    Hi Folks,

    I am looking at getting an inset stove into our small living room. There is already an open fire there with a back boiler but I want to get a good inset stove in. We have a two storey house with roughly 16 rads in the house but I have a zoned heating system in place where I can heat downstairs or upstairs.

    I am looking at Boru Chieftain, Boru 600i or the Kingstar Phoenix stove but I am unsure of which to use. There is a new Phoenix coming out in the new year with a riddle and thermostat ( improved version of the older model). Any recommendations would be great.

    I am considering buying a Firebird 16kW - Inset Stove backboiler stove which is costing €1000.

    Are these a good or bad stove?

    12.1kW to water (Heating System)
    3.6kW heat output to space (room)
    System Efficiency of 81%

    We have just installed a Charnwood slx multifuel stove. We have much the same set up as you and we are very happy with how it is heating the house

    Just wondering how many radiators are heating from your Charnwood stove? and where did you buy it? They seem awful expensive, so I'd like to price around :)

    Have a Boru Chieftan installed and its terrible, no heat to the rads and not hot water but a great hunger for coal (not wood). Stay away from Boru is my experience.

    Heard a lot of positive comments over the years about Charnwood

    If Boru has to come out I will go for a Charnwood I think.
