woodburning stoves

[Pepsimax]

We would like to buy and have installed a villager wodburning stove in our house in the Ariege. Does anyone know the best way to go about this?

Best thing is to search on the forum as this has been discussed before. These might help:

How large is your house?  How large do you envisage the woodburner being?  Dependant on the m2 to be heated you ought to get someone who knows what they're doing so that the chimney goes through the 'necessary' space in the house.

I know of some houses that are almost entirely heated by a woodburner, it just depends how you go about it!

We just went to the local quincaillerie which stocks a range of stoves (often a rather cacky brown) and he supplied and fitted it, free. Alternatively you can pick them up in the brico sheds, and either fit them or get a local tradesman. Either way they are a good idea.

I can give you details privately of an Irish/French company in Alsace who specialise in making and fitting woodburners.They have a range of double skinned ones and ones that can run a hot water system etc. They can be delivered to your door and fitted by one of their agents inthe building trade if you are interested. They also have a website you can visit as well.
