Fire extinguishers for kitchens with wood burners

Featured Replies

Our domestic house insurer requires us to have either co2 2kg or foam 6trs or dry powder 2kg in place of co2 or foam
looking through your site their requirements look out of touch with fires in kitchens near wood burners.

Please advise best options

Hi, could you clarify your question as you have said you have to have either CO2 or foam in place of CO2 or foam which is what you already appear to have.

Dry powder is often no longer used in "confined spaces / indoors" as it reduces viability. It is often replaced by foam.

None of the above would be effective on cooking oil, only the foam & powder would suit the actual wood burner, but powder isn't really suitable indoors.

Water Mist or Wet Chemical would suit all possible risks in the area.
