Moved into an 1870s poor house recently. It has a 1980s Dunsley Condor open fireplace with a back boiler. For various reasons, I can't/won't be using it. I'm having it removed and want a multifuel stove in its place.
The room the stove will be in is 8m x 4m x 2.25m. That would indicate a stove size of 7kW. Needs external air intake. The stove would be in the same room as an Oil fired Rayburn (might or might not be on at the same time) and a single. I went to have a chat with a local stove shop - they recommended getting a 5kW stove only, to avoid the need for external air.
What things would you be considering re a stove installation (I should add - I'm in Scotland where HETAS is not a requirement).
Any help/advice would be grand!
