    Hi folks
    i have an air tight build house and wish to install to inset stove burners. i have external air supplies installed. basically just a vent from outside brought into the fireplace area underneath.
    does anyone have any experience installing such stoves with external air supplies? manufacturer names and model would help. i worked out i need a 7kw and 9kw stove..
    any help appreciated

    Have a look at Fondis, I have a F50. This is air tight but not the not the best looking, its nice enough but a little indistrial.

    BTW a 9kw stove in a well insulated air tight home would nearly heat the whole house. I have it in a very large room and 8kw is way to much. I wish it was around 4 or 5kw as I can not have a roaring fire without opening up my door to outside.

    I asked Murphys in Kinvara about this...apparantly there's a new one coming out shortly that fits into existing fireplaces/openings...cant rememeber the name of it, but if you give them a shout I'm sure they'll know the one.

    check out the clearview models... uk manufactured, looks good

    Been checking into these ourselves. living stone in limerick and dublin do the Stovax stoves and elm fireplaces do a version with an external air supply . They were considerably cheaper than murphys heating.

    Stovax have a range of insert and freestanding with external air. Got one in Nagles in Mallow. Shopped around and found them the cheapest. Worth a call
