Has anyone installed a Henley Blasket Stove. We are installing a multi fuel stove. Our plumber stated we need a stove that puts out 50,000 btu at least to heat our home and water sufficiently. We have looked at a Reginald stove (48,000 BTU), Black Smith Farrier, Inis Mor Boiler and an Aidan High Pressure stove.

Every stove centre we go to, tell us that their product is better than the last one we seen.(With the sellers stating, this is the stove I have in my house). Getting a bit muddled at the minute.

Help and guidance would be appreciated. We are building a chimney for this so I have to get it right.

Cheers

I went and got the blaskett afterwards. To be honest it turns out that it hasn't been installed correctly by my builder so i can't give any real feed back. Be certain that all the system specs and configuration are agreed before anything is installed. The coil and pipework it is connected to should be 1 inch gravity flow with no interruptions and the pump should be placed on the return from the rads. when i get thing fixed up i'll stick up a post on how it performs.

I finally got it all sorted and couldn't be happier with the setup. I have 12 rads in the house and with a good fire going all these rads will be hot. If you are trying to set this up in conjunction with an oil/gas boiler pm me ur email so i can send ya on some configuration info. It's my experience that these are configured incorrectly more often than not so don't go in head first!

Hey i installed my Blasket stove one year ago to the date and last week my grate started to deteriorate. The fire cement has cracked off on the inside so the fire bricks are loose. As well as this my rads have never heated up but i think this could be due to 10mm copper pipework and some older rads. I have put all new rads upstairs and new qualpex 5/8 pipework to go with but they also dont heat up much. Any suggestions as to what could be the problems.
You mentioned about running in conjunction with Oil which mine does also.

There are some cracks on the inside of mine also. I don't think there as good as the stanley eireann. Thats what i'd buy if i was to do it all again. When you say the grate is deteriorating do you mean the piece that you set the fire on? That would be very disappointing. I'm not a plumber but i don't think a rad circuit should be plumbed with 10mm anything. 5/8 sounds a bit better alright, I think mine is done with 3/4 so there wouldn't be a huge difference. Anyway I think if you don't get any heat in the rads at all, your configuration is not right.

A few people have pm'd me asking how is mine configured so here it is for everyone to see. I can't say this will work for everybody but i'm quite happy with it for the mo.

apoligies mashtun just saw your later post...thanks

Hi there, installed a Henley blasket almost 12 months ago and although the performance is good I do not think it justifies the price as I had yeomans in the past which were much cheaper and every bit as good. i'm now discovering the build quality wasn't any better in the henley and if anything the yeomans were better designed. think if I was to spend this money again (eur 1200) I go for a Stanley like my friends or else settle for a cheaper brand and spend the balance on fuel and hot whiskies. lesson learned.

Have a blasket, grate collapsed & fire bricks are crumbling. The old man has a stanley eireann and hasn't had any such grief. Shell out the extra few bob for the enamel, it's a much better finish
