Solid Fuel Stove- External Air

    Morning all,

    I'm looking to put in a pretty big solid fuel stove - like an Aarrow Stratford Tf90b or something similar.

    Can anyone tell me if these big stoves take their air from outside or from the room. The room I intend on having the stove in is a little small and I'm concerned about drafts into the room or the stove pulling all the air out of the room to feed the fire.

    Any advice or thoughts would be great.

    Thanks,
    Greg

    No point in having a huge big stove in a small room.

    Buy a stove that is small enough not to overpower the room itself but will heat the room size/house effiecently.

    Its like you would do when chosing the right rad size to the room size.;)
