Log burners

Any one using a log burning stove a very random question I know 8O

We are thinking of buying one to heat the front room and for the effect as it would be fitted in an inglenook so should look good.

Any advice on types of stove are they good or bad ?

They are great i love mine nothing better after a hard day that to sit by the burner warm up, also make front room look great, I have an arrow it duel fuel so can burn coal aswell but i get free logs so just burn them most of time. I have mine going now for 3 weeks just chuck logs on before you go to bed shut it down and it will still be going in the morning rev it up before work and so on. Saves loads on heating bill and dry washing. here are some pics of mine.

just fired mine up for 1st time this winter - lovely and warm - great way of getting rid of junk mail and leaflets that come through the door! 8)

Thanks for the reply that last photo looks like a christmas card 8)

Going to have a look at Machine Mart in the morning they seem to have a few for sale.

i have one in my living room and garage, only burn logs in the one in the house but throw all me junk in the one in the garage ) one word of advice, i ran out of wood for the one in the garage last year so went and filled my boot with argos catalogues, they are crap as log burner fuel ((

I put in one of these stove inserts this winter - about 3-4 weeks ago - just in the nick of time for this cold snap… here's a pic from their website… and their link…

Just took out the open fire - insert it in - connect up the flexi flue… great heat output and smart looking piece of kit!

Right I've ordered a Tiger 8kw stove so the question has to be asked how many logs do you burn in a day do you burn any thing else

and can you toast tea cakes on them :roll:
