Any stove experts out there !!

I've got a Esse 125 (5kw) in a room about the same size of yours and its perfect, we open the doors to our kitchen/dining room and it warms them up a treat.

Google greymetal Contemporary wood burning stoves :: quality stoves at cheap pricesGreymetal Multifuel and Woodburning Stoves

contemporary and good price made in Germany, I might get one but don't know how good they are.

Fahrenheit on here will have a better idea - he's a stove installer. I'm not entirely sure where the greymetal stoves are actually made - some are extremely cheap in spite of the "for sale in the Greman market" stuff. And some are extremely thin and "not recommended for use inside the home"

 

Always a good idea to have a look at one of the online stove calculators I reckon - many people get suckered into buying the biggest stove they can fit into the space, and it turns into an elephant at the zoo, requiring constant feeding and generally being a pain. It's a lot better to run a fairly small stove hard and efficiently than have a monster just ticking over - and will probably use an awful lot less fuel too. There are several stove outlets suggesting getting the biggest you can and then "just have a small fire in it" - not very good advice tbh.

 

Firebelly have had qc issues in the past - a couple of big sellers stopped dealing with them as a result - not sure if these have been sorted out now. whatstove.co.uk is good for customer reviews of all sorts, but bear in mind that not all the reviewers will have had other stoves to compare.

 

Good luck!

How about a Bronpi Oxford 5kw. Very simple modern style. I am pleased with mine. It seems to burn very efficiently, and has suprisingly large capacity.

Morso. Unbelievably efficient.

I have a firebelly and love it.

Are there any online cross section drawings of a Aga/Esse type range? I fancy making one for the BBQ area in my garden.

Hodge - it was a few years ago that this was going on. Mate of mine bought one around that time and said he wouldn't have another. Think he's using Charnwoods nowadays.
