We had one fitted at Foul Play HQ and it's lovely and cosy but with the cost of logs/coal I don't think it's any cheaper than gas to be honest. I'm glad we went for a multi-fuel stove as we've found that we get more heat from the coal and it lasts longer than the logs.
Who got quoted £5,000 !!! Been ripped off there me thinks. Buy the liner yourself off the internet and also don't buy one of these Chinese log burners either as they crack very easy.
I done my homework and got a liner for £300.00 all approved by BS Standards and bought a Villager 5K Stove which doesn't require an airbrick for ventilation which cost £450.00 and the got in installed for about £300.00 I think And then in invested in an Eco Fan from Amazon for £90.00 and that pushes the heat around the front room and kitchen very well. Logs cost £80.00 a load down here and two loads have done me since October and heating hasn't been on once
To be honest I'm not overly bothered about the cost of logs/coal I quite fancy sitting in front of a nice log fire in the middle of winter, which this year may well be August. I haven't got a chimney so will need something fitted think its gonna cost mind you.
I am getting a quote tomorrow to see about having a log burner installed into my living room. Does anyone know the pros and cons of having one and will this potentially save me money on fuel bills. Any advice would be appreciated.
We started using our fire place a few weeks ago. Logs alone burn really quickly, so add in some coal to slow them down and get much more warmth.
