Good stove use
- Use Ready to Burn logs
- Do not burn treated timber, painted wood or waste
- Use a moisture meter to check logs
- Keep the stove and throat plate clean
- Have the chimney swept regularly
- Follow the Charnwood user instructions for your exact model
Accessories & Colours
Charnwood Aire colours, accessories and options
Aire models can be specified with a range of finish and installation options. Availability varies by model, so the final specification should always be confirmed before ordering.
Colour finishes
Charnwood stoves are supplied in standard Matt Black, with selected models available to special order in colours such as Gunmetal, Almond, Blue, Bronze, Brown, Green and Pewter.
Useful accessories
- Heat shields where compatible
- External air kit where required
- Vertical rear flue adaptor where suitable
- Stove pipe components
- Moisture meter
- Flue pipe thermometer
- Maintenance paint
Aire maintenance and spares
Hot Box can help with ongoing support and maintenance items for Charnwood stoves, including glass, rope seals, baffles, throat plates, bricks, paint, thermometers and other stove care accessories.
Regular servicing and sweeping helps maintain performance, protect the flue and keep the appliance safe in use.

Lighting your Charnwood Aire with Hot Box ® Firestarter
A clean-burning stove performs best when it is lit properly with dry fuel and good airflow. Hot Box ® Firestarter is designed to help light wood burning stoves without kindling, making it a useful companion product for Aire owners.
Place the firestarter in the firebox, add suitable dry logs as directed, light the firestarter and keep the air controls open during start-up. Once the fire is established, adjust the controls in line with the Charnwood user instructions.
- No kindling required
- Simple stove lighting
- Works best with dry logs at 20% moisture or below
- Useful for wood burners, fireplaces, fire pits and outdoor cooking
Lighting tip
Do not reduce the air too early. Let the flue warm and the logs establish before turning the stove down for steady operation.
