wood burner choice

[Logrover]

Im looking for a woodburner on a budget, looking at the clarke small pot bellied stove for about a hundred. its to heat a small room in a cottage and only has to last a year or two. Need to speak to the landlady about bining the silly leccy fake one first! Wood is no problem and will just be run on it.

Shame you are not closer. I have a beautiful little stove in excellent condition with a clear view glass which is surplus to requirements that you could have bought for a little over your budget.

Whats your flue / chimney like?

 

Might spend more sorting that out.

Clarke stoves are at the very very bottom on the stove quality scale. My landlord has the pot bellied one you refer to. No offence but it's not got value.

who's gonna fit it and sign it off? That could be your budget and more.

on of these slight seconds would prhttp://www.naturalheating.co.uk/slight-second-acorn-cast-iron-woodburning-stove-p-1280.htmlob be better

hmmm im not sure if its viable as the cost of installing will knock the arse out of it! i could easily install myself even with a liner etc but would this have to be checked by a builder and signed off? Some burners dont need liners anyway but i think id need the chimney smoke checked again costing! Its annoying as it will save lots since the house has all round leccy panel heaters.

So could i get the chimney checked if ok fit myself with a metal plate at the chimney base?? then get it checked?

im with TDC,please dont by a clarke,you will regret it!

I believe that if your landlord fits the stove then they have a duty to get it done properly. If you do it then you can do what people have been doing fine for eons with no problems.......do it yourself. I did the flue on my mains gas rayburn and when i moved out of the property the council had it checked and it was fine, and you are only installing a woodburner after all.
