solid fuel boiler stove

Lainey

hi,

i was hoping someone would have an idea which stove would be the best to get.. we have 2800 sq ft house and i have decided to get a stove instead of a stanley cooker in the kitchen.. i seen a stanford one at the weekend heats up to 19 radiators.. anyone know any other stoves that would be the equivilant???

thanks

Am not recommending any particular stove but am just making a few comments.

• Typical stoves that heat rads have a 1/3 2/3 setup where 2/3 of output goes to rads and 1/3 goes to room the stove is in.
  
• Lets say u need 15kw for the rads, then the room will be getting 7.5kw. if the room is not big enough for 7.5 then u will be too hot.
  
• if you have the stove lighting then u will have to use the heat produced for the rads so u
  may end up heating more rooms to a higher temp than u would normally just to dissipate the heat
  
• Have u room to store the necessary fuel?
  
• Perhaps a proper solid fuel boiler would be a better idea?

Hi Lainey
What exactly do you want to stove to do ????
Is it for room heat / domestic water or radiators or a combination.
