Wood burning stoves

Hi new to all this,

Im looking to replace my old Charnwood 6 stove with a new one. Im currently looking at both the Contura 51L and the Aga ludlow. Has anyone had experiance of these stoves????? The opening at the bottom of my chimney is quite small and there is only a few cm's gap around the Contura, even less at the back. Although there is nothing combustable at all. The opening below the chimney is lined in stainless steel. The chimney was built with a 6'' clay flue liner from new. I really don't need a multi fuel stove as i hardly use the multi grate in the charnwood. Can anyone offer advice???

Many thanks :)

  • Since no one has replied, consider the Scan Andersen 8-2. I have just bought one and it extracts enormous amounts of heat from even the poorest of wood!

    Scan are just as good, cheaper too :) Made by Jøtel apparently.

    Considered Clearview and Charnwood but saved about £400 with the Scan. Temp. in the lounge here at the moment, 80°F :j
