I want to get a wood-burning stove for my living room. Have any of you guys got any specific recommendations/horror stories about any of the manufacturers. Sean's note in his article about buying the best one can afford is pretty good advice I think and echoed by pretty much everyone I've spoken to (friends, family, and anyone else I can bend the ear of!), but there seems to be little concensus on anything else. Any recommendations? |
I think most manufacturers seem O.K. we've got a Clearview, which I like. Jonnyboy's going with Charnwood. Most makers have specs for their range on their websites, and usually a gizmo for calculating the output you need. Clearview invented the airwash system, which stops the glass from sooting up, most makers use a similar idea now.
If you want to be traditional you could get a 'Franklin Stove', designed by Benjamin Franklin, they don't have glass doors, so you can't see the fire when they're shut, but they also work with the doors open and you can get grills for them if you fancy cooking. |
