- Other Heating: electric, wood, oil
Since I don’t know much about some of the older, and even newer, better imported anthracite or multi-fuel stoves, I was wondering if some of you could assist me?
Some of the heavier built...better designed...easily shaken with quality shaking systems would be a great start.
You could even discuss what not to buy and why.
Either way, just be specific with stove brand names, a description, and even your opinion.
Hopefully some of our forum members from across the pond can contribute their knowledge and expertise.
Thanks in advance.

Jotul 507 models. Just in a quick minute of thinking would be the top import on my list except maybe a couple antiques Ive seen here that are beautiful. A little info in the link, but it has been discussed several times here. https://www.woodmanspartsplus.com/68/details/8634 ... /8768.html

Buderus-Juno ran one for 25 years. The importer was in Pearl River NY, in the early 80's. Solid totally cast iron stove. Grate was a shaker and loaded up with ash along the sides, but was something I learned to deal with. Back then no coal forum just me and my stove

Godin, Jotul, Franco Belge, Haas & Sohn, Efel, Coalbrookdale, Buderus, Weso, and no doubt others.
These stoves had in their design history the need to burn the coal available to them in their country of origin and to adapt those designs to American coal. Some did it better than others but all, in my experience could do it well providing the user also adapt to the needs of the particular stove and chimney system.

Hi , Lost the post I was sending so hopefully this will get thru . Just to say from personal experience I have 3 stoves that I restored ( 2uk / 1French ). The smaller stoves heat the lounge and spare bedroom, but the coalbrookdale Severn heats most of the rest of the house . It holds 50lbs in its firepot , depending on how hot you run your stove you will get 24hrs out of it before refuelling, and emptying the ashpan . It’s solid cast iron , weights around 500lbs , built like a tank , large windows to view the fire , and spares are still available. I’m really pleased with mine , can’t say enough good things about it . The Severn and Darby were made in the uk , but there target market was the USA . As the original Severn brochure states - able to heat a medium sized American home ( whatever that is !!) . Anyway if you are looking for one make sure it’s NOT the boiler model . The boiler model cannot be used as a stand alone stove for heating only . Make sure you don’t buy the boiler model . Anyway I will send a few pics of my other stoves and the coalbrookdale (with the brass fender). Hope My input helps . Happy Christmas .
