You probably roll yr eyes to the ceiling when a newbe comes on here asking "which is the best stove" but it's a valid question lol to a novice. We have been told a multi fuel burner is the best and I prefer the enamel coated ones personally (easier to wipe clean). We have a bout £500 to spend but I don't mind second hand (or is this a no no?) Are self cleaning ones all they are cracked up to be? I need a top flue so I can set it back into the chimney opening, otherwise I would have gone for a beautiful secondhand French one that are old but beautifully decorative...but probably pants in lots of other ways. Is there a minimum depth of cast iron that you can ask a manufacturer to avoid a Chinese import?

.... so far have found a Warnock Hersey, a 4.7kw CARRON, a Franco Belge 4.5kw, a6kw Henley Aran, a Jotul GF3. (all second hand)
OK hit me
 
You are likely asking all the wrong people, Warnock Hersey is a testing lab not a stove, the Jotul GF3 is a gas unit, the others appear to be small solid (non pellet or corn ) fuel units.
 
Tamboo, I see you're from overseas. The units you're asking about are wood burners.. You posted this thread in the pellet/corn stove forum.

Maybe a mod can move this to the proper forum.

The Henley site describes their stoves as "Wood burning and Multifuel". Does "multifuel" have another meaning in Europe?
