If it's on a north facing wall you may need a spinning cowl that prevents downdraught. Will it be fitted into an existing fireplace? If so, the chimney will need lining.

Our woodburner is very warm indeed. Make sure you get enough Kws for the size of your room. If you look on a website that sells them there is plenty of advice and information.

If the stove has a 'cleanburn' system the glass will be easy to clean.

Go for it, Megram. They're lovely.

Thinking of getting one, but am worried that they are not as convenient or as warm as our current, although very elderly "living flame" gas fire. It would be in a North facing room which gets quite cold in winter.
Do they take a lot of cleaning?
I would appreciate any advice!
