I Can only agree Colin we bought a Hunter Herald stove (Cast Iron) with back boiler from the UK, but not everyone has the option of transporting one here!!

Stoves with back boilers are rare here but I don't know why as linear is free if you have lots of trees and you can run central heating/underfloor heating and get your hot water for free!!

To us it was worth the price £800 and the cost of shipping, brought by tranny van, and the winters are longer than we thought!! :( :(
