Log burners, questions etc

[Hanser]

Hi Swinny

 

I can recommend the Franco Belge 'Camargue' and the Euroheat Harmony 43 stoves. I've now had a Camargue for 15 years and the Harmony 43 for 10. Never had to do a thing to either apart from a sweep out/clean. Both go through the night depending on the wood and loading etc.

 

I bought the Harmony from the Batley Barless Fire in Batley. They have a great range and gave good advice to me. It would be worthwhile having a chat to them. Batley Barless / Firestove - Quality Stoves, Woodburning and Multi Fuel Stoves, Cheap Woodburning Stoves

 

One other thing - think about a flat top stove so you can cook on it - saves gas/leccie

Slightly random question for those that have a log burner that heats water as well as providing direct heat. What do you do in Summer when you want a shower / hot water?!

 

Just a thought...

 

Hi,

 

We have a Rayburn 216M cooker - only rated 5Kw but heats the kitchen, a radiator, towel rail & a Newark cylinder for hot water, this is specifically designed for uncontrolled heat sources & works very well loads of hot water & no electrics to make it work.

 

In the cylinder we specified an additional coil & connections for thermo tubes we intend to fit this spring for solar heated water in summer.

No one mentioned Town & Country stoves of Pickering NYorks yet then?

Rosedale 7.5 (multi-fuel, Defra, 316 lined, air vent, dry logs only) warms our entire house as the brick built chimney is central so heats all downstairs (open plan) and 2 bedrooms upstairs as the entire stack warms and radiates log into the early hours.

Heck knows how hot it would get with coal?

Shear quality and chuffed to bits with it, unless its only me humpin logs from base to home

I assume you still have to light the burner, but doesn't that make the living room (or wherever the stove is sited) uncomfortably hot? Or would you light the burner early in the day, heat a storage tank or thermal store, then shower from that as and when needed with the stove off and the living room cool? Just a thought...

 

Light the stove!!! or bath in cold water:biggrin:

You must have a lot of heat going up your chimney if it gets the stack that hot.

check out the american sites - hearth and arborsite - both have dedicated sections to all things wood burnery and also their insane wood collecting habbits and OCD stacking -days of amusement.

I've got this Hunter, can anyone shed any light on the model and output etc? Keeps the living room very warm after a few hours and the chimney radiates plenty of heat around the rooms and hallway upstairs, but there is no air control other than how tight you shut the door.

I've got the Bonnie from Champion Stove Company in my office at work and it's a cracking little stove:

 

Champion Stove Company

 

It's so good that I've decided to commission a monster stove for the house (our Bullerjan, as good as it is, just isn't quite large enough). Martin Champion builds all the stoves himself, the quality is excellent and the price superb. The 7kw Lightning, with the 'starburst' pattern glass door is £285. Being a British chap with a small business, I like to support other British chaps with small businesses.
