Island Pellet Stoves

We had been looking for a while for a pellet burner with a back boiler to replace our old 5kw multi fuel stove but generally they were too big for our hearth. The lundy 8 was small enough to fit without alterations, the back boiler keeps our heatpump running to a minimum which reduces running costs greatly with the current electricity prices. Daily operation is simple with the remote control ,no fuss, the lundy 8 will happily run for 12+ hours with good pellets before clearing the grate. After 12 years of logs and coal in our old multi burner the Lundy is a dream ! Marc was very helpful with installation and product instruction, i would thoroughly recommend Island Pellet Stoves .

Having lived with a larger more industrial style pellet heater in Spain and wanting a self-sufficient heating solution in the UK, I was delighted to find the Lundy and Marc's vision for a real fire effect, compliant with DEFRA. It's everything I hoped for, a few weeks in. They really go the extra mile also with installation, and it is a pleasure to deal with the inventor.

We have owned our Lundy 5 stove for just over a year now. It has functioned flawlessly throughout that time. The installation only took half a day and we received ample instruction to get us up and running, ready for out first winter. The daily cleaning requirement is so simple that I get it done whilst the kettle is boiling for my morning coffee. The weekly and monthly cleaning requirements are equally simple and only take 5 and 15 mins respectively. I put this down to the simple and robust design of the Lundy stove. As we live in the foothills of the Scottish Highlands and I believe the most northerly installation to date, I elected to carry out the annual service myself. I received the required parts and a detailed instruction by Marc on how to carry out this procedure. It only took me a few hours to complete and is possible with anybody who has a little DIY knowhow, a good hoover and a few tools. It was quite often we had the stove running from 7am to 10pm daily and it kept the downstairs rooms comfortably warm. We spent about £400 on wood pellets which lasted the whole winter (Oct - Mar) and it easily saved that on gas for the central heating. I can definitely recommend ringing Island Pellet Stoves and Marc if you are considering installing a wood pellet stove.

We have just finished our 3rd A rated Eco-home new build, in the last 2 we have had a large open plan space 17' x 54' and installed 2 Island stoves, a Lundy 5 and a Lundy 8 one at each end.I was looking for an easy controlable attractive stove with a cosy looking flame and that could provide hot water heating to complement the air source on cold/dull days.I've had a small Italian pellet stove at home for a few years which is really easy to use but looks quite appliance like with a small flame and if you want a boiler then you are looking at big plant room material not a fireplace.These stoves are unique in the market and perfect for our properties. They are easy to use and maintain, if you put it on in the evening it quickly heats up the space and the flame looks cosy to sit around and the benefit is the in an hour or so it has heated a whole tank of hot water.The other thing which was great for the bungalows we've built was that they use a balanced flue, this meant that we needed less flue, they didn't need to be high above the roof and also they work well with an air tight house using heat recovery ventilation.All round they are a great bit of kit.Dealing with Marc and team has been really good, he knows his product inside and out and has been very helpful with guidance and info all the way through.We've been very happy with the stoves and the service. I'll be in touch when we're on the next one!Thanks Marc

We chose Island Stoves for our pellet stove following a discussion with them regarding suitability, installation and effectiveness.We very much liked the British designed & manufactured element as well.We have had a Ramsey model installed and have to say that it has exceeded expectations. It is efficient, economical, very controllable and looks tremendous in situ.The installation process was painless and undertaken with a clear high level of expertise.The follow up training was both straightforward and useful and has left us with the comfort of knowing that we are very well supported.If you are thinking of having a pellet burner installed do talk to these guys. You wont be disappointed.

After spending time in Sweden earlier this year in a cabin with a pellet stove we were totally sold on having one fitted in our living room fireplace instead of a traditional log burner. After much research we selected the Lundy 5 as it is an attractive stove, easy to use and the heat can be controlled from the user interface. We are so impressed with the stove, the engineering and quality of this product is outstanding. Marc was fantastic through the whole process and clearly is passionate and knowledgable on all the detail about his product. It is so easy to start/stop, it fires up quickly and makes a great feature in the room.

Our first pellet stove (Bulgarian make) bought from Modern Stoves turned out to be a disaster. It never worked properly, unreliable, not lighting up or smoking profusely when lit. We persevered for 18 months trying to get it to work until it eventually blew up - a cabin full of smoke and a fire extinguisher in action. Pretty scary experience!We turned to Marc (the founder) at Island Pellet Stoves initially to try to fix the faulty stove (before it blew up) as the manufacturers in Bulgaria and distributor in the UK were uninterested and provided no support after sale.Marc was helpful but with no detailed service manual it was impossible to fix.Our conclusion was that buying pellet stoves through a retail only outfit was risky. Increased interest in more environmentally sustainable heating solutions does not go hand in hand with availability of post sale support and access to engineers with the required level of knowledge needed to install these stoves correctly and ensure their safe working. We live on a houseboat which adds an extra level of complexity regarding installation as it’s far less ‘standard’.We learned the hard way and with a different approach we started looking for a new stove.After considering a few Italian options we went to Island Pellet Stoves and decided on the Lundy 8. This has turned out to be a very good choice.Lundy 8 works very reliably providing enough hot water to power our underfloor heating throughout the boat as well as keeping the main living area constantly warm. It’s very simple to operate, maintain and keep clean, and with the added options of digital display and timers it makes our boat warm and welcoming whenever needed - this is something very hard if not impossible to achieve on a houseboat.The stove also looks great! It has a very classic but sleek and modern wood burner stove look different to the others on the market and one that we much prefer. The flame looks very natural and the stove is quiet to operate too. Compared with a wood burning stove, it’s almost smoke free and clean, requiring probably less than a minute of daily cleaning and lights up by pressing a button.The installation was stress free and Marc was always available online to talk us through setting up, maintenance (not much required) and use of timers. We were initially a bit reluctant about the ‘no need for site visit’ approach and reassurance that most things can be done via video. With hindsight, it couldn’t have been better. Videos of the site gave Marc and Alex (who was brilliant installing the stove) a good idea of access and the installation was totally non problematic, quick, very clean and smooth. Video calls with Marc talking us through working of the stove gave us thorough and hands on experience of learning about the stove and really understanding it.After our awful experience with the Bulgarian stove we were very distrusting and questioning. Marc put us at ease with his knowledge and understanding of the product. The team in Wales designed, built and tested it so they know it inside out. He explained how they noted and understood the faults with Italian designs (and most other designs) of pellet stoves venting from the bottom, and how they overcame these ensuring that incidents of hot air build up do not happen.Safety, the ease of operation, simplicity and fault proof design of these stoves is important to them and they practice what they preach.Island is a great enterprise and it’s good to know that pellet stoves can be manufactured at home as well - and in this case better (!) - than anywhere in the world. Also, unlike Island’s competitors, the people that design, build and understand these stoves are within an easy reach to call for help and respond in the unlikely event of a problem.We have had the stove since 29th November, 6 weeks now. It saw us through one of the coldest winter spells in England without fault. The post installation care from Island Pellet Stoves has been exceptional.

We are very happy with our Lundy5 Pellet Stove and the service we received in installing it. It was quick very clean and efficient. The post installation training was very good and helpful. We would recommend Island Pellet Stoves to anyone.

I have just had a Ramsey pellet stove installed in my new extension and we have been really pleased with it. The service from the team and their professionalism and attention to detail has been superb. The stove itself makes the whole extension so warm and cozy and its stylish too. Would highly recommend using Island Stoves. Thank You.
