Thanks for your suggestions - have found a Woodwarm Fireview 20kw stove in Kent which I think we will go with unless I can hunt down anything in Limoges next week. Failing that I will definitely go the Wizard of Oz route.
Hi - can anyone advise me on where to buy a Large woodburning stove in France? I can find 20kw models in the UK but places like Castorama seem to stop around 13kw. Many thanks
