    Or perhaps someone feels happy with their buy & wants to spread the word.

    Is it fair to accuse someone of advertising, on a first & only post? I think not.

    I suspect Twiglet may have had a point. Read his post again and look at the name of the shop he bought his stove from!

    Eakers... are you advertising?

    Did you hit the spam button??
  • It's definitely the cowl. It isn't wise to use the stove until the cowl is removed as carbon monoxide given off by a multi fuel stove is hundreds of times higher than a gas fire. Get it sorted asap......only a 10 min job for a pro. £100ish to supply and fit a proper multi fuel cowl.............better than a trip in a coffin.

    Why the poster has a username and profile to web site they are spamming. They may as well have a piece of paper on the forehead saying I am a spammer, need I say more

    Eakers has spammed before I seem to recall reporting them and had the posts removed. Looks like they have had it done again. They should be banned
  • Thanks to later posters who agreed an inappropriate post had been displayed. I would not have the confidence to hit the spam button and apologise if my reply was out of line.

    Oh wow, this thread has made fascinating reading!

    I've a victorian terraced 3 bed house with very high ceilings, just screaming out for a stove, but before I get myself too excited I have a major problem to overcome and wondered if anyone else has had to deal with this?

    My chimney is blocked, I think with concrete. Has anyone had their chimney re-opened and a stove installed? I'm wondering roughly how much I'd need to budget for this and how much building work it involves? I realise each house is different but if it is always a very expensive job I'll have to bite the bullet, stop dreaming now and explore other options. I have central heating but it needs a lot of work doing to make it efficient - the need for complete replacement hasn't been ruled out yet.

    This is a project I'm thinking about for next winter, so if it is do-able I'm thinking of having the work done next summer.
    My first reply was witty and intellectual but I lost it so you got this one instead :D
