Contemporary wood burner recommendations?

brooky_agn

Hi All,

In our old victorian house we have two Clearview wood burners and they were AMAZING!! We have since moved to a modern house and want a contemporary woodburner.

The problem is we were so spoiled by the Clearviews we are terrified to spend a lot of money on one that just not as good.

Can anyone please recommend a good contemporary wood burner that keeps the glass clear?

Our local store recommended a Di Lusso Euro R4 and another store a Danis RAIS Rina. I'd like to keep it British if possible.

We have a clear view and are in the same situation but after looking at a few we decided to keep it when we remodel, just move it and upgrade fittings from brass to silver. It's so good and reliable and the Clearview stockists is in our town. I'd definitely think about keeping it! If not sell it as you'll get a fair bit of money for it flogging it second hand.

Edit, just read you'd moved house - sorry misunderstood.

No doubt your respective neighbours are pleased with your wood-burner fetish:

We don't have an option, no mains gas we are the other side of a canal bridge, though when we upgrade to a heat pump it won't be used as much I'm sure. I'm also sure with the barges going past our window frequently and the wood burners they use as well as the small canal cottage opposite who is only on solid fuel they probably aren't bothered.....

Hardly fair to describe someone's desire to heat their home as a 'fetish'. Even worse to rely on hysterical press, whipped-up by the same ecoloons who were urging people to buy wood burners just a few years ago.

Thanks for hijacking my thread hippie. :rotfl:

Burning sustainable wood is extremely efficient and clean.

We are just feeding a troll. Ignore.

I sympathise with wanting to keep the Clearview. The chrome handles will look smart.

We've got a Clearview Pioneer Oven in an otherwise contemporary room - we wanted one we could cook in so were limited in the choice - it's been sprayed blue to fit the room decor and looks fine.

Wow blue! Thats cool. :T

Did you want free standing or inset ?

I have an Aarrow i500 which keeps my lounge nice and toasty. If I were to fit another, I think I'd go for the Stovax Riva 55 with the optional ducting kit to get some warm air upstairs.

Would I recommend the i500 - Probably not unless you can get one at a greatly reduced price. At around £1200 plus installation, it is darned expensive, but then so are most contemporary stoves.

Yes freestanding. Inset would be lovely but right now we have no fireplace at all.
