Back to business for 2024 and may Claire and I wish all our friends and customers a very happy and prosperous New Year!

I thought that this little stove would be worthy of a blog, the Salamader Hobbit Wood-Burning Stove, if for nothing more than it is the smallest stove that you can buy. I know that there are a number of very small wood burning stoves, but I understand that the Salamader Hobbit is the smallest of the small. I recently swept this Hobbit at an address in Haverhill, but I do sweep a number of then across the area, They are particularly useful where space is at a premium and no other stove will fit in the available space, but usually the Hobbit will fit into that small space. The customer told me that the stove provided more than adequate warm on the coldest winter day in the little sitting room that it is situated in. He went on to tell me that he has to get his wood cut particularly small as only very small logs will fit into the tiny firebox. I couldn’t resist asking whether his Hobbit was called Bilbo or Frodo!
