San Remo or Carraig Mor?

[jp99]

Hey all, hope this is right place to post. I'm looking for a stove 30kw with back boiler. Has anyone any good opinions on either San Remo (19.5 to boiler, 10.5 to room) or Carraig Mor (25 to boiler, 5 to room) as options ? Prices are very close.

Heating setup I am going with is stove linked to 500l buffer tank (also solar tubes linked to buffer tank) which would run underfloor on both floors backed up by oil.

I guess another question I have is which stove output is more suited to my heating system (19.5/10.5kw or 25/5kw). Is Carrig Mor
giving too much heat to my boiler (as thermal store is already backed up solar tubes & oil) ? Thank you.

no takers noticed this thread doesn't get too much feedback..on my own on this one, time has come to purchase and play a lucky dip.

I ve split off your question.

You would be better off starting a new thread for your question rather than tagging it to an existing thread.

Have you tried boards.ie they have some excellent threads on the topic.

How big is your room? Because 10.5 to it is a lot. I have a non-boiler stove giving 8kw to about a 17x13 room and it's too much. If I had it back I'd have went for a 5/6kw

Room is actually smaller than yours (15x13) but have a open plan room leading off it (entrance with no door) so I would expect a lot of heat to escape out here. Not a bad thing either
