[Dean Lofthouse]

So if you get a DEFRA approved one are you more likely to keep the local authorities happy?

I'm afraid they're not in the same league as most of the stoves already mentioned and that's why they're a lot cheaper.

 

If you think Esse's castings are'nt as good as they used to be...

If you live in a smoke control area - yes:001_smile:

 

Mind you, even if you're not, you'll be more popular with your non woodburning neighbours.

We have a Hunter 14 its great. Its running 12 rads and its very easy to control. I burn nothing but softwood on it and you can make it last for ages.

My dad has a Hunter 20b its about 18 yrs old and still going strong.

If you are in a smoke control area, then the Dunsley Yorkshire is by far the best choice.

woodwarm are really really really good.

 

As efficient and well constructed a stove as you'll come across. One of the pioneers of the ''air wash'' clean burn system and a sight cheaper than Clearview.

I've decided to pay extra and get a bigger one. Been looking at the dunsley highlander 7kw. might be an idea to do my fireplace first tree monkey.

If you burn DRY wood you don't need a smokeless stove.

 

It is an offense to create "dark smoke", my brother has a none approved wood burner, a neighbour of his complained to the council ( he saw my brother stacking logs in his garage when gas prices where high )

 

The guy from the council came round one hour after the fire had been lit (you can make dark smoke for one hour per day, while getting the fire going) looked at his chimney, there was more stuff coming out the gas cowl next door than his.

 

He said that fine, never even asked to see the stove or what type it was.

I'm afraid this council guy's attitude is not a typical response. I know of many situations where councils have forced un-approved wood stove users to remove their appliances or face severe penalties.

 

If you live in a smoke controlled area, get an approved stove - it really isn't worth the risk.
