Multi Fuel Stoves (Not A Gas Bottle Question!)

[sparky_col]

we have a stovax its far too big for the room its in and we have to open other room doors sometimes because it gets so hot, we burn seasoned wood only but have burned coal and coke on it in the past occasionally, weve had it for over 20 years and its still going strong.

I have a Charnwood C4 only a small 4.9kw multi fuel version and I'm really pleased with its output keep it running and heats up most of the house.

Would maybe like a little bit bigger but would have needed fireplace work doing to open it up wider.

13kw wow that's a beast need a good forest next door or make friends with a tree surgeon be toasty though

Have had several wood burners, the ones that stand out are Morso squirrel, Jotul "Long box type" this took logs up to 28ins long, a monster Coalbrookdale and a Vermont Castings Defiant. I bought the last one for £80 but the rear baffle was cracked. A new old stock replacement was £28. All these are expensive new and there is no issue with quality. My neighbour is on his second failed Far East cheapo in 4years and is now using the Vermont, which I have had for over 20years. My first one was a Taiwanese potbelly type. The castings were not good in that there were gaps everywhere and could not control the air supply well enough. Didn't crack though.
