New stove

[Alycidon]

we are about to embark on a renovation of part of our cottage. With this we will be removing a Rayburn no2 Oil Fired Stove. This would have started life as a solid fuel model and has since been converted to oil. An old farmer I visited has one the same and told me he fitted his new in 1952.

We have been in this house 6 years and as the Rayburn no longer heats water or radiators (village is now on mains gas and combi boiler fitted) it just heats our kitchen and is used for cooking. We only have it on from Nov to April Makes great roast tatties.

Has a backboiler which is disconnected but I guess could be reinstated.

Could be re converted back to solid fuel.

I am going to be cooking on gas and fitting a used Stockton 7 multifuel stove to the new kitchen living area in its place as a heat source.

 

Would this Rayburn be likely to be able to be sold and if so what kind of price could one reasonably expect?

Works fine and looks ok for 60 odd yr old. and located in SW Scotland(not remote).

thanks for looking at my first post although I have used this forum a while being an avid firewood vulture as a mate recently called me.(we already have another woodburner in the rest of our cottage)

 

 

Hi and welcome to the site;

 

This should be in a new thread as it derails this one, ie it deflects the original question raised. Paste and copy it into a new thread then I will comment.

 

Thanks

Thanks for the welcome although it does seem I may have got off on the wrong footing. I always thought threads were "organic" in that they generated conversations that often branched out.

Anyway "my bad" I shall re post.

Cheers

Absolutely no problem, we have all been there and done that.
