Born from a love of wood fires, built for the way we live now.

Over Christmas, by a crackling fire, two engineers asked a simple question: why don’t wood pellet stoves feel like real log burners? Every model on the market was too large, too noisy, or had a flame that looked industrial rather than alive.

Seven years later — and after receiving a stove industry award for “Appliance of the Year” and after more than 10,000 hours of testing – we launched our first patented wood pellet stove that does exactly that. It fits inside British fireplaces, operates almost in silence, and produces a flickering, natural flame that you won’t find anywhere else.

Today, we design, manufacture, and install every stove ourselves, from our workshop in Cardiff — and we won’t hand one over until we’re certain you’ll love it.

“We didn’t only meet our brief — we completely exceeded it.”
— Dr. Gabriel Gallagher, co-founder

  • Why choose our pellet stoves?

Pellet stoves sit in a sweet spot — the atmosphere of a log burner, the convenience of gas, and none of their drawbacks. Switch from oil or LPG and you could cut your fuel bill by 50–75%

  • Core Benefits

01 – Silence , by design

Most pellet stoves use a fan to blow warm air — which is noisy. Our range of stoves use a patented heat exchanger that works with natural convection, so the only sound you’ll hear is pellets softly dropping into the grate

02 – A flame that’s genuinely beautiful

Our patented combustion system produces a natural, flickering flame — not the flat, industrial burn of most pellet stoves. People regularly mistake our stoves for log burners.

03 – Built for British homes

At 425 mm deep and 680 mm tall, the Skye fits a standard UK fireplace opening with a top-exit flue — just like a log stove. Most European pellet stoves are too tall and use bottom-exit flues.

04 – Set it and forget it

Set the heating schedule from the on-board timer and let the stove maintain your preferred temperature automatically. One 12 kg hopper load lasts a full day of heating.

05 – Twenty times cleaner than a modern log burner

A DEFRA study in 2025 found our stoves produce up to 20 times fewer particulates than modern EcoDesign log burners — our stoves have HETAS Cleaner Choice certification

*****

We have had our stove for a year now and we love it to bits. It is beautifully engineered and runs all day on a single fill so is really low cost to run. It looks great in our old listed building fire place and most people think it is just a normal log burner until we explain what a brilliant bit of kit it is!”  – Jeremy, West Sussex, Nov 2024

*****

I can’t over exaggerate how much we love our pellet stove. Having had a number of log burners and gas fires, we think pellet stoves are so much better- cleaner, more efficient , no logs to handle and almost no ash . Turn it on , turn it off and nothing to do in between. And there is always a great flame and even our smallest version produces ample heat” – Dan, Vale of Glamorgan, November 2025 

*****

The Ramsey stove is great – simple to use, quick to heat up the room, and remarkably mess-free. After 30+ years of wood-burners, and all the sawing, chopping, lighting, cleaning and sweeping that goes with them, this is definitely the way to go – the look, feel and heat of a wood-burner, but with none of the hard work! We love it!” – Patrick, Shropshire, May 2024

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use any type of wood pellets in my stove ?

No, our stoves are designed to use 6mm diameter pellets made to the EN Plus A1 quality standard. This fuel is readily available from domestic producers that belong to the UK Pellet Council. These pellets have consistent size, density, and moisture content, which promotes efficient and clean burning. Using low-quality or improper fuel can lead to poor performance, increased maintenance needs, and potential damage to the stove.

Where can I obtain wood pellets ?

We generally use British-made Woodlets , see link below;-

Otherwise, you shouldn’t go wrong if you use pellets from a member of the UK Pellet Council, which is the trade association for UK producers of pellets made to the EN Plus quality standard.

What is a pellet stove?

Wood pellet stoves burn compressed wood pellets to create a source of heat for residential spaces.They are fully automatic and operate under timer control to feed the fuel, ignite the pellets and control the air flow and temperatures to maintain the heating and hot water for your house.

Are pellet stoves noisy?

Many pellet stoves use electrical fans to blow warm air into the room and yes these fans can be noisy. This is not what we wanted while relaxing in front of a fire so we spent much effort developing our Lundy stoves without convection fans. Novel heat exchanger designs and natural convection currents produce warm air in the room without noisy stoves. With the Lundy you’ll hear pellets softly ‘tinkle’ as they drop into the grate – other than that, operation is very quiet.

Can a wood pellet stove fit in a UK fireplace ?

Most imported European pellet stoves are designed for large open planned rooms with bottom exit flue, these are too tall to fit in a fireplace and do not have a flue that suits a chimney.

Our stoves, however, fit into a standard British fireplace opening. The flue exits the top just like on a log burner for easy connection to the chimney. They can also be free standing in a room, often mounted on a bench.

Does Island Pellet Stoves offer installation?

We offer a nationwide installation service and deal directly with our customers.

Are wood pellet stoves eligible for government incentives or grants?

Depending on your location, wood pellet stoves may be eligible for government incentives or grants aimed at promoting renewable energy and reducing carbon emissions.

It is recommended to check with local authorities or energy agencies to determine if any incentives or grants are available in your area.
