Real Fireplace

Wouldn't change my log burner no matter how messey it can sometimes be, though most of the ash burns at such a hight temperature there's often very little left... and I get free wood, happy days

Your chimney will have to be lined. My flue cost £2k to have installed in 2005, so will be cheaper than this though recommend you use a reputable firm to get a fire certificate etc...

Most places that sell the stove have recommended installers

Next thing u know it'll be show us yr chain saws
 
Flue lining required, even ours which was only 10 years old was not enough for the new standards.
 
You all have some lovely fire places there is nothing better than wood burning on a fire. I have an old place me and the wife brought the place with no roof rebuilt it ourselves with lots of help from friends. But we have not got round to one of our fire places yet :cry:

Very jealous
 
I had the chain saw and axe out this afternoon a nice pile of logs at the ready open fire place in the house and log burner in the barn can't beat it ,the smell ,the wine ,getting into the Christmas sprit , although I can rember buring oak block flooring in the log burner forgot about the tar , the whole stack was glowing white hot had to open all the windows in the middle of January as way to hot and a little smokey to say the least and scary all at the same time :rofl:

That's exactly like ours.

The heat does shoot up but I wonder if its possible to install one of those flaps to control the Bernoulli's principle at work plus convection.
 
I looked into that, but it would be about £500 to do that. Think the whole replacement to the Clearview stove was about £3k or so.

A fireplace brings out the kid in everyone..... and the clothes of a couple of chics that have been lucky enough to see it first hand
 
Wow that seems expensive ,you can't get some fantastic French enamel stoves for £300 + also new English ones for £350 up to £700 mark depending on out put and style etc have a look at the INSTU reclamation website there based in Manchester I used to share the warehouse with lawerance the owner ,and recently sold two to a freind of mine to put in the Yurts in Spain and working great for them they also have a cool website for any one looking for a DIFFERNT kind of holiday www.cloudhouse.es sorry going off topic . The covex liners also can be bought for a good heating shop and can be made to suit most fires and stacks
 
Can't beat a good fire, and they keep you fit. Spent the last two Sundays splitting, sawing and chopping my 2 year old log pile. With luck, should keep me going all winter without having to break into the one year old pile :(
 
Nicked this from my wife's FB page. As you can see, I rarely get a look in with the fire (it was Halloween in case you didn't guess - she's a bit obsessed with it :) ).

Same here, open fires are messy, smelly and too much hard work, I'm a switch on switch off kinda person :)
