WE had one for two years. Couldn't wait to get rid of it.
Sweeping the chimmo twice a year, 4 cords of wood a year. Kettle taking 15 mins to boil.
My garden built brick rocket stove burnt less fuel and was twice as hot as our rayburn.
Got to a stage where the immersion heater was on more than every before.
Well rid of it.
BUT the little Aarrow multi fuel stove in it's place is fab.
1/3 the size, twice the performance, 1/4 of the price.
1/2 tonne of coal a year or wood as and when I can scrounge some.
