Log/multifuel burner- Ecosy+?

hilaryfur

Hi. I'm looking to replace my lovely but inefficient open fire with a stove. Considering Ecosy+ either traditional panoramic or cast iron Rock multifuel. Would appreciate any feedback on Ecosy+. It seems good value for money, but are they good stoves?

We've had the snug 7 in for 2 burning seasons & it's far outperformed our expectations with burning wood, not so impressed with smokeless & will no longer burn it. Saved us quite a bit in the wood we use due to efficiency & a warmer house as well.

The direct air feed at a good price is what led us to ecozy+  & has meant a draft free draw when the fires roaring , the price was the icing on the cake , delivered for £580.

Is it the best quality, certainly not but a good value stove with good performance for the money, if i get 10yrs from it i'll be more than happy , i expect it may last longer though & we do burn every day during winter as it's our only form of heating.

When fitting a stove, it is well worth using the best liner you can afford - A 904/904 grade will probably outlast you, and isn't that more expensive than a 904/316 - The two numbers indicate the grade of stainless steel for the inner & outer parts respectively.

For exposed rigid sections, use 316 rather than vitreous enamel - It won't rust and start looking tatty after a few years in comparison to the enamel flues. If you don't want shiny steel, give it a spray of heat resistant paint every few years.
