    I was looking at getting a solid fuel stove (probably one with a back boiler so it can heat the radiators & hot water). While looking at all the different products I was wondering if it would be worth my while getting a solid fuel range - and then being able to cook on it.

    I am going to keep the oil in the house so will have to get a twin coil cylinder - so we will be able to have heat on timer also.

    If I was going to get a stove to heat radiators & boiler - is it that far a step forward to get a range (I was raised with a solid fuel Stanley - so know everything on how to clean & the work involved).

    Any experience, advice or warnings would be really appreciated.

    You could just go for a flat topped stove with backboiler. A lot cheaper to buy.
    If I was to buy a solid fuel range it would probably be a warmsler. Warmsler is german I believe. Supposed to be far more economical than a rayburn etc and you can raise/lower the grate for different boiler outputs. You could look for a used tirolia. They are good. Just make sure the boiler is sound.

    If you only wanted to run 2 very small rads and water how about an esse ironheart? Although they are mostly steel. It even has a glass door to view the fire:) Or a standard esse.
