£460 on the Arrrow website so that's saving of over £90 - not bad (also includes a flue pipe).
I've been looking at woodburners recently but SWMBO likes the Stovax Stockton 5 and who am I to argue?
Arrow are a good UK based manufacturer and far superior to the cheap chinese crap, so if they have it in stock I'd go for it.

2 quid cheaper, but no flue kit. But offer a price match so may be able to do a deal.

looks like i've found a good price then...

does anyone know what air gab you need around the outside of the stove ?

page 8 gives the dimensions. However, if you are doing it yourself and the authorities will never know

Build your own I've just built a woodburner with an oven. All the parts for it (glass, hinges, oven racks, metal, firebricks etc) was under £200

My folks have one of these and it gets fecking hot! The stove must be too big for the house as it gets every radiator tingling hot!http://www.dowlingstoves.com/the_sumo.htm
