"Have started looking into this for fitting later this year, and a couple of names seem to keep comeing up in reviews, Clearview and Morso, anyone have any experience of these two? What do people recommend?"
We had a Morso 04 fitted in the autumn. One of our friends got a non branded £400 stove fitted about the same time. The Morso is much easier to light, and you can control the burn level easier, it also appears to burn a lot cleaner ie much less ash left in the pan.... oh and the Morso looks much nicer too. However our doesnt appear to kick out much heat until its been running for at least 1 hr, where as the cheaper one kicks out the heat straight away.
We find a mixture of coal and wood creates the hottest/longest burn. We live in Baildon/Bradford and have been looking a wood to buy and its £4 a rubble bag, or £50 for one of those large sack things that are delivered by builders merchants etc. So far however we have used pallets left over from building work, and coal 1 20kg coal bag from a garage which cost £9.50
We have found in the extreme cold weather that the stove alone wouldnt keep the house warm (but it is max 5kw), however what we have tended to do is leave the room thermostat in the lounge so that as the fire heats up it turns the heating off. Then just about enough heat gets upstairs etc. I can see that spring/autumnn will be the best time for the stove.
Don't buy from http://www.stovesareus.co.uk/ we did, and had nothing but trouble.
i have my heating set up with it as well as gas central heating (its complicated pipe work) and its really saved some money of the last few years as i get wood for free from work from tree's to spare lumber the only hard part is getting the chainsaw out to cut it all up can take a little while if there's a lot of wood. 
2 seconds with the vac sorted that, had just emptied the ashpan
