A wood burning stove can be a great focal point in your living room, creating a warm, cosy feel. It can also be a practical way to cut or avoid rising heating bills - 43% of the stove owners we surveyed* said they believe getting a stove had saved them money.

Look . Everyone needs a wood stove . Especially for this winter. Buy a used stove from the 70s or so . Use the good expensive pipes the triple wall ones. And mack shot you dont need electricity to run it. Never get a pellet stove . A good old wood stove, you can burn half your house in it if you need to.

Generally useful info… but no mention of approximate prices 💰

The stove shown requires more clearance, its needs a insert type or 40~70cm, the top fire surround will get really hot.

The speaker says that to calculate the wattage you need, multiply the height, width and length of the room, and divide by 14. She doesn't explain what that means!! How is that calculation used?

[gdfggggg]

Surely, if the wattage is too high you just put less wood on? It’s a bit like saying my central heating can pump out 40degress so I’ll keep the temperature up?!

question - we have log burner build into the wall and covered with tiles around. cant put anything on it. if l get a fan and put it just at the base, in front of it -would that work?

[capemaxi]

I would love a wood stove or insert that Gets so hot that the plants wilt, the dog pants, the cat’s hair falls out, and I have to run outside and throw my nighty hem up to cool off. Sigh. Give me more BTUs.

[Gollammeister]

most of us council tenants would apreciate the warmth of a multifuel stove would cut gas electric bills and alllow people to stay warm in winterbut council being council wont most likely allow a tenant to have one professionally installed

Coal is not more expensive currently in 2022. Oh and don't burn paper Which.

[paulclark]

Thought you need upstand on your hearth, your pictured tiles flush with carpet ???

[aritshah]

@1:36 there is nothing like Watt is the unit of Power

[paultennant]

You said that wood is cheaper well i disagree coal is much cheaper to run on a stove i lost total respect for this presentation due to incorrect advice
Wood is much more expensive to burn unless you can get it for free

[bernardcharlesworth]

Very simplistic not really useful some installers with fit a flue liner without insulation which it may need no mention of health problem or dust problem from smaller burners also it is not practical in most cases to heat a whole house with wood. Many people of fitter wood boilers only to replace by oil.which does not really have the technical knowledge it once had 30 years ago.shame.

"Get a stove with a wattage that's too high, and you'll end up opening windows to cool it down"... No, just PUT LESS BLOODY FUEL IN THE THING. God's sake. What an utterly moronic statement 🤦‍♂
