Wood-burning stove for long logs?

[Col_Up]

Have you considered Charnwood stoves?

 

Multi Fuel Stoves, Multifuel Stove, Crewe, Wilmslow, Cheshire, Macclesfield, Poynton, Nantwich, UK

 

Beautiful things and I'm finding it really efficient. But yeah, 1m logs I'm not so sure about. That's long. Hope you get sorted.

There are many different types of boiler stove around but finding one which will burn 1m logs will be a challenge. There are also many stoves which allow you to add a boiler at a later stage - with the price of gas and electricity increasing, this is becoming a real consideration for many peopel.

This is a 6 year old thread !!!.   ( from 2012)

 

Under the proposed EcoDesign emissions requirements most if not all boiler stoves will be discontinued as they are currently unable to hit the emissions requirements.

I suppose you mention boiler stoves because of the way they generally cool the firebox rather than take their heat well after the flame?

 

I'm not really interested in a boiler but I intend to replace my Jotul 603 with something reaching the new standard but a bit lost where to start on choosing

Technically I have no idea as to the internal performance,  but many boiler stove manufacturers have already discontinued boiler stoves ( Esse for example) and at least one other major player will do so shortly unless they find a way to clean up the emissions and get improved efficiency.

Do any boiler stoves work moderately well?  I'm in a real quandry as to whether to fit one or just rely on a decent size stove to heat a small cottage.

The gasifying ones we fitted by Kunzel and Kob did but they were serious money. I just heat the space with wood and gas or electricity for hot water.

Yes they do,  Arada and Morso both make excellent boiler stoves.  However if you have a Combi Boiler for you current hot water you will need to build in a facility to automatically dump excess heat in the event of a power cut.    ( that means the water is still being heated but not being pumped around the system,  pressure then builds up in the stove due to steam)   Usually this is vented to a cold water tank but combi boilers dont have CW tanks so plumbing costs may be significant.

I was looking at the Arada Stratford 16 so good to know that.  No combi.  The  hot water and a few rads are powered from a back boiler.
