Thinking of another install of a new wood burning stove. Spoke to Ivan about these last winter and these are now listed on the Navitron site. They look ACE but has anyone tried one?
I have another WBS in the nave and a GSHP so a small 5kW one will be better than an open fire which I am currently using in the chancel.

We went to look at one today at The Gloucestershire Stove Centre in Tewkesbury and we were astounded at how good it looks...the flame pattern was mesmerising and the design is very nice indeed.

Hi,I just installed the 12kw one in my house last week. The heat from it is phenomenal, the dog gets up and scurries away when he hears the door opening. The air control is easy to adjust and gives an immediate response. Make sure you get the room sealing kit with it as well as that will avoid the house air being taken in to the stove. The air vent pipes scrub the heat out of the flue and push a lot of heat into the room. The stove gets so hot that the wood gas burns and by tweaking the air down you will get flames dancing around inside, igniting in midair, bit like "will o' the wisp" stuff.
The way the air is drawn into the stove is very clever, the air holes are all positioned so that the air swirls around anti clockwise, and they are all around the inside. There are holes up the internal corners, along the front, the back, and pointing down the glass.

In the Southern Hemisphere version the vortex is clockwise and is helped by the angle of the inlet pipes. The Equatorial version has straight pipes so that the vortex can circulate whichever way it feels most appropriate. Billy  |

Allan,
On behalf of Steve Barson, MD at Burley; Many Thanks for your kind words and would you mind if they quoted you anonymously for their literature?

Looked in to installing a Burley T3 earlier in the year. As I was new to WBS at the time I installed by the "book". I enquired with the company if the stoves were approved for smoke controlled areas. My details were taken and I waited for a call back. Never had a reply so installed another make. So the stoves may be good but the company needs to up its game when a prospective customer calls with a query. No good having great products with poor customer service   John. |

I assume the problem is that they may be waiting for the certificate to be issues. Often these things drag on for longer than they should.
Incidentally, I've purchased one for my own house. I've got a couple of projects to finish (veg-oil powered turk-burner conversion for rayburn being the most pressing), then I'll be installing the Burley stove. Will post some pictures when I've done it.

I am informed by Burley that they are indeed awaiting these certificates by DEFRA.
They have not forgotten you.

Hello John.
Sorry for the delay. The T3 stoves have flown through the tests for DEFRA approval and without any reduction in efficiency, which is virtually unheard of. DEFRA now have to issue the certificate, which will probably take a month or two, but they are approved.
Best regards,
Steve

Good to see someone installing one at last. I am interested to see how well it burns with a small amount of wood and lower output. The maximum output of 5 kW would be too much for the room except for a short period.

I came across this on an Irish website. It is made by Hestia in Poland and it has a nice feature that you can vary the proportion of flue gases that are exposed to the boiler. I was considering this in conjunction with the T3 and to slightly reduce the flow of air through the heat exchanger at the top to push more heat into the flue. The T3 has very high flue temperature but presumably very small airflow so it wouldn't take a lot to upset the flow, however having the ability to redirect the flow should be a big help. Any ideas?
(Edit - image wouldn't link so uploaded instead)
