Or a multi fuel burner? Also how difficult are they to install, hoping to install one in the very near future and want to take out the existing old gas fire and fireplace and replace it ?

Buy a good one and get a HETAS certified engineer to install it. You'll probably need a flexible chimney liner. Burn only seasoned hardwood. Sit back, feet up, glass of wine, enjoy.Or a multi fuel burner?

Get it installed professionally is my advice. When I got mine I had no end of people telling me do it yourself, you can use the original flue from the gas fire etc etc. 10 minutes on google and it all turned out to be bollocks. Get someone in who knows what they’re doing. At the end of the day I came to the conclusion heaven forbid something went wrong with my kids asleep upstairs and even if they wasn’t then finding out you’ve made your home insurance worthless because it wasn’t installed by someone properly qualified to install it. Was worth the piece of mind in the end for me.Or a multi fuel burner?

One very important thing. Make sure there is plenty of ventilation in the room or you will get combustion spillage (Co) into the room.Needs to be Ecodesign approved to burn sustainable fuel and get an air flow front glass design if possible to keep doors clean. Betas installer will issue you with a compliance certificate which will be requested should you sell your property. 5in flue running either internally or externally with an inspection plate to check safe operation. Use coal where possible as it burns much hotter and longer than logs.
Yes, I heard this also, from 2025 (prospectively). Installed ones, anyway, as the government will have a job banning portable/outdoor ones. Won’t stop them trying though, I imagine.Wasn't there talk of them being banned at some point in the future?
It won’t be retrospective so any installed stoves at that time will be fine.Yes, I heard this also, from 2025 (prospectively). Installed ones, anyway, as the government will have a job banning portable/outdoor ones. Won’t stop them trying though, I imagine.

Air Lingus must have fantastic checked in baggage allowances!Lit ours for the first time tonight , lovely and a cousin from Ireland’s brought some turf over too
When you say that do you mean in your house that you are getting their fumes?/"Maybe read up on your journey towards illness if you buy one? Trendy, money saving, bad for your health.
Not a fan of these in towns although I totally understand why people may choose them at the moment. My neighbour has one and it is like I’m living in the 60’s with all of the fumes coming off their chimney.
Major health warning to anyone with a wood burning stove in home
Wood burning stoves produce 750 times more tiny particle pollution than a modern HGV truckwww.leicestermercury.co.uk
You can't beat the smell of a peat fire.Lit ours for the first time tonight , lovely and a cousin from Ireland’s brought some turf over too
