Recomend me a stove

[corylus]

So, according to that scientific report, the expensive and excellent Clearview 500 is no better than my Villager A Flat. Both are poor and inneficient.

 

Neither are 'poor and inneficient'. The report deals with efficiency only, and the stoves are all so close that in day to day use you will probably not notice any difference in amount of logs used (for a given output)

 

If you sell Clarke tools you should realise their stoves are going to be 'cheap and cheerful' too. (The one I bought as a workshop heater a few years back was the biggest pile of rubbish I have ever had the misfortune to own. I junked it after a few burns and made my own from a gas bottle...ugly but far superior. I presume the more expensive Clarke stoves are better)

 

Dont get confused though. As I said quality isnt cheap, set yrself a budget and go and visit a few spots to look at stoves. Talk to the diffrent dealers and make yr own mind up. And dont forget to get a pretty one, hopefully you will spend many hundreds of winter hours gazing at it lovingly.

Perkins - I have one of the Stratford Eco 20s waiting to be plumbed in. Should be done next week intime for it to get really cold.

I've got 20 cube of seasoned hardwood in the stores to get through too (-:

 

Nice...if you get brown water dripping out of the bottom of the stove the first time you light it, don't worry, it's condensation coming out. I freaked when I saw it.

 

I'm sure you'll be happy with the stove provided the chimney performs.

We don't sell the Clarke stoves at the moment, more welders, compressors etc. I might get some down to have a look at.

Cheers Perkins, I'll bare that in mind. Can't wait!
