    Hi guys, looking to get a stove to replace the open fire. I like the look of the Stanley Oisin and wondering what do owners think of it?

    Also, where would they suggest to buy? Ive seen it for 450 in MD O Sheas - seems to be the cheapest...

    My parents have one. It's a good stove for heat and you will find such a difference between a stove and an open fire on heat output as well as fuel consumption.

    However, the major fault of my parents stove is the lack of an airwash system which causes the glass to become black and remain black after only a few minutes of burning.

    Like most stoves, the Oisin is cast in china and assembled in ireland. I would suggest you look at the hamco allen stove.

    http://www.hamco.ie/products/item/1-the-allen

    It is identical in shape and design to the oisin except that it has airwash. We installed one into our new house 3 years ago and it has lived up to all of our expectations. It was a good bit cheaper than the Oisin too. Hamco are based in Tullamore and have stockists all over the country. They have just as good of back-up as Stanley and a full range of spare parts.

    Ganleys were €400 last October for it while it was €429 in Mullingar. The AGA Little Wenlock is a similar size but has secondary burn and airwash.

    I got the Oisin in a sale for €380 about 3 years ago in McMahons. I bought some flue-work at the same time which brought the whole lot to about 520 if I remember right.
    Not a bother with it since,economical and efficient.
    If I was doing it again I'd allow a deeper hearth to accommodate burning timber/briquettes falling out when I open the door.

    Just seen reilig's post re; the airwash- the Oisin doesn't have this feature which would be a plus. If it doesn't get up to a certain operating temperature it's impossible to see into the stove as the glass is black,but once above (I'd guess 200*C) no need for the air screen. Unless it has another application...

    Hi Just wondering if anyone knows if it is it possible to put in a stove with a back boiler in and then connect it to my hot water system. I have geothermal which gives me under floor heating but run it on night rate. Want to put in a stove for heat during day/ evenings and wonder would I be able to heat the water with the back boiler plumed into the hot water pipe in the house not rads now only hot water for bath shower. The tank is out in the garage and too far away to connect directly to.

    The direct answer is no you can't connect a boiler stove to a hot pipe it must be on a gravity circuit to the cylinder.So in your case with the cylinder in the garage it's a non runner.
    You can still get a room heating stove
