I am toying with a log burning stove which can do hot water and CH.

I would be interested to hear from anyone burning logs as to whether
they find it economical or not and any other input.

Cheers.

next door but one only have a log burner for hot water and heating.
The previous guy who put it in used to have his lounge windows open
all winter as the lounge was sooo hot in order to heat the rest of the
place.
The new people think it's better than the coal fire they used to have.
Even two tips of logs a year is cheaper than a months gas in winter I
think. It's just the effort of cleaning the fire and keeping it going.

So the concensus is that it's worth looking at.
We stayed in a cottage which had a wood burner last weekend which got me
thinking about it. I was surprised by how much wood we seemed to get
through but I have no idea how much it costs.

Thanks for everyone's input.
