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.

buy.

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.

Kevin, this may be getting a bit wierd, but I had a quick nosy Google (just
wondering how much information there is out there) and have found a Facebook
account for someone of your name, who went to Anglia Rushkin Universtiy.

Now this is probably not you, but if it is I think we have an aquaintance in
common.

Am I about to hit the six degrees of separation?

There is not a lot TO a wood burning stove really.

I've never found one that was UNfit for purpose.

If you like the style, go for it.

I'd assume there's no rules about what can be used ...
Unless the people who make them from old gas bottle things and sell
them on ebay comply with regs (I should probably go and read a listing
to see what it says...)

Am too easily distracted by how to make one though

AVOID THEM LIKE THE PLAGUE!!!!

THE STOVES ARE CHEAP & NASTY CHINESE IMPORTS WHICH ARE LOW QUALITY!

THE COMPANY THEMSELVES TALK A GOOD GAME ONLINE BUT THEY ARE BASED IN A WOODEN SHED AT THE BACK OF THEIR HOUSE WHICH IS UP A DIRT TRACK FULL OF POTHOLES & THE SO CALLED 'SHOWROOM' IS A BASIC DOUBLE GARAGE WITH A FEW STOVES SPREAD AROUND THE PLACE.

FURTHERMORE, IF YOU ARE LOCAL THEY SEND THE FITTER, ARTHUR FROM LANARK WHO THEY DONT TELL YOU IS MERELY A SUB CONTRACTOR & IF YOU HAVE ANY PROBLEMS THEY ARENT THE LEAST BIT INTERESTED AS BY THAT TIME THEY HAVE YOUR CASH & DONT CARE!

I BOUGHT A STOVE WHICH THEY SENT FITTER TO INSTALL & IT WAS THE WORST MISTAKE EVER!

THEY CUT HOLE IN ROOF & MERELY SAT FLUE PLATE ON TOP OF ROOF INSTEAD OF UNDER TILES, NOW THE WIND HOWLS IN & THE RAIN POURS IN. HEARTH THEY LAID IS ALSO ALL OVER THE PLACE & NOT 2 BITS OF IT ARE LEVEL. I ALSO HAD TO WORK WHIST IT WAS GETTING INSTALLED & THE FITTERS HAD A FIELD DAY RAKING THROUGH THE ENTIRE HOUSE & STOLE WELL OVER £500 WORTH OF VEHICLE LIGHTS & TOOLS!

WENT BACK TO COUNTRY KILN & THE OWNERS COULDNT GIVE A STUFF STATING, 'WHIT YE WANT US TAE DAE ABOOT IT, AH CANNY SACK HIM'.

THE CLASSY (NOT!!) FEMALE OF THE BUSINESS SAT THERE IN UGG BOOTS, JOGGING BOTTOMS, VEST TOP, FAG HANGING OUT THE MOUTH BEING THE ROUGHEST, MOST ARROGANT GIT I HAVE EVER HAD THE DISPLEASURE TO DEAL WITH!

APPARENTLY THE FITTER HAS WORKED WITH THEM FOR OVER 4 YEARS YET THEY STATE THEY HAVE NO IDEA WHAT HIS BUSINESS IS CALLED, ADDRESS FOR HIM NOR ANY OTHER CONTACT INFO THAN A MOBILE NUMBER!

INLAND REVENUE & BUILDING CONTROL HAVE BEEN MADE AWARE & ARE INVESTIGATING. ENQUIRIES ARE ONGOING TO ESTABLISH A BUSINESS NAME & ADDRESS FOR THE FITTER IN ORDER THAT CRIMINAL PROCEEDING MAY BE PURSUED.

AS FOR THE FIRE ITSELF, CHEAP & NASTY! CONTROLS FOR AIR FLOW ARE POOR FIT, PINS IN DOOR HINGES ON FRONT KEEP WORKING LOOSE WHEN YOU OPEN / CLOSE DOOR & HAVE TO BE CONTINUALLY HAMMERED BACK IN TO PLACE & THERE IS ZERO HEAT FROM IT UNLESS YOU KEEP DOORS OPEN & PRACTICALLY SIT IN THE FIRE. GRANTED THIS ISNT HELPED BY THE WIND BLOWING A GALE WHERE THE FLUE GOES OUT ROOF BUT EVEN AT THAT THERE IS NO RADIANT HEAT!

THEY BOAST ON WEBSITE THEY HAVE ROYAL APPROVAL & THE ROYALS HAVE BOUGHT NUMEROUS STOVES, YEAH RIGHT! MORE LIKE THE ROYLE FAMILY & EVEN THEY WOULDNT BUT SUCH TAT!

AVOID!!!!.... COUNTRY KILN.... AVOID!!!!

Posting in all capitals via DIY Banter doesn't add any credibility to this
rather strange tale.

However this is unlikely to be a competitor for my rather shabby favours
because the other firms I deal with are both long established and reputable
(as far as I can tell).
So probably this is just some sad person local to the supplier with a
grudge.

Ah - now I understand the misunderstanding.
I think.

If you check back, I have been posting to this NG for many years (decades?)
and have shown no inclination to advertise or sell cast iron stoves from
somewhere in Scotland.

From my discussion and pictures of the construction of the Mother of All
Sheds it is also probably evident that I am not located in Scotland.

And yes I am (as recent posts) having the back of my house remodelled.

So quite how you conclude that I am a stove retailer in disguise is beyond
me.
More research required, perhaps?

The other firms I deal with for solid fuel stoves a
(1) A stove place up the A12 past Yoxford whose name I keep forgetting but
we bought a Tortoise style iron box on its side log burner ages ago for our
previous house.
(2) Fires Online, from whom we bought a Stovax Stockton 4 some years ago for
our property in Thatcham. This was (and still is) a very good stove but is
too small for the new room. I have discussed installing it in the MOALS in
the past in this NG.

We were going to order a larger Stovax Stockton but I came across another
online firm which was advertising amazingly cheap stoves.
Possibly too cheap, as nearly everything seemed to be either £250 or £299
regardless of size or shape.

Which was why I posted a question here as AFAIK there are quite a few
members of this NG with solid fuel appliances.

The cost of stoves has gone up a lot since I last bought one.
In December 2006 our Stockton 4 multifuel cost £410 including VAT and
delivery.
Prices are now around the £600 mark.
I presume this is due to the escalating price of iron and steel.

You would do better to get a room sealed stove.
ie, combustion air is drawn from outside directly into the stove not cold air drawn into the room as per traditional stoves.

Wonderful advice and only four years (plus a month) too late.

I bought a 7kW Country Kiln multi fuel stove about 7/8 years ago.
After about 3 years use, the fire backplate cracked. I repaired it with a thin steel sheet fixed behind the backplate with 3 small screws. Thinking the stove was on its way out I ordered another similar one as a spare, ready to fit if needed.
It is still in my garage because the original is still going strong.
This morning I noticed a small crack in the grate and phoned for a replacement. The man I spoke to was very helpful. He said if I was only burning wood then I could safely do away with the grate. If I am burning coal (which I am) then get a steel plate made locally and perforate it with ½€� holes. A cheap and practical answer €“ Thank you.
Replace the rope door seals whenever you notice a difference in the type of flame and the stove will serve you well.
Five stars Country Kiln.
