Hot Box Stoves was recently contacted to carry out a site survey at a detached property in the village of Sheriff Hutton. The homeowners wanted to replace their open fire with a more efficient and cleaner-burning heating solution. With a generously sized fireplace recess and a large living room to heat, they needed a stove that would not only complement the proportions of the space but also deliver excellent heat output.

Following an assessment by our project manager, we recommended the Hunter Stoves Parkray Aspect 8, a high-performance wood burning stove renowned for its robust steel construction, contemporary styling, and impressive wide viewing window that offers a stunning view of the flames. With a nominal heat output of 7.5kW and the capability to reach up to 11kW, it’s an ideal choice for larger rooms like this one.

The Aspect 8 also boasts Cleanburn technology for improved efficiency and reduced emissions, making it an eco-conscious upgrade from the open fire. The stove was expertly installed using a high-quality flexible flue liner, ensuring optimal performance and safety. The end result is a beautifully integrated focal point that brings both warmth and character to the home, while significantly improving energy efficiency.
