go for a multi-fuel and make sure you take room sizes with you to get the right Kw output, too big uses excess fuel and too small might as well have an ornament. cast bodied hold heat better than stainless but takes longer to warm up, recommend cast though as longer lasting and better looking.

hope this helps.

Just make sure the one you buy is "plated" and conforms to regulations because if it isnt your house fire insurance will be void. A mate of mine learned the hard way.

They are. Go for the 'Clear view' brand. You pay for what you get and they are excellent, you won't be sorry.

I like to make voodoo dolls of Tate and Trundle and watch them slowly burn on mine. My faulty golf buggy version worked a feking treat.

They are great, I got 1 in my snug room. Since we had 1fitted were constantly in there it's turned into a real feature. :ayatollah:

We built a big brick surround around ours and it is an excellent feature and throws the heat out - 650 degrees. I've never burnt actual faeces on mine but why don't you ask Topstak if they stock a multi-fuel burner that looks good and also burns shit?

The Clearview "Richard The Third" model may be the way to go.

The Nagasaki 3000 is also a good choice.

If the French rustic look is more your thing, then the 'Joan Of Arc' is a fantastic little woodburner.
