[QUOTE="rollestonpark, post: 7998399, member: 76444"] If you/they are already used to messing about with logs etc... Maybe a boiler stove? Still going to require major surgery on the house to put in central heating network. So I'd have to say insulate whilst doing it... My sister has had a boiler stove in some years and there has been a few lessons to be learnt. So for you and others considering 1 here you are: Flue runs quite cold (due to heat exchange with the water), so the flue gets hard black tar in it and blocks. So either have the flue on the outside of the house or make sure it's straight and easy to sweep and a VERY well insulated flue. Have a buffer tank (big as possible), so you burn hard and hot, else you'll have the water in the radiators at 100c and boiling and the flue gets dirty quick. If having an oil boiler in the system as well, make sure it has easy control to switch off when you light the stove. But it has worked well for them on a new/rebuild. Just a pity they have no buffer and the flue blocks (after a bit) [/QUOTE]
