Biasi Wood Burning Boilers Boast 90 Percent Efficiency
Biasi UK has introduced a range of wood burning boilers that boast around 90% efficiency with low running costs and low carbon emissions.
Ideal for customers in off-mains gas areas and who have a ready supply of wood logs, this latest range comprises two free-standing models – 3 Wood and Pirowood – both of which are available in various thermal output options ranging from 21kW to 36kW to meet the hot water needs of most domestic properties. Additionally, 3 Wood models can be converted for burning coke and coal by fitting a simple add-on kit.
Pirowood models also offer further reduced emissions and a higher combustion yield, operating on the principal of pyrolysis – the gasification of wood and combustion with reverse flame.
All models feature a robust cast-iron case to ensure maximum thermal yield, excellent draught and resistance to corrosion. Designed to facilitate the use of suitable technologies for their combustion, all models also incorporate a spacious firebox and loading door, together with advanced user-friendly electronic controls.
Unlike the ever-increasing cost of non-renewable fuels like oil and gas, the superior heating performance of Biasi’s wood boiler range is not compromised by excessive running costs. Likewise, this range offers the ultimate carbon-friendly water heating solution, as the burning of wood is both renewable and carbon neutral – trees absorbing as much carbon in their lifetime as they emit when they are burned.
Commenting on this range, Biasi’s Managing Director, Paul Baxter, said: “This new range of wood boilers is testimony to Biasi’s commitment to providing a range of energy efficient, carbon neutral products. We are confident that the boilers will prove increasingly popular, particularly as oil becomes more scarce and prices continue to soar.”
Alongside its range of wood and gas boilers, Biasi offers a comprehensive line-up of radiators and towel rails that includes standard, column and designer models.

Why does a log of wood take longer time to burn than the same size of wood, cut into shavings?
I could answer it in my own words, although we need research.
Combustion takes place only at the surface of the wood. Wood shavings have a much greater total surface area than the log from which they were cut. Sawdust has an even greater surface area; a pile of sawdust can burst into flame spontaneously due to the heat of decomposition, and such a fire can be especially destructive because the burning sawdust can be easily carried on the wind.
