My in-built fire is proving to be rather useless.
I am wanting to get a new fire. I WAS initially very set on a pellet fire; and then when an insulation person came around he said they're only designed for old grannies.
Since then I've had others rave about them. So I am doing some more investigating before I make my decision.
For those that HAVE put them into older homes, how have you found them... pros & cons.
Would really value others honest opinions, particularly going by their own experience; especially those that have gone from a wood fire to a pellet fire.
And is Otago Pellet Fires the only place to get them from here in Dunedin?
Many thanks!
