New wood burner?

Recommended Posts

Got a Jotul no4 Easter island shape about 25 years ago as a stop gap and it’s still going 

door a bit loose and fire bricks need renewed 

 

was at some ones house with a modern woodburner and there did seem to be a useful difference in heat output as well as nice to have a glass door

 

assume increased effiency would never pay for a new stove or be effective in terms of effort and co2 output (I gather and process my own wood)

Quite fancy a change but is it just an  indulgence

any opinions?

If you want one with a glass door then get one but be aware the glass is often sooty anyway. Not hard to burn it off by opening up the fire a bit.

Your fire has a resale  value so reduces the cost of new.

If you want more heat than you are getting a good service of what you have will likely achieve that and cost less.

CO2 isn't particularly relevant as what is produced is purely part of the CO2 cycle, you are not digging up and burning fossil fuels which is the problem (if there is one).

I had a Jotul 601 for over 30 years but I cracked the back by stuffing over long logs in it. I wanted to upgrade to something cleaner burning and bought a morso s11. I like it and the radiant heat through the glass door is noticeable. I heat the downstairs  rooms with it. My regret is in it not having a hob as I used to cook on the Jotul and now have to use electricity (which is only a problem between mid November to mid January).
