It's a proper fan for stoves. Mainly used on narrow boats to push the heat along the boat.

I bought a eco fan. Found it for around £50 ish.

Where did u get the fan from? Must be a robust thing to stand them temps

I have a Firefox stove. 6kw. Cost around £450 ish for the stove but all the other little bits added up to another £200 or so.

You don't need the chimney lined but it can help.

Mine kicks out a lot of heat. Barley have the heating on. I recently got a fan that sits behind and blows the heat forward and that helps to push the air around the house.

I have a Chesney Salisbury 5kw. Ripped out a large limestone fireplace and old gas fire and couldn't be happier.
Store the wood in the garage with a stash in a wicker basket in the lounge and have an ash vacuum with a bin to get rid of it. Of all the things we have done to the house, it's easily the best thing.

Mine is a dunsley it's build great. Them cheap 300 shitters are no good

Check regs on it passing through ceilings and roofs . If house is timer construction they advise against it due to the heat affecting the timber . I have one in mine that's great . But it just chews through anything that goes in it . I might swop my solid flue for one where u can close it down . Can't beat it though when it's one

Ceiling or wall with twin wall flue.

Buy cheap = buy twice; more espensive normally means more efficient, easier to keep clean and give off more heat. I've got a tall legged Clearview Pioneer 400 and dad has both a pioneer and a solution and I couldn't recommend them any more highly!!

I've not got a chimney in this house, Im having a single story extension done (the room it's going in) and thought the flue would just go out through the ceiling.

Not sure how practical it is in a new build like your's Colin, definitely no chimney.

We've Gas one because the previous fireplace was gas and 'it seemed like a good idea at the time'..

I WISH we'd gone for a log-burner now :(

Look at gr8fires.co.uk

Looks nice and give out a lot of heat but be prepared to lots of mess, you need to store the wood somewhere then you need to dispose of the ash.

Anyone got one?

Quite fancy getting one only don't fancy paying 700+ (mainly as it will seldom be used & more for decoration) seen some salvage ones needing some tlc & a paint etc which would do.

Quite a nice feature to finish off a room.
