the goat 642 Posted January 23, 2015 Report Share Posted January 23, 2015 Tell me about it Love wood lol Gaz bad man piece of kit that mate. Never used one of them sadly and probably never will with the firm I'm with, utility arb mainly. Rigging and cranes are something I'd love to get into more once I'm a seasoned climber. Good pics keep up the good work Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Blackbriar 8,568 Posted January 23, 2015 Report Share Posted January 23, 2015 Bit of a tangent, but I've got no chimney. How easy would it be to fit a burner ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

shepp 2,285 Posted January 24, 2015 Report Share Posted January 24, 2015 One thing I would like to add. It is best to get the correct size wood burner for the room, possibly 1 kw over if you like. I have an average size living room and my 5 kw burner will easily take the room up to 24 deg with the two adjoining doors open, leading upstairs and onto a large kitchen. One thing they struggle with is spreading heat through doors and around a house, so the room the burner is in gets very hot. If you go for too big a wood burner, you may struggle to share the room with it, as they only run efficiently when up to a certain temperature. So the option of having a half fire in a big burner does not really work, a hot fire in a small burner is much better. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rob284 1,678 Posted January 25, 2015 Report Share Posted January 25, 2015 Bit of a tangent, but I've got no chimney. How easy would it be to fit a burner ?like said, either a twin wall or if its on an exterior wall you could build a stack and line it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bunny tickler 875 Posted January 25, 2015 Report Share Posted January 25, 2015 i am seriously thinking of putting one in my parlour but above where it can only fit is a flight of hardwood stairs ,im sure the heat would warp them ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rake aboot 4,929 Posted January 25, 2015 Report Share Posted January 25, 2015 All my heating and hot water are fed from this and a solar thermal panel. Best money I ever spent on the house. I love it. It`s on just now with three dogs in front of it, and a kettle warming on the top of it. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I'm going to put some thing like that in my house, but don't need the hot water and heating Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rake aboot 4,929 Posted January 25, 2015 Report Share Posted January 25, 2015 the best part of the installation was the solar thermal panel bud. Hot water for showers from the sun. Brilliant Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Brilliant The girls Dad has a stove business. He has just be on a course to qualify to install them as well. I'll be getting one fitted soon which will also be plumbed in. Never knew about the solar panel thing but I'll get that too...? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
