Jc it depends imho how often you will light the stove and if you are using nat gas or lpg bottled gas. At a minimum in a double sided gas on lpg running cost on max would be around E1.25 per hour and maybe half that on nat gas but expect both to rise over the years. IF its only going to be on on...

Hi lads the boards mel is taslking about are vermiculite boards known better as a brand name of skamolex (like hoover is to vacum cleaners) they use this material inside some stoves. the only downside to it is the edges need some sort of frame around it as they are a bit rough. It can take any...

Hi Gianni a glass fronted gas fire runs at about 78% while an open gas fire runs at about 50-55% at beast with a ceramic back so there is a good saving. Gazco e box is a good one and has a choice of frames like a modern one the dimension to a traditional one like the richmond. The retail at...

dmos plus one on all of the above but with one caveat don't ask for peoples allergies just give a list of ingredients and let the people with the allergies decide if they can eat the cake or not. By asking for their allergies before hand its putting the onus on you to make sure its alright for...

yes but check out the regulations for it basicly use twin wall/insulated flue as soon as you hit the ceiling/wall or go outside and leave airspaces where required. The termination point of the flue in relation to the roof of the house and any extension is crucial in avoiding downdraught.

reagrdless Elaine you should have been advised on how to run the stove. small fires to begin with and a strong burn off. we usually light a few papers ourselves after installation to check draw and that controls etc are working properly. Anyone that gives an answer like the one you got should be...

An undersized stove will always be a probelm and one that gets worse. Imagine the water coming back always cold to the stove this in effect also cools the flame of the fire and the fire burns less efficiently a lot of the time creating sooring and crosete on the boiler surface itself. This in...

TT what make and model is the stove? Ask a plumber to calculate the heat load of all the rads together and see if this is matched, nearly matched or exceeded by the stoves output. From what you have posted if the stove had an 1" flow and return and the plumber/builder used 1/4" its defo going...

Hi designA, 1. No the back can be broken out and all fill removed have plenty of buckets and wear a dust mask. The brick behind can be plastered, tiled or covered with a vermiculite type board one type is called skamolex and has some brick or reeded designs. 2. Yes a freestanding stove needs to...

moh get some stuff from the us as well and haven't found a good way to hedge the currency yet sometimes I'm up and sometimes I'm down. Whats a bigger constraint on cashflow imho is the clearing of goods when they arrive ie you pay vat at entry on top of any duty due etc. it all adds up. find the...

sligo you need to make sure that the chimney insert and hearth of the fireplace are suitable for solid fuel.Insert solid fuel stove would be my advice as a replacement. Before you do that is there filling behind what should be a ceramic fireback with a ribbed finish on it.

have to say I completely disagree with some of the above. Folly hope the idea is groundbreaking but just because it is doesn't mean it will sell. The patent owner for sliced bread never made money on it and until the patent ran out and Wonder took it over they marketed it correctly and made...

mercman its usually up three times down once or twice and only when the crude or brent oil barrell drops significantly.

falasarana, the gas the regulator refers to is natural gas. calor and most of flogas is usually propane or lpg which is part of the oil process as was stated above, so regardless of what the regulator says if oil rises so will your lpg gas whether metered or by the tank. most calor metred...

no messing here it could literally be life or death so +1 to the serviceman.

ssm get back on to who supplied it. it may polish out to hardly being noticable and depending on the marfil could be sanded down and thenm polished back up through 7 stages of polishing. some people have used t cut (abrasive type car polish) on small scratchs and it has done the job.

Similar situation as is anyone in retail I think thats opened in the last few years and has not their mortgage paid off etc. Did a big rationalisation last year half the staff and worked flat out for the two weeks before christmas with literally nothing but a few more debts paid off to show for...

Mulberry stoker or insert stoves that use a fireback don't need a flue connection as they can be easily removed for proper cleaning. Other similar models include esse 300 and 301 and Tr4. Fergal for the glass get a damp cloth and dip in the wood ash from your stove should make the galss easier...
