I had some recent quotes for a stove and decided I would go for a cheaper option of just plaster and paint behind and around a new stove to replace my fireplace. 
 

I had looked at brick cladding initially and after phoning one place to amend my quote they added a Promat chamber which looks to be an insulating fire board. 
 

the other place that I got a quote from didn’t suggest this, is it common or really necessary? It’s £300 which is basically the same price as the cladding was going to be.

Welcome to the site.

 

I am a major distributor for Arada and Morso and have been for many years.

 

The Arada Hamlet range is an entry level product,  designed specifically for builders and developers who want a decent stove at a price level that is comparable with the better quality Chinese stuff.    The visible glass size is significantly smaller than the more popular Ecoburn and Holborn ranges,   Hamlet has a 10 year casing warranty which is the norm for a quality stove manufacturer,  the Ecoburn and Holborn have a lifetime casing warranty.    This is a warranty against faults in parts used in manufacture and the manufacturing process,  it does not cover you against abuse or ingression of water.    These products have a steel body with a cast iron door.

 

The 4412 is a fairly new model, its been out 2 or 3 years,  steel body with steel door,   door closes magnetically which is a nice touch,     10 year casing warranty.     I have sold about 10 but have had one where the door came open when the stove got hot,  Morso changed it though.   Having a distrust of this system I do make sure every 4412 that goes out then the door closes as it should.   Other than that it does what it says on the tin.

 

The Morso Badger 3116 is one of my favorite stoves,   made from heavy duty cast iron it works superbly.   The visible glass size is a bit small when compared to some but Morso have never been a company to follow fashion.    If in 50 years you need some parts for your 3116 then they will be available and if still in production will be the same as the 3116s in current production.    

 

Since its launch 3 years ago the Charnwood Aire 5 has been my best seller,  followed the the Ecoburn Widescreen, I would recommend that you also consider Aire 5 but it does need a 150mm flue where the others in England can all be flued on a 125mm system which of course is cheaper.

 

All the above are 2022 compliant. 

 

Hope that helps.

Hi, thanks so much for talking the time for the detailed and helpful response. Apologies for the delay in replying, had a new arrival in the household and things have been a bit hectic.

I'm getting back to things and think we'll go for the badger (most likely the 3112 for the multifuel option)

Thanks again

Hi all,

I have been reading these forums for weeks and can't make my mind up about a new stove (woodburner or multi-fuel).

I'm between the Morso 3112, 3116, 4412s and the arada/hamlet widescreens.

My current problem is my Mrs likes the contemporary look stoves (Badgers) and I want a good sized window. I live in Northern Ireland and the Arada/Hamlet ranges seem to be double the price here and around the same as the Morso prices.

I like the look of the Morso 4412, modern with a big window, but I can't find very much online in terms of reviews or comments from people that have used them and worry about spending that much without finding any user/seller feedback.

The Solution 5 widescreen and Ecoburn 5 Widescreen both have great windows and seem popular and I just can't decide if there are any pros and cons from any of the mentions models or each other.

Any advice would be much appreciated
