Do you have any socks with stoves on them? Or pictures of fire-wood or anything? (sorry, couldn't resist). If you want to butcher the pronounciation less you could try google translate and listen to how Nordpeis Bergen is said in Norwegian, but butchering is an important part of life (and youtube comments)

Dear Gabriel. I watched almost all your videos concerning "tiny" stoves. I do search one for my tiny house (16 sq.m./33 cubicm). priorities were settled on small output, rear flue exit, external air input and possibly log store and availability in EU (preferably Czech rep.. My favourits are AGA Wenlock, Charnwood Aire 3 and maybe Mendip Ashcott. Built quality and control are more important than design to me. Which one of those would you recommend for occasional use in tiny house?
@TheTortoise
@TheTortoise 7 сағат бұрын
The Charnwood probably has the toughest build and is perhaps the most refined. The Aga however may have a touch more control. The Ashcott will suit your occasional use, but is not perfect for your rear flue or request for control, as it’s not built for control and is likely to have a bigger problem with smoke spillage on a rear flue. Hope that vaguely helps.

Woodwarm are built like an outhouse! Really well built. Had my little fireview 4.5kw for 12 years now. Moved onto a narrowboat in December with a faulty diesel stove and ordered a Woodwarm fireview 4.5kw with back boiler. Got the call 8 weeks later in February to say it's ready to collect. Drove over in my old Volvo 240 estate, 50 miles away to Worcestershire in the snow and freezing temperatures and was like a kid in a candy store with my new stove. My it weighed a lot. Removed all the doors, grate, bricks and used a trolley truck to bring it along the jetty. Fitted it the next day! I was finally warm for once and a joy to use. Still going strong and a pleasure to use to this day!

Most stoves are DEFRA approved, but if you’re not required to have it then removing it will increase your control, fuel economy and burn times. It can also cause incomplete combustion more smoke and issues, so it’s something that you play with if you need to. If you plan on using a stove in a very functional way, then this can be very useful, otherwise I wouldn’t bother.

@TheTortoise having a defra approved stove can produce more smoke and incomplete combustion? I thought the purpise of it was to add a little more air so that it burned better and less smouldering. ACR solis is what i want, wasnt aware the defra part can be added or removed at home.

Removing it and closing the stove down further can cause incomplete combustion… Removing the kit is possible on some stoves, but not all.

Hi Gabriel, speaking to Woodwarm they state that the grate does not need to be opened to burn most coal, and any that is stubborn to light, the grate only needs cracked a smidgin. There is enough gap to allow the air from below with the grate in the closed position.

@@biggeordie245 You’re correct , however you need some wood to get the coal burning and then keep refuelling with coal . In the depths of winter , I normally run all day on wood then get the fire nice and hot and put coal on for overnight . In the morning it’s still nice and warm and then put logs on . Eventually you have to clean the ash pan at some point letting the wood die down and then empty the pan . I’m using a clock Blithfield 5

The worry with this is to do with moisture content. This can work badly if you’re mixing both fuels with a high moisture content. If they are both dry (as in my case), then this isn’t an issue. To be fair the issue is not really improved if you burn damp wood one day and then damp smokeless the next, the same issues will still arise. It’s all about dry fuel, burn dry and 98% of issues disappear.

I would ordinarily leave it a year before having it swept, particularly with a modern stove. However depending on your fuel and use it is certainly possible to need a flue swept in a matter of weeks. A good check could be to remove the baffle plate from your stove, and (using a mirror and a torch) check your flue. It may also be possible to take a picture and send to your sweep if you want to be sure. Always glad to be of some help

got a question, lets say I load my fireplace at 11pm before going to bed so that I have overnight warmth. I guess at some stage at night, the fire is going to go down due to fuel and hence stove is running in less than optimal temperature. Wouldn't that cause the glass to dim?
@TheTortoise

Potentially. But if you use my overnight running technique, then you will have burned off the fuel already and only the burning charcoal will remain and at this point there won’t be anything left to dim the glass.

I have an Esse Bakeheart, we cook on it often in the winter time, at least every weekend. We had a 3 day power cut a couple of years back in December. It gave us hot food, hot drinks, kept the North side of the house tolerably warm, allowed us to boil enough water (flasks keeping water hot plus kettles and pans) for a quick rag wash in the shower (freezing in there). They are pricey and the Esse website is awful for finding spare parts. The Esse staff on the other hand have been nothing but helpful. Although it is not recognised as an overnight burner, I have found that there is still heat and embers in the morning making restarts easy. I’m glad I have it.

July 6th 2024 ....... I've just finished installing my Aire 3 in my off grid tiny house in regional Victoria Australia ........ absolutely works a treat. Very low amount of wood used for a full night of warmth where the temp outside dropped to -2C overnight. My tiny house is 10mtrs long x 2.4m wide x 3.2m high (inside) ..... heats in no time. It wasn't the cheapest wood heater by a long way but I wanted a heater purposely designed for TH's and I wanted high quality, not some cheap junky chinese rubbish
