Bit chilly in the house tonight

[twistedhicap]

Can't emphasise enough how important a woodburner is for someone in our line of work. You effectively have a free source of heat that will give you heat reliably with absolutely nothing to break down, be affected by power cuts of fuel shortages.

 

We burn 3 stacked cubic metres a month at present, but our (old single story badly insulated) cottage is too warm to wear trousers most of the time. Living room presently 21 celcius, 35% RH. Minus 5 outside. Rayburn on and directing heat around the house with a little to the living room. Villager stove on very low in living room mostly for the benefit of the dogs!

 

 

Im jealous lol i will have a place and will have a decent fire again !

Dad is going to be keeping 800 quid back for a woodburner to be fitted after xmas. Just had a friend come round who works for British Gas and said its the Peizo (spelling) spark igniter which is shot. He cant touch/replace the partbecause we aren't with BG but have a friend come round tomorrow who is a sub contractor for BG to fit it for us.

We have a 3 bedroom detached 1980s house with no fireplace. Mum wants on put into the gable end of the house but cant get into her head how big a job it would be to put a fire place and build a chimney. Looking at an 8Kw or maybe a 12 but want it to be warm not like an oven as having new windows put in during the new year.

 

Can you not put a stainless steel flue up the gable end. Wood burners are a must if you can get the wood free
