Who is the best supplier of wood burning stoves?

We've got a portway inset stove at home (installed 3 years ago) and have been very pleased with it. Its used daily in the winter- good control and heat output, effective airwash, easy to clean and no issues so far

If I was buying a woodburner with back boiler it would have to be Woodwarm and the wildwood 20kw.

Not cheap but quality as the boilers are replaceable when years to come they start to leak! On 99.9% of stoves the boiler is part of the stove body, ie integral boiler so once it leaks it's new stove time. Woodwarm just buy a replaceable boiler only.

I have the baby 4.5kw fireview on my narrow boat and love it.

In my opinion superbly made in Devon, double glazed door and superbly controllable.

Here is a 20kw fireview burning but without the back boilers. The wildwood has different lower styling but same body as the fireview.

Make sure to size the boiler load required and the room heat required too as if you install the stove with a room heat output greater than the room it's in needs, you will roast or turn down the stoves air supply to make it throw out less heat but in doing so reduce the boiler output in doing so. It has to be a balancing act. If the stove produces less room heat than the room requires you can always install a radiator in the same room as the stove.

 

We heated a 3 bed stone house in Normandy with a villager A range ALI. It was rated 13kw to the boiler and approximately 5kw to the room. It was in a big 35 sqm room with a 3.4m heigh ceiling and got it very warm and heated 11 rads. It was a budget UK made stove. Did the job but the glass got dirty, have to clean every day and got through 20 cubic metres of mixed wood over 7 months of winter. Would stay in with the optional flue damper on 3 large logs but if I was buying again, no doubt a Woodwarm!
