Wood Burners
10 Answers
Please can someone tell me from experience if wood burners do keep the whole house warm? I have been told this but can't believe that a fire in the lounge will also mean warm bedrooms upstairs. If you have to keep radiators on upstairs, it must be better to heat downstairs by the same method? Please can someone enlighten me. We are about to make a decision on installing one to cut down costs.

My advice would be to get a multi fuel burner one rather than one that just burns wood - you can burn just wood if you want to but you've always got the option there with a multi fuel burner. Yes, mine was marvellous, we had to open the sitting room doors to let the heat out into the rest of the house because it got so hot. As we had no mains gas and had to use bottled gas for the ch, which is expensive, it saved us a lot of money.
If you have thermostatic valves on the rads then you wont waste any heat from the wet system.Can you get plenty of wood for free? if not it will cost as much as gas by the time you have it delivered,chop it and store it.Do you have plenty of dry storage space...they can consume large quantities..ours can devour 20 tons over a bad winter however it is a 16 kw..but we would'nt be without it.
