    I like the idea. Anyone know of the cooler flue gasses are causing any extra deposits in the flue?

    I suppoose it depends on what you're burning? I burn bone-dry wood logs like Megatherm and Prima Fuels Rocket Blaze and, even when burnt with house coal, very little furring. But when burning very low moisture wood? No deposits at all.

    I find that with coal, unless you are careful not to overload the basket, the fan will deliver smuts all over the room. With wood, zero problems.

    Bone-dry wood and coal is the perfect mix for this.

    What I don't like about it is that it's mains powered, it's a pity the fan setup to radiate the heat could not have been setup to operate from the heat generated from the fire?

    Possible of course. But it would cost eleventy million euro. You could, of course, tinker with electronics yourself and make it work but that would be against regs or something.
    Always something eh?!
