We are still thinking about changing from an open fire in the lounge
- 5 years ago we went to look at multi-fuel burners and again 2 years ago; we went back to the Company last week. It will mean taking out a brick fire surround which went in about 20 years ago, removing the fire bricks and hoping that there is a burner that will fit the space. We don't need a 'liner' down the chimney, they are rarely required but are 'pushed' by the sellers 'cos they cost upwards of £400.00.
Then we will need move all the books (100+) from the lounge, plus other bits and stuff B4 finding a paint brush ……..
The open fire is 8% efficient, the burners 80%+ so it's a no brainer really. Hopefully the surrounds will be made in England, one design is lime stone sourced from Portugal
