Wouldn't have occurred to me to as them about it. I'd have just installed it. ooops.

Wood burners use a lot of wood. Exactly how much depends on the type of wood and the efficiency of your burner, how many hours a day it will be lit.
Out American colleagues go through 3 to 5 cords of wood each winter! A cord being 8ft * 4ft * 4ft of wood (128 cubic foot of wood, minus the spaces between the round logs)
That’s a lot of wood.
Ideally it's been seasoned for at least a year.

Very nice looking stove area NR I want to open mine up next year to create the same look you have, I started this project as a open fire and one thing led to another and I ended up with multi fuel, all happened to fast, so this side of Xmas I am going to run with it, although I did read ment to be a gap each side, for the time being I have added foil reflectors to each side and top its ok for now, ssshhhh


Have you seen these eco fans on youtube, one of my mates lives on a canal boat and swears by it.

Gracias Senor, I think I'll have to have a closer look at eco fans.

Oof I've looked and they are £120, which is £100 more than I would pay.
