Stove size

Recommended Posts

I am an Esse dealer, given the size of room at 80 cum meters, poor insulation so divide by 12 = 6.5kw, then add on for staircase , especially if the staircase is within 3 or 4 m of the stove then it has to be the 200. While stoves are most efficient running pretty well flat out a genuine 5kw wont be enough.

 

Heat outputs in stoves are nominal, like a car doing 60mph, more heat can be obtained by loading small pieces of hardwood or softwood or solid fuel such as anthracite, if you want less heat put less fuel in but keep the air supplies pretty well open.

 

You could also look at the new Esse 700 Vista, thats about 10kw, might be a bit to much, or the Arada I600SLF, this is a big 5kw nominal with actual heat output range of 2kw - 9kw. Most 5kw nominal stoves run 3kw - about 7kw.

 

Hope that helps, pm me if necessary, buy it from you local independant Esse dealer, NOT one of the online companies, support from them is zero in the event of a problem.

Thanks for that. I will be getting an Esse dealer to supply and fit.

 

The 700 also looks nice so that's another option if we need that kind of output.

DONT go for the old 700 double door, getting the ash pans out was a major pain in the backside. The new single door 700 Vista is far better.

Never had any issue with double doors not sealing but can understand how it happens with cheap imported stoves as the casings tend to buckle.

Last bad one I saw was a Charnwood. Good looking stove but it was impossible to shut down due to air leaking through the middle seal. We had Dovre years back with same problem. Seen countless Villagers with poor door seals were they meet but admittedly these were quite basic stoves but would never have a double door model myself.

Single doors show off the flames better as well.

 

Agreed but its all down to what SHE likes. Last winter with stoves like the Esse 100 and Villager Chelsea it was mainly single doors, the two winters previously double door versions outsold single doors.
