Hi Guys,

Can you install a multi fuel stove directly to rads with no cylinder? and have a pump circulating the water from the tank above?

Short answer is no.Get plumber in that is familiar with solid fuel installations and get their advice on what's the best and safest way to go about it.

Head is still melted on stove choice. Im still leaning towards a Woodwarm Firefiew insert but im still open to suggestions. So If you had a budget of say 1300 for a good quality, efficient insert stove what would be your top 3 choices?

Anyone?

Our cara refitted with marble surround and cast insert. Can't light for a few days but very happy with the look...

The fireplace? The flu is way off centre in the chimney breast. The previous owners extended the chimney breast about a foot to the right. Otherwise we would have had one of those fireplaces with the opening on one side of the surround..

something like this..

i know when i asked for a quote a builders suppliers down the country (simons in boyle) they were 105 (or maybe it was 165) for a flexible flu kit for a 9 metre chimney.. i have seen prices of up on 600 euro quoted though in various places!

Friend got a price from tj o mason's of a bit under 500e. It's a "kit" its not cheap, fireplace shop for supplying and fitting it is 675 so only a saving of 100, would have the hassle of picking it up and that.

Hi,

Just new to this forum - some great information. Wondering if anyone can advise on the following:

We are looking at getting an Insert Stove to heat 10 Radiators. We have narrowed our search down to the Stanley Cara+ or the Charnwood SLX45. Both are inserts with boilers, prefer the look of the Stanley but fear it may not be as good as the Charnwood.

1. Has anyone any experience of the Cara+ - love to hear it.
Where is it manufactured? I thought Ireland, but read somewhere here that Stanley stoves are made in China?
2. Has anyone experience of the Charnwood - love to hear this too, Good or Bad.

Any advice or thoughts greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Any one know we're i can get this in Dublin ?

Hi folks, we have a large lounge which is hard to heat. It is 26 ft x 12ft. We are strongly thinking about a stove which would then also throw heat through to the kitchen and upstairs etc due to our layout.

My questions relate mainly to chimney cleaning/maintenance. Assume we get a standard non boiler stove fitted to our standard fireplace.

1.Would the chimney cleaning be done from the bottom up through the stove?

2.Is the cleaning involved any different to a standard chimney clean?

3.Can anyone recommend a company in the Limerick area to do the job including coming out to check your fireplace etc before placing an order?

Thanks!

We have a Yola insert, Irish made which heats 5 single and 2 double rads, all quite long rads. We're quite happy with it.
