I know in Meath and a couple of other counties they are now being used by the county councils instead of Stanley Caras. The Apollo is a convection based stove.In reality is just a smaller modern version of the Achill with a few small design differences so should be equally as good. Sloped back box,cast iron bricks and air wash lever in a different place. The Achill is just a more popular look and has a great reputation overall.

I have double doors which open into the kitchen which i was hoping to leave open and heat the downstairs would i be better with the apollo ?? Sanchez you mentioned Meath could you recommend any good suppliers for either of those hendley stoves ??

So now he's talking about drilling a hole in the wall at the side of the chimney breast to 'let the trapped heat out,' is he talking a load of bull?? It just doesn't sound right to me. Also there is a terrible smell off it, it had been lit 5 times its like a smell of fumes but there's no smoke it gave me a headache last night I had to have the patio door open.any help appreciated

I think output wise that size should be ok?! The fireplace in the room was designed to take a flueless gas fire so will need an external flue and have been told that the back of our fireplace surround needs to be removed, jointed and then moved forward as the space that's there is too shallow. Would anyone be able to recommend a one stop shop for buying the stove and getting the above work done?
