I only have this one and its a stonker ! . 5kw Burley but seems to punt out more than that . Heats the whole house opn its own .

Very nice!!!! Looking at the options in having one installed, money restricted so want to research before hand so I ultimately know them inside out...no more cold winters

At the time I bought this one I did the same as you . Narrowed it down to about 3 and this one was the most efficient at the time and I liked its un cluttered looks . This is the 2nd winter with it and I don't regret it at all . All my wood is free though ...by product of work ...

Ok . Look at the Burly range . I wanted the bigger one ( 8kw ) coz it had a bigger flame picture but we would be sitting in the garden in our shreddies if I did ! . Depending on your house there is a 12 kw as well or a 4 Kw

This is my understanding of stoves.

 

There seems to be two schools of thought on woodburners. Some aim to conduct the heat as efficiently as possible from inside to out. Normally cast iron and un-lined. The down side to this style is due to the heat being conducted away the firebox temperature is low so a dirtier less efficient burn. Then there are the stoves where the firebox is insulated to raise the firebox temperature for a more efficient burn. The down side to all the insulation that mores heat goes up the chimney. I think the Burley tries to have it cake and eat it. The firebox is insulated to keep the burn hot but the tubes above the flame help extract the heat from the escaping gasses. Personally favour the insulated high temperature designs.

 

I think the % figures given by the manufactures relates to the efficiency of burn for a given amount of fuel but not the actual heat given to the room. The missing energy goes up the chimney.

If you're planning on installing it yourself, have a good read of Building Regs Part J http://www.planningportal.gov.uk/uploads/br/BR_PDF_ADJ_2010.pdf
