If your looking for the most reliable stoves, that are British then go for Charnwood, Dunsley, Town & Country Fire and Woodwarm. They may look expensive but they are all well made and efficient. The spares will be available in years to come, long after machine mart have stopped selling stoves. We been selling all of these manufactures for 40 years!

Any body got a clear veiw wood burner ? Wife is dragging me tomorrow to Stow on Wold to look . Seems good on paper.
They are of a very good quality , take money, lots of it.
It's 90m3 old stone built fridge.
Have a look at the Woodwarm Firegem or Fireblaze. Knock the spots of Clearview.

I have an 8kw Villager Flatmate, works very well and will be getting on for 20 years old now, about 700.00 according to a website. I think I paid something like 300.

My old fridge used to require a 60 kw oil fired central heating boiler but with insulation and triple glazing we now heat the whole house with a Dunsley Yorkshire central heating stove which looks like a normal log burner but has another boiler behind the stove so the stove itself is not cooled by the boiler which is the major defect with most stoves with a boiler. At present it runs 7 radiators controlled by thermostat two of which are in the same room as the stove (living room) which gives a quicker heat up to the living room. Once thermostat temperature is reached in the living room the temperature is maintained by the stove. Most people make the mistake of putting two big a stove in then having to run it on tickover. Better to have the right amount of heat in the living room then distribute any excess heat around the rest of the house.

You obviously have no idea of the skill involved in dry stone walling. Installing all my stoves has never taken me more than a day each to install and is certainly not what I would call high on the skills list. Whereas dry stone walling I am quite satisfied if I can achieve 2 mtrs per day.

It only takes me an hour to fly 120 miles in a light aircraft which is about as a relevant a skill as dry stone walling is to installing wood burners .
There is skill in flying a plane and skills to dry stone wall , no skill in fitting a wood stove justs regulations , and you can get a certificate off t'internet ..
You sound arrogant , stupid and dangerous , the sort who kills his family with CO poisoning .

To be honest I still think installing a wood stove is not that complicated. Its not hard to find out the info on carbon monoxide placement ,flue angles, distance from combustibles etc. Sure if you know nothing about them or are not at all practical or building minded then you may not want to fit one but I honestly think many capable amatuers can fit one.
You're talking to yourself . I'm a professional , you're an interferring busybody .
