    Hi,

    Does anybody have any experience of this inset boiler stove? The quoted figures are 3Kw Room and 16Kw boiler which would be perfect for my requirements so I'd be interested to know if stack up. Also anyone any ideas if it has some sort of tertiary air or cleanburn system?

    Sanchez83 if you're reading this can you comment if you know who this stove is made by (you seem to be somewhat of an expert!) as i know you said the Elm is (correctly) made my Thorma and rebadged, would be helpful so I can find more technical information on the stove as Kingstars website is terrible!

    Many Thanks!

    Their Phoenix boiler is made in China to the best of my knowledge.
    I haven't had any feedback from them as I don't know anyone who has fitted one.
    However I have seen one on display in a shop and it looks a good build quality.
    I can't be certain on this one but it may be made by the same factory which makes the Olymberyl Alpha boiler(which is a decent model).
    However I would be very surprised if it is the heat output it is stating.There is no way it's 16kw to the boiler!
    It seems over estimated to me.Ask the retailer for an independent cert to show the heat outputs before you consider trying it.
    What output do you require?

    Would you look at the Stratford Eb16 insert, we got one put in last summer and it's doin great. Very impressed with it.
    We have it zoned to up stairs, down stairs, under floor & hot water.

    Hi, Im just wondering does it take a long time to heat it up? does it use a lot of fuel?
