Solid fuel stove to replace open fire in terraced house?

[energyassessor]

Hi,
Looking for advice on a
Solid fuel stove to replace open fireplace in terraced house.
The house has average insulation, double glazing and has gas central heating.
If you've fitted or specified one recently I would appreciate if you point me in the direction of a good solid fuel stove.

many thanks
Gary

Hi there, we lived in a very cold, single glazed, uninsulated house in crumlin for two years. We bought a morso badger stove and fitted it to the existing chimney. It was just fantastic - nice and small size, used very little fuel and the room was roasting. It was in an upstairs room but if it was down stairs the rooms upstairs would have benefitted too. We only burned off cuts of building timber as we had a free supply. It was expensive but I couldn't recommend it more highly.

You need to be pretty careful about what timber you burn in a stove, if they they have too much moisture they can cause issues with the integrity of the cast iron case.

Try to build up reserves in a shed over the summer and have it dry.
