Wood Burning Stove Rope: Replacing the rope on your woodburner

Find the wood burning stove rope you need to keep your stove working efficiently.

Wood burning stove rope

Stove rope is an inexpensive but important part of any wood-burning stove. The rope inside your stove plays a crucial role in keeping your stove operating at maximum efficiency — and in keeping you safe. Let’s take a look at why its so important, the role it plays and how to replace your stove rope.

In this article

What is stove rope?

Stove rope is the rope you’ll find on the inside of the door of any woodburner. You’ll usually find a length of rope running around the edge of the door to form a seal against the stove body. Another length of rope will be found around the glass to create a seal there.

Why do I need to replace my wood burning stove rope?

Wood burning stove rope plays an important role in sealing your stove that it can operate safely and efficiently. Its position on the inside of the door means the stove rope often bears the brunt of intense heat and flames.

Although the rope is made to withstand these conditions, it is a consumable part and will deteriorate over time. Your stove rope could become squashed, frayed or completely broken. When this happens, the stove rope is no longer performing its function correctly.

If stove rope isn’t forming a tight seal around the door, excess air will be able to get into your stove. This will make your stove less efficient and cause you to burn through fuel faster. It can also lead to your stove overfiring — operating at too high a temperature and potentially causing damage to your stove.

As well as too much air getting into the stove, there is also an increased risk of smoke escaping in the opposite direction. The seal formed by the stove rope helps to keep smoke and gases inside the stove. If the rope is squashed or broken, smoke can escape into your room. When there’s a risk of that happening it’s time to replace your stove rope.

How often should I replace wood burning stove rope?

How often you need to replace your wood burning stove rope will depend on how frequently it is broken. You can minimise this by operating your stove efficiently and within the recommended temperatures (a stove pipe thermometer can help you to do this), and keeping the door closed when the stove is in use.

There’s a very easy method for checking whether you need to replace your stove rope. Simply trap a sheet of paper in the stove door. If you can easily remove the paper from the closed door without it ripping, the seal isn’t tight enough and the stove rope needs to be replaced.

As part of your stove service, remove any damaged rope and the glue that was holding it in place.

  1. Fit replacement stove rope
    Replace the worn stove rope with new rope to ensure your stove functions efficiently. Buy replacement stove rope here. Use stove glue to hold the rope in place, then refit the glass and, if it was been removed, refit the door.

What size of wood burning stove rope do I need?

Wood burning stove rope comes in different thicknesses. This is usually 6mm, 8mm. 10mm, 12mm or 20mm. You can consult your stove manual or check with your stove manufacturer to see the correct size of rope for your stove.

You then just need to choose the correct length of stove rope, which you can easily work out with a tape measure.

How to replace wood burning stove rope

Replacing your wood burning stove rope is very easy. The first step is to remove your worn or frayed stove rope. Also remove any of the glue that was holding the old rope in place that is stuck to your stove. Next, apply fresh stove rope seal glue to your stove, then fix the new stove rope in place

The cheapest wood-burning stoves

Just because you want to buy your wood-burning stove on a budget doesn’t mean you have to compromise on quality.

Here are five cheap wood-burning stoves that are built to offer excellent value for money.

Five of the most popular inset wood-burning stoves

It’s no surprise that inset stoves are becoming increasingly popular. Rather than have to open up a fireplace to install a traditional stove, an inset stove (or a cassette stove, as they are sometimes known) will simply slot into a standard fireplace opening.

Once it’s in place, an inset stove has huge advantages over an open fire. First and foremost among those advantages is the fact that an open fire loses around 70% of the heat it generates straight up the chimney.

With an inset stove, that figure drops to below 30%.

Another major selling point is that many inset stoves do not require a flue pipe as long as they are fitted into a lined chimney that is in a good state of repair.

So, without further ado, here a five recommended inset stoves that are popular choices among our customers.

Dimplex Westcott Inset Multi Fuel Wood Burning Stove
Dimplex Westcott

The Dimplex Westcott is a reasonably priced, stylish inset stove. It juts slightly out of a standard fireplace opening in a modern, curved profile.

It’s a multi-fuel inset stove, which means you can burn wood and smokeless fuels. An airwash system ensures the glass is kept clear of soot and dirt, while its clever double-skinned construction allows heat to circulate around the room through natural convection.

Mazona Crete 5 kW Inset Multi Fuel Wood Burning
crete

The Mazona Crete has a 5kW heat output, which makes it a great option for smaller to average-sized living rooms. It also comes with a very appealing price tag (just £350 at the time of writing).

The stove body is made from steel and boasts a sleek modern design.

Arizona Denver 609 Black Enamel Multi Fuel 5.5 kW Inset Stove
Arizona Denver 609 Matt Black 6.5 - 7.8 kW Multi Fuel Wood Burning Inset Stove

Perhaps its the boxy profile that helps the Arizona Denver to retain more of the character of a traditional wood-burning stove than some inset stoves. The fact that it simply slots into your fireplace is almost incidental: this still looks like what most people picture when they think of a wood-burning stove.

A convection heat recovery system and an airwash system ensures that more of your fuel is put to good use heating your home. The airwash system will also keep your glass clear.

This 5.5kW draws air in from the room using the vents at the bottom of the stove. The air is heated, rises and is released through the vents above the door.

Aarrow Inset Ecoburn 5 Plus Multi-Fuel Wood Burning Stove
ecb5fplus-inset_lb_1260_1

The contemporary but understated appearance of the Aarrow Ecoburn stove has won many fans, and the inset version is no exception. As with all the stoves on this list, it simply nestles into a standard fireplace opening.

An airwash system keeps the glass clear and improves heat circulation, while the tertiary burn ensures he highest levels of efficiency.

Stratford 9HE-INSET Eco Boiler Multi-fuel Boiler Stove

eb9he-inset-g4

A slight departure from the other stoves on this list, the Stratford 9HE is an inset boiler stove. In other words, while it offers the same benefits as the other stoves featured here, it can also be plumbed into your heating system to provide hot water and heat your radiators.

Made by Arada – the same company that produces Aarrow stoves – the 9HE shares some of the aesthetic qualities of the Ecoburn. A large curved glass window – with an airwash system to keep it clean – adds to the appearance.

The stove boasts a discrete thermostatic control and an easily accessible water sensor.

Mazona Orlando Baffle

How to check your baffle

Simply look inside your stove and you should see the baffle plate resting just below the flue outlet. It will easily lift out of place.

If soot has built up on the plate, take care not to distribute this around your room while removing it.

A simple test to see if you need new rope for your stove

There is an easy way to check if you need to replace the rope on your stove. Simply trap a sheet of A4 paper in the door. If you can easily remove the paper without opening the door then there is a problem with the seal.

You can also do a quick visual check to see if you can see the rope is broken, squashed or frayed.

If it is, then the extra air that’s getting in will cause your fuel to burn faster and cost you money unnecessarily. You can stop that happening by buying some replacement rope.

How a sheet of A4 paper could cut your heating costs

Yes, that’s right: if you own a wood-burning stove, a single sheet of A4 paper could help to cut your heating costs.

You’re probably wondering how. The answer is that the piece of paper can help you to find out if your door seals need to be replaced.
