    Hi

    Looking to get one for a kitchen/living room of 10 * 16 feet.
    No need for a back boiler.
    Will only be in house for 18 months.
    Old cottage with 1 inch platinum insulation inside mass concrete walls, about 8 inches of something in rafters and minimal floor insulation.

    Would this be adequate enough for that size room:
    The Junior Cottage

    Thanks

    Broken link. Maybe give the name of the stove and people can search the site?

    Stanley have a stove chooser on their site -

    http://www.waterfordstanley.com/stanley-stoves/stove-chooser/

    which will give you a rough idea. Their popular Oisin stove is dearer (€600) but much loved, and put together in Ireland from Chinese-made parts, I think. You'll often find stoves cheaper in the Co-Op - here's the Oisin €100 cheaper https://www.coopsuperstores.ie/Fuel--Heating/Solid-Fuel-Stoves/Stanley-Stoves/Stanley-Oisin-Solid-Fuel-Stove-6kw-0599055

    Thanks Mark.

    That's a very useful link. It's giving me a 3.3kW heat output requirement based on:
    -Room Heater
    -10x16x8 (WxDxH).
    -Low insulation

    Hold off a little while, though. I'm a stove user. There are people who post here who are professionals.
    Is there any way of adding a little insulation, for instance at the ceiling? And recently when we had a couple of years with no central heating, curtains on our huge windows - curtains lined with blackout-level insulating curtain lining - made quite a difference on cold winter nights.

    Incidentally, make sure you instal this properly. I had a handyman friend instal a stove in an artisan cottage where I used to live. It gave off fumes. The stove here was installed by professionals who put in a steel flexible flue and insulated it with vermiculite, and fume-proofed the chimney completely. Not a fume to be smelt, and the carbon monoxide alarm is silent.

    You don't want to become a carbon monoxide death statistic.

    Yeah we are currently putting 1 inch insulated plasterboard on all external facing walls.
    Am also going to put 6 inch earthwool or similar insulation between rafters.

    House already has a steel flue with chimney backfilled with sand. We are getting rid of existing oil burning stove, don't want hassle of dealing with oil and the tank has a hole in it anyway.
    Will make sure it's installed correctly and definitely getting a carbon monoxide alarm.
