What Wood burning/multi fuel stove?

[Ilikebeaver]

We have the chimney sweep coming around to our new house soon to get the chimneys swept and ready to be used.

However, we are considering installing a wood burning stove as we got so much use out of it in the last house.

The chimney sweep has recommended we would need between 5-6kw.

I don't want to spend a huge amount, but want to get something that is easy to use and not too modern looking.

I like the look of the Aga Wenlock and the Carron enamel ones...

Budget of around £500-£800.

Prefer UK made which is why the AGA one is appealing

Room is 4.9m x 4.3m

Here is pic of the current fireplace: :

The opening is only 57cm wide so big log burners will not fit

We've got a Morso Squirrel - small but incredibly efficient. When we were shopping around our local stove man said "it may look small but boy is it efficient" - and he was right!

Also the Chilli Penguin stoves are getting a good name round these parts, where log burners are common and the customers are discerning - made just down the road in Pwllheli too.

You won't go far wrong with any of these stoves.

We used a morso squirrel in a holiday cottage earlier this year. Was very impressed by its controllability.

It's small but so usable.

However, I called a dealer today and they were quoting £1000+ for them, so too much for me

That cat needs at least another years seasoning before it's ready to burn?

He blends in quite well.
He goes in there when he doesn't want to be bothered by the dog who won't notice him at all when he's there
