    Hi folks,

    someone suggested to us today to consider a solid fuel stove for the living room. The fireplace is badly designed with draw issues and most of the heat going up the chimney.

    Any way, before places open tomorrow, can anyone give any indication in the cost of installing a standard size solid fuel stove into an existing chimney? free standing is good, not a purpose built flush one in the existing fireplace if that makes sense.

    Just looking for rough thoughts on what you'd get the stove for and what is involved in installing (cost time hassle etc)

    The cheapest part of it is buying the stove fitting can range from a couple hundred to a thousand or more.There stealing of things to take into account type of installation location of appliance and a lot more info would be needed for anyone to give a figure on it

    Worth every penny.

    Friend of mine bought one of these on adverts.

    http://www.amazon.co.uk/CAST-IRON-WOODBURNING-MULTIFUEL-STOVE/dp/B0050DTWKQ/ref=pd_sim_sbs_kh_2

    He has it just for his sitting room as well.

    I thought it was stupid idea when he told me about it, as the open fire he had gave off great heat.I didn't see the point when the open fire did the job.

    But that little thing gives off serious heat, he has the sitting room door open most of the day and it spreads heat all over the house, rarely use the oil as well because of it.

    Great little thing, when I have a bit more spare cash I will be buying one as well, have to sort out my car first :mad:

    I wouldn't worry too much about installing it.

    There’s plenty of treads here dealing with stove installation, some have pictures instructions even.

    Installing a stove provided you follow the manufacture instruction, falls well within the diy list of things you can do, provided you follow the installation instructions and you cant go wrong.

    Friend did it himself with the help of his wife.

    Edit, think it was this guy he bought it off.

    Look like it will cost about 400e all in for the 7kw stove and the kit ( 1m flue pipe, 30mm bend ) and delivery.

    Not bad.
