I have a small woodburner in my living room. The house has gas-fired central heating, consequently the radiators in the living room are turned off or very low most of the time. Unfortunately the advice I received fo buy this particular stove wasn't good as it's too small for the room. However I wouldn't be with a woodburner again, it generates genuine warmth, is the centre of attention in the room, and has MUCH better programmes on than the telly!

As has been mentioned previously, you also get quite warm chopping the wood. I find that I allocate a couple of weekends a year to driving around with trailer and chainsaw in tow looking for 'free' fuel.

Woodburners are great fun and bring a house to life.
