best of luck with it

i know a lad that installed a wood only stove in his house, worked great on paper,
i.e 25 kgs of timber burned within 1 hour gave enough heat output to heat a buffer tank and / or heat the ceramic chimney breast for 36 hours.
no ash / waste, therefore clean with minimal maintenance

the main problem was
the timber needed to be ideally at 12% moisture content, max moisture content permitted was 18%, otherwise the stove was inefficient and the excess moisture was evaporated off and turned to cresote within the chimney and stove.
the timber the lad had was an ash tree which was cut and stored in a dry shed for 2 years. the moisture content was at best 25%
he ended up using off cuts of dried timber such as that used in internal 2nd fix, or roofing
it ended up being a total waste of time

A bunch of Council houses which had the wood chip boilers installed later had nearly all taken out, Cloughjordan maybe.

[Tail-Lift Wild Hog]

Ive had one for a year now, got a small trailer load of logs for 40euro which did me for 12 months. Mad heat outta my one, never had any problems or complaints with burning the logs neither

[stuck with a green box]

Multi fuel Stanley stove is a few hundred euro I think? Or check online for someone that gas an old Stanley no.7 range ye can sometimes pick them up for a coups hundrd an they last forever

[speedy joe]

have a look at machine mart website in uk

[hedzball]

there a crowd just outside of leap that do em, been there years too!!

[jim'll fix it]

I've got a waterford erin in the gaff here an leave it lit 24-7, fill it at night and again in the mornin, only use the central heating if ive been away and its gone out, savin a bomb on oil, burn logs an turf mostly, only thing id say is id fit one with a back boiler just to give a bit of hot water if i was doin it again.

[ArtoDelSoreArse]

prob with having one is ya need big storage area for fuel (unless ya buy coal in the bag)

you should know that dragqueen must do at leat 3 miles to the bag of turf???

[generalisimo muldoon]

I just put one in the fireplace in the kitchen for heating only. Mad yoke, burns everything from wood offcuts to turf. No coal though, the gas builds up and can explode.
Kiely stoves in mallow do the ones you want todd i think. Have a chat with Dillon, i think he has one installed in his gaff in Douglas. Get on to big Mick, he might let ya have a load of unsold Gibson's and Fenders for burning in it.

[CheesyRider]

Will this do?
The bloke will deliver it too

A good auld army pot belly stove ... Those where the days!!

Yeah, with plenty rags soaked in petrol & oil to get it going. I often saw them glowing red hot if you used coal in them. Happy days in Kilworth Camp!!

@ Tod, I've got a solid fuel stove with built-in boiler in my living-room. I use coal, timber & briquettes in it & it heats 8 rads no bother. Throws out great heat to the living-room too. Got it in Cork Builders' Providers last year, around €1100 I think. From what I've heard, wood-burning stoves are a bit of a bollox because the wood must be totally dried out before you can use it, otherwise you'll have problems. I looked at wood-burners before I bought my solid fuel stove but the problems getting absolutely dry wood put me off.

only thing is whith the back boiler one when you light them you put enough in to burn for the night cos you cant open again till its out cos you get tons of smoke out, where the ones with no back boiler you can open all you want.

an the timber dont have to be that dry at all

wood pellet ones are a bollox, i just want the one u can fuck logs and turf into,iv got gas central heating but kitchen diningroom needs somthing more to heat it, even an aul pot belly wud do.

have the pellet one, i find it ok cheap to run too. but a very contrary yoke
i bought a 1ton bag of pellets for €200, about 8 weeks ago still have a third of the bag left and its on every eve from 6 till 9.30.and more at the weekends.

[davie8]

you could try this crowd www.thestoveshop.ie they have a good selection . I'm gonna get one myself with a back boiler to keep the oil bill down. shop around though, big price difference in other places i've tried, oh yeah and, haggle.

[flynn]

I know your not in Dublin but this may be of some use to the Dubs on here.

Bought one 2 weeks ago, its not a free standing one.
Basically it sits into the standard size opening of a fireplace & is set up tight against the firebreast.
Seen it in a shop in TJ O`Mahony`s in Balymount Dublin, it cost €280.
Went into another place 2 minutes up the road & they were selling it for €800, the terms were that they had to install it & that was approximatly €150.

I installed mine in 10 minutes.


Moral of the story, have a good shop around before buying

Here`s a pic

You can get a stove without the boiler miles cheaper than what I paid for mine. I needed the boiler. Take a look in Builders' Providers & see what they have. They have them in MD O'Shea's in Ballincollig too but they are fairly pricey.
