At moment I have three woodburners two jotuls and a multifuel but its all a bit too much effort, got screwed last year as we had 14 feet of snow and logs were stored 200 yards away, electric bill was over £1500,

 

So this year demolishing derelict barn next to house and putting "patio" right next to kitchen door, at end of summer will remove table chairs etc and fill patio with ibc containers next to kitchen door .......

 

Looking to replace jotul in kitchen with new model to run around 10 radiators and hot water

 

Never had house with central heating, so will be new experience for me !

 

Any suggestions re make of new woodburner gratefully received ......Trying to keep costs down too ........

A frightening amount!!

But not yet managed to quantify.

btw

I somewhere recently saw a comment that a simple "rule of thumb" for firewood consumption was that the m3 consumed per year = the rated kW output of the boiler required to heat ones dwelling.

In our case that would be 40kW=40 cube (but no idea if this figure is based on hardwood, softwood or an average).

Next to nothing this year.

 

Selling the logs and running the Heat pump as works out cheaper

 

I do miss the fire in the evening but I have promised all our own stocks to customers.

log burner on since September running pretty much 24/7 used 20 cube , heating only. Still use the gas for h/w , central heating only run for 3 hours this winter.

ive gone through a shocking amount since i moved to Bedmond and got an open fire!

 

a more efficient stove is the future with water jacket me thinks.

 

at a guess ive burned a ton bag a week for 4 months!

 

Thats a huge one man carbon footprint for you Tony:001_tt2:

Is that 2 rads and a basin of hot water?

 

4 rads and under floor heating in the kitchen with a regular sized bath.

 

It will do a lot more, it still simmers if you have full draft on.

Cheap as chips!

 

Chips are more expensive, my firewood is arb waste:thumbup1:
