I thought that you were contractually obliged (by marriage!) to state that all woodburners are 100% perfect, with no failings whatsoever, and that everyone should buy one ;-)
Buenchico, actually I think they are all fur coat and no knickers. They are really expensive to install, the actual stove cost loads, they don't heat the whole house, they are a pain in the arse in general. However, they are nice to look at and sit in front of. Also, the people who himself has dealt with who are loaded have turned out to be a bunch of money grabbing so and so's (probably how they got to be so well off), always slowest to pay. Bastards!
