As some one who has too many years experience of wood fired appliances and cookers and having installed a few over the years, one installation which was a huge by normal terms, in that it had two villager style stoves with boilers, a kitchen range cooker with boiler, the system also retained the original gas boiler for summer time back up, add in sensors that controlled the system according to where fires were producing heat and also prioritised water heating to three separate hot water systems.
The property concerned is now no longer a home but a country club golf and sports centre hotel.
My own preference of affordable range cookers and why I like them;
Bosky 90 or 60 (Italian manufacture) now replaced by new models
The 90 has large fire box for long burn times between fills with a large plate boiler that surrounds the fire box, it has a lifting fire support that raises the fire for summertime running thus reducing boiler output, this is also useful if fire is small and you want to boil or fry with less heat or fuel use. The good sized oven has an electric element which means you still have an oven in the summer when not using the fire, if you add a two ring gas or electric hob in the kitchen (our case bottled gas) you have summer cooking with out loss of space. If you get a Bosky installed with a good balanced flue draw according to their specs, burn time and fuel consumption can be very economical.
Down side of Bosky is that while all the bits that need be are of cast iron the casings and heat ducts are of steel, if properly maintained this is OK but if you buying a second hand Bosky remove all cleaning ports and top plates, scrape out all soot and ash residue then inspect thoroughly with a very good torch around the lower areas of the ducts and casing. The 60 and 90 have lids over the hob plates with what is termed kettle port where you can close things up and still boil gently a kettle or leave a stew to simmer. We are doing a new self-build and our Bosky will be going in with the knowledge I can replace it on to existing plumbing later with their newer models with a pretty glass door to see fire which is a nice feature in kitchen.
Next on my list comes Rayburn 345 for wood and 355M where you may burn both coal and wood, at about 3500 to 3800 pounds sterling this is a really good buy less boiler output than Bosky but its got the Rayburn quality behind it. Again good sized fire box for long burning times between fills and a good sized oven, if you live somewhere it gets hot in summer you will need a complete cooker with oven as well as alternative.
The lower price cooker for about a 1000 quid, Franco Belge, Die Detrich, Deville, Authur Martin etc are good for smaller installations, but boiler output where available is some what to be desired as most tend to only have boiler at the back or side of fire box, but if you want cooking heating and hot water possibly with a small rad or two they great.
Take a look on leboncoin.fr when you open click any where on map then change search options to Cuisinière à bois charbon and change search area to Toute le France, because the French are much more used to these and the idea of wood because of the poor electrical distribution and charges for higher electrical supply, the site above is a free page advert for France but scroll down the pages you might see some brand names you had not considered before.
Must go logging now take care and keep warm!!!
