Does anyone have one?
I'm looking to get one installed.
Can anybody recommend me a good company?
Google is not helping me. My house is in North Wales.

Is this the same thing as the big stone ovens / heaters in German sitting rooms... a Chunst ?

Had one in a hotel I stayed in in Zell Am See.

Very nice. Gave out a gentle heat rather than hot heat, if you know what I mean, so not sure I'd want one over here. Probably more like an AGA compared to a log burning room heater.

No idea who does them over here though.

I just love their simplicity to use, no mess and stay warm all day with very little wood needed. They only need cleaning out once a winter.

You might be best shipping over an Austrian specialist. Also there's a LOT of brick in them so your building needs to be string, they also take up a lot of space.

Often built in the centre of the house and has bits sticking into 3 or more rooms...

Might be a tough retro fit
