My Log Burner...

Spit · 24 Dec 2011 at 10:55

Just finished having it installed. Been using it for the last few days and it really kicks out some heat. It is a small 4KW burner. Wanted a contemporary look for the new build we live in and been really pleased with it so far. Was just a bare wall to start with and we had an electric fire on there for the last couple of years. Already had a class one chimney.

Some photos, role on the snowy weather:

Perfect for this time of year. So warm and cozy!

I sometimes miss our coal fire in our old house. There was something about snuggling up and staring at a burning fireplace that made you feel all content and peaceful.

Looks good mate - I prefer wood burners over electric fires! Much more homely and they give off heat like there's no tomorrow.

(Cue the 'it's a fire' responses.. lol)

The wooden mantlepiece is far too light - it stands out like a sore thumb.

Waste of time. Far easier to just go around in a van and pick up left over wood and let it season out the back under shelter.

Got a log burner at home, lovely and warm. Parents overuse it though. My dad likes fire a bit too much. Far better than that timer electric heater at university though.

I know, its a solid piece of oak. Going to do something with it.

Cheers for the positive responses

How much was all that including fitting?

Bit modern for my tastes to be honest but you can't beat a woodburner, my local has one and my god it chucks out some heat.

Open fireplace is better :cool:

I have always really liked log burners - looks great

A real fire, nice...

Now go & buy yourself a toasting fork, nothing better than toast, crumpets done on a open fire

.

I miss my open fire which I had in last house.

If I was you I would get a mat for just in front of the fire or your get burns marks on your carpet.

Not a chance, my parents just replaced their open fire with a log burner, the log burner is a vast improvement, especially in regards to warming the house rather than losing all the heat up the chimney.

Using the Rothenberger to light the fire. 30 seconds with this bad boy and were off

Ours heats the hot water+radiators

Doesn't take long to get the whole house unbearably hot when i'm in control
