Comes with telescoping pipe with the entire thing is a small box to be assembled when needed. Sit the stove on a base of brick and run the pipe out the window through a sheet metal insert.

RE: No chimney!
get a wood stove made out of a gas cylinder on Ebay( or get someone to make you one!) then like me you can keep it in reserve until TSHTF, stick the pipe out of a window or a vent, or if your real handy knock a hole through an outside wall, or set it up outside under a roof of corrugated metal, you'll need to get in a stock of wood to season unless you've got access to a stock post shtfTongue

RE: No chimney!
Great ideas, Mortlake and BP - thank you very much.

I'm still going for the full monty if I can, but yours are both excellent back-up plans and I'm inclined to try them anyway. This is a big house, and two woodburners would undoubtedly be better than one. Plus (as Timelord said) a small woodburner is something I could take with me if/when we bug out anyway.

Brilliant, everyone. I can't believe how much help you've given me. Thanks to all - and to SD for such a great forum!

RE: No chimney!
you dont need a huge great thing, a small one will do just as well, make sure it has a hotplate you can cook off when the power goes off, a wood stove to me is no darn good unless you can cook off it in an emergency.

RE: No chimney!
There are major differences between small and large stoves when sing them on a daily basis.

While a small stove can be packed away and set up as we have described a larger stove will take bigger wood, allowing a longer burn time between feedings and less wood splitting.

It will also heat a larger area.

The smaller pack stoves will need feeding every hour and will only warm a confined space. It is really disheartening to watch a little stove glow red hot and be freezing to death a few feet away from it.

RE: No chimney!
modern English houses are quite small, you dont need a wopping big woodstove that puts out 7KW or whatever in a smaller space, you'd never be able to get in the room for the heat, you need something thats puts out about 1KW per hour.

True for a small house but there are as many older large/tall roomed houses in the UK also. open plan is even worse :-(
