Wood Burning Stove

[stew]

I like the sound of your method Baloney but why such an emphasis on lining the chimney etc and at thon cost.  Don't want a delboy job.

A pellet stove is the way to go brilliant altogether and very cheap to run.

I don't have one, wish I did but a mate does that lives over here and they are fantastic and economical.

My brother in law has been selling stoves for a good few years now in Cookstown, and if anyone wants any help or advice, drop me a pm and I will send you on his number.

Lining is advisable but not mandatory as it will help the chimney draw better and of there are any leaks in the chimney will prevent you getting poisoned!

What exactly is being supplied in terms of material and labour for the quoted figure? Is there any construction work involved i.e. making the recess bigger, brickwork etc? If it is simply to pull the existing fire out and put a new stove in place with a chimney liner then he is taking the hand.

Pulling the old fireplace out, using metal surround instead of brick, putting stove in and connecting it to the chimney.

I went looking recently about a stove also and was told by numerous people to stay away from the Stanley ones as they are now being produced in China and not of the same quality as the older ones. I was advised to go for an Innis one which are made in Galway and are a steel construction or a Douvre which are scandivian and are cast iron . The brother has an Innis one in for 2 - 3 years and never had a bother with it also 5 year warranty with them and parts are easy to get also

when did they start to be produced in china? my house was built in 2009 and a stanley was put in at the time.

I've a charnwood Island 3B and its the spotty dog, but I've noticed the rope for sealing the doors is coming away and need replaced. Is that something you can do yourself or better to get someone to service it?

[nrico2006]

Anybody recommend someone to install one?

My builders put it in place and sealed up round the flue, and the plumber did the rest as it had a back boiler.

I got spare rope with mine so assume it is a DIY job (although my stove is Morso).

Not putting in a back-boiler on the stove is the most idiotic thing I did in our house.

Did you get anything to stick it in place or does it jam in the doors recess?

I haven't replaced it yet but will have to check it. Wee slather of fire cement is recommended, I might even have got a wee tube of it but I'm sure it is as hard as the road now.
