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
