Hi
We are looking at installing a multi fuel stove but could do with a bit advice on which to buy. The room is a knocked through kitchen and dinning room with a open plan conservatory, so i think i am right to think we will need a minimum of 7kw ? Don't want a cheap import but i am not familiar with the top brands (uk?). I want a multi fuel to enable us to supplement wood with coal etc. I also have a massive supply of clean paper so was going to look at making the briquettes, now i no these don't give off great heat etc but the kids will enjoy helping me to make them and they are free !!, my only worry is does burning paper (as a briquette) lead to any obvious problems (build up forming in flue)? i was intending to get the chimney swept twice a year but the other half is paranoid about chimney fires.
Thanks in advance

Personally I prefer stoves from the Morso range.....there are many other good ones, but you do get what you pay for.
Any stove over 5kW requires external ventilation to the room.
Paper briquettes are probably ok, but paper does contain a flame retardant so I cant really comment there.
Consider an ecofan to compliment the installation!

Thanks for that.
I knew about the external vent, have all burners got somewhere you can attach a air supply to so this can then go directly outside (instead of a floor vent) to prevent there being a cold vent blowing into my room ? I have 2ft recess under floor boards so piping it under the floor and straight out wouldnt be a problem. Also is the ecofan just to help disperse the hot air around the room more easily ?
 
Time to do a bit of googling regarding the stove vent, I think......certainly if you can connect to outside it would save loads of draughts when you don't need it! Not all stoves have this function.
The Ecofan has a thermovoltaic cell which drives the fan itself......they are almost silent and highly recommended.
