Wood Burning Stove Heat Question
Comments

Melanie - Ours is exactly the same. Thick iron sides and takes a long time to kick out any real heat.
I don't have a radiator in that room at the moment so it gets pretty cold, and it takes at least an hour for the woodburner to start making a difference.
I have an old house, no insulation, leaky single glazed windows and high ceilings. For those that get heat quickly I expect the house is more modern and doesn't need to absorb all the latent heat before you start to feel it.0 -

Yep, our house has little insulation and leaky (albeit) double glazed windows which doesn't help.
Glad it's not just me!0
