[QUOTE="yoki, post: 8381733, member: 2923"] Boiler stoves are generally better as multi-fuel. Building and designing a clean and efficient wood burner with a boiler isn't as simple as wrapping a boiler around the firebox because this will lower firebox temperatures too much and you won't get the secondary burn which both removes a lot of the emissions from the flue gases, and increases the efficiency of the burn. Apparently some of the stove manufacturers were working on new clean, fuel efficient boiler models a year or two ago but scrubbed them when the government (and The Guardian! :rolleyes:) went on their "burning wood is very naughty" campaign. I suspect that circumstances this year may make it worth the manufacturers efforts to revisit the concept, but for now you'll be looking at older or discontinued models and mostly multi-fuel. *edit* - sorry, probably worth saying that it's amazing how big an area a wood-only room heat stove will actually heat. Our 8kw Burley comfortably heats the entire house through the winter from a central location, and we don't even have to push it hard to do so. So consider whether you actually need a boiler stove to do your job. [/QUOTE]
