The Committee has decided that we need to remove our open fire, which is ugly, smokey and not very good, with a woodburner, which will be beautiful, smokefree and good. She has asked me to ask you, the assembled experts, what brand I should go for, and any advice. I have tons of wood to burn, but coal could be an option if needed. Suggestions, please!

PM me if you want himself to quote, he installs all types of stoves but always recommends a Clearview.

Charnwood here, does the job, looks nice, heats a ton of rads and parts are readily available. Ours is ten years old and has only needed new grate parts. EDIT: Don't know if clearview have this as well but ours has grate bars that can move between open for coal and closed for wood.

Ours is a Morso O4. Small (5kw), modern looking and easy to use. It's multifuel but I've only used wood so far.

we bought from a local company... liked the idea of something made nearby by local people. it still has the clear glass thing going on..but they call it something else. - so i strongly recommend.. buying local. in the previous house we had a yeoman stove - also good (and local)

Luckily, both Woodsprite and Clearview are local. Now all I have to do is find the model I want (no need for water heating, but a built in pizza oven, or espresso machine would be most excellent.)

Ah, you want their 'Pioneer Oven', then. I am lusting for one.

I like this one. I even have a bluebell wood I can put it in. (Anyone care to give me a rough budget I should be thinking of, for a woodburner, including fitting. And possibly the chimney to be relined.)

We've got this one. Though without the shrubbery.
