blenheim2 Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 When you are costing the project don't just include the Stove, Chimney Lining, Hearth and labour. You may need to cost in a few stove accessories too; Wood basket/Coal Scuttle, Companion-set, Fire-lighters, Wood-splitting tools (Maul/Saw/Wedges...). You can even get gadgets to turn your old paper waste into paper logs to burn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewBiz Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 I had an open fire taken out and a mulit-fuel Morso stove put in bout 4 yrs ago. Cost about £2300 inc liner, stove, opening up the fireplace, hearth etc. Best move I ever made, much more efficient than an open fire, and much cleaner.

aardvark6535 Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 I ployed with the idea, but with the cost of chimney work and the fire, then getting the fuel it just wasn't cost effective. But if its not for economical reasons then go for it, you can get these fans which dont need power and sit above the stove and convect the heat into the room. The fan seems like a great idea but what happens to the Carbon monoxide which normally exits through the chimney, or have I got it all wrong again as usuall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anna B Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 I'd love a multi-fuel stove, but I don't even have a chimney. Does anybody have any experience of a stove with a stove pipe, (which I presume goes right through the house)? I'd thought of boxing it in later witha false chimney breast. Again, anyone got any ideas about that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Check ebay for secondhand stoves, liners etc bought mine with boiler for £180 delivered from Exeter, fitted and plumbed in using info from the net myself ,not a job for the faint hearted thou.Lost count of total cost but had to do building work, plumbing and redecorating etc,but less than £500 worth the effort local builders and woodland provide the fuel free topped up with smokeless from Wesley Nicholes penistone road s6.

bullerboY Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 There are some modern hitech stoves on the market now which do the central heating and keep your house warm and look very modern.These stoves are very popular in Germany where they buy wood from the forests so you will need a good supply of cheap and plentiful wood.

iansheff Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 I wouldn't mind something like an old pot bellied stove for the greenhouse, was thinking of making a small fireplace as not seen any old stoves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eater Sundae Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 I wouldn't mind something like an old pot bellied stove for the greenhouse, was thinking of making a small fireplace as not seen any old stoves. The ones that Machine Mart sell don't seem very expensive. Does anyone know if they are any good? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who signed it off? All wood burning/multifuel stoves have to been signed off by a Hetas registered engineer. If the work isn't done by someone Hetas registered....then all building regulations should be complied with ....inspected and approved by the council. This not a DIY job!
