We did have an esse cooker here in Blighty and want to instal one in our W. Loire coastal home. Any hints/tips?

They are now available with a cat converter but we still favour the flue. Only problem is , the wind!!! On the coast.

Any advice gratefully received! Our suppliers say they will deliver & presumably we get a gas engineer to fit.

Did you get any response from your post? We were told by a French retailer of Rayburns that there would be a problem with insurance if we brought an Esse / Rayburn in ( although we were talking 'used' ) . He advised us we had to buy here or the house insurance would be void in relation to any accidents arising from the stove? Best just to check this out in case it was true!!  We brought in a solid fuel Rayburn in the end.

We have bought a Rangemaster110 Elan Dual Fuel in, with the euro fitting, for significantly less from the UK. It is the same cooker that they sell in France. There will be no problems for us 'cos we chose the correct cooker - be wary of lpg models offered in the UK that have not got the EEC gas safety device fitted. Our wood burning rayburn has been noted by our insurance - again no problem.

I asked the Rayburn dealers in France for a quote, which even with the transport costs, was significantly more expensive than you can purchase in the UK.
