I'd like to make the right purchase but have no experience of burning solid fuel at all. I want one to connect to proper dual layer flue. 5 inch I guess for the sort of stove size I want. It will go in a 39" wide builders opening. I'd want to burn wood predominantly, and have the option of the door being left open. I'm told you can also get ones that burn smokelessly, even when burning wood. This is only to heat a single room no boiler required, but excess heat may occasoinally be useful for the rest of the house (doors open) to save the gas since I get free wood. I think I'm after a modern spin on a traditional look, chrome fittings that sort of thing. Pitfalls, options and target price appreciated...
