The Country Kiln cast iron stove at £299 + £35 delivery seems
amazingly cheap for an 8kW stove.

A 2 door 8kW Stovax Stockton (which we know to be a good brand) is
around £800 including delivery which is a lot more.

However saving over £450 is not worthwhile if the product is crap.

So does anyone have any experience of Country Kiln stoves?

The expensive part of a woodburner is installing a suitable flue.

Thats this year.

Next year it will be finding the wood.
Yep. Quotes for installing the required flue and parts for our thatched
house varied from £1100 to £4000, and that was without the stove. The
flue is still legal for an open fire, however.
Ouch!
Instead, we now have a Chimney Balloon up there, which provides no
heat, but stops the cold air coming down. It also quietens the noise of
the doves sitting on top.

..errrr....O.K. - assume that I have some idea of the cost of installing a
flue, and also that the cost will be roughly the same which ever stove I
buy.

Do you have any experience of Country Kiln stoves?

Hi, a friend of mine has had one for a couple of years now, fantastic
and no problems.

I am ordering one from them soon(ish).

For £4000 you can have a chimney built!!

Thanks - good to know someone has had a good experience with them.
They do seem amazingly cheap and there also seems to be a sale on.
Will talk to them tomorrow.

We will be having a stainless steel flue up through the roof - concealed
where it passes through the upstairs bathroom - and hopefully costing nearer
to £1,000.
Takes up less space than a chimney and is more flexible with the routing
between floors.
This work we are planning will remove the remains of our chimney along with
lots more internal walls and stuff.
