Pellet Fire v Woodburner
Okay. I have recently moved into my own home; a refurbished 1950's brick with double glazing. Insulation in both ceiling and floor.
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!

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.
When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
