Duration of wood burning stoves.

I just got one of these for the workshop. £247 delivered including VAT if you ring him.

Overnights on sawdust well- not hot hot, but almost too hot to touch when you come in the morning. Seems to burn best with a large lump of wood in there also. I run it on sawdust and old sawn timber that I can't sell as logs. I caught my lad trying to put some ash from the store on it the other day, he won't do that again

 

I top it up, open the vent and squirt the airline down it to fire her up again in the morning!

 

Are you pleased with it? I am running one of these at the moment but they rust through quite quickly Workshop Stoves - Woodburning Heaters - Greenhouse Heaters

The guys who build them reckon they have been building them 20 years and some originals are still going strong! The photo on their advert of the five year old one looks fine. I agree they will burn out, but if I can get 5 years and then sell the burner and old flue (total cost £400) for £150 (everyone wants a cheap log burner!) then it will have cost me £50 a year, which is fine by me. Plus, I can always patch it up if it's only a localised hot-spot near the air draw, for example.

 

I did look at your type versus the type I eventually bought. A quick comparison of the weights (29kg versus 42kg) suggests that the Relax is a somewhat lighter build? Add that to the fact that a second hand Relax would have cost me almost as much as a new Tecnik delivered and it was an easy decision.

Just checked the Relax retail price- it's £387 including VAT and shipping. That's £140 more for a lighter built product with a smaller flue. Not a good deal in my eyes.

Yes yours does look good and as flat plates much easier to fix if or when it needs work. Looks like my next workshop stove.

I tend to keep mine going non-stop through winter. I riddle the ashes now and again when it starts filling up and the empty the basket. I have a multi burning stove so not sure if that makes any difference. I only ever burn wood on the stove.
