Small log burners

[benedmonds]

Should really be screeded not plastered for that reason. The only drawback with the Morso (and I am a Morso dealer) is the need to install with a liner. Nice neat stove.

That's the information I needed.. What does screeding involve?

 

I rekon Morso make some of the best stoves, had a squirel (another small stove) in last house, can't fault them, but you do pay for it!...

Quick google and I find you can buy Heat Proof Screed. Now why didn't my HEATAS installer know that?

 

Looks like it's worth using round normal installations, I had plaster cracking round my free standing morso to.

Sand & Cement.

 

Or if it's free standing and you have a normal plaster wall you could go for lime. Lime can take heat and will not give you the cracking you get with normal plaster, I have it behind this burner below and this is an 8kw stove a few inches from the wall.

You probably want something flasher but I saw these the other day and was pretty impressed with the concept

Is it a standard distance or variable from stove to stove?

Yes, it should be in the installation instructions with your stove. 600mm is the norm but some are 500mm.

Look pretty dodgy to me. Most stove these days are CE marked indicating they have undergone independent testing and reached certain agreed standards. The installer has a legal liability to check that the stove is suited to what the purchaser wants it to do and that it is of merchantable quality. The CE mark is agreed as an acceptable quality standard. Next year it is going to be a legal requirement that all stoves sold in the UK can genuine CE marking. Some stoves currently sold in the UK have not been tested, it is not an offence to buy/sell such a stove but installing one while not an offence (yet) but it does lay the installer legally wide open.

They make what are arguably the finest stoves in the world, many last well over 30 years, they dont chop and change designs and parts for that 30 or 40 year old stove are still available. Yes they are more expensive to initially buy but the cost over the life of the products make then a very cost efficient choice when chinese stoves costing half as much only last 3 - 5 years on average.

This went into a standard fireplace. Open it up.

 

Hi Paul, What type of wood have you used for the mantelpiece?
