Multi-fuel stove
We are putting in a non-boiler for several reasons
1) The existing fireplace did not have a back boiler as this takes greatly from the heat of the fire.
2)The boilers are on the top of the firebox so less heat is thrown out into the room also I intend to be able to simmer a saucepan or kettle on top, another economy tip.
3) The range heats the water and we have an immersion also.
We intend to take out the existing fireplace, and put the stove on a plinth not set into the fireplace ie out from the wall as the heat goes up the chimney otherwise, not too high as it will only heat your face.
It will burn wood, briquettes, coal and the odd cornflakes box etc will be great for getting rid of stuff.
They vary in price from about E350 up and make lots of enquiries as to the KW and area it is supposed to heat.
We visited a house over Christmas and stove was far too big for size of room, door had to be left open, then there was a draught.
Happy hunting,
