Tahir, If I'm not mistaken, Uncle Silas is the same as Silas who's got the latest post on the AECB website. Silas, Are you a member of the AECB? Peter.

Silas, With regard to the gourmet, a few questions: Do you get a Clearskies grant? How is it with children? How does it compare with an Aga or Rayburn? Peter.

Tahir,

I sent my application for AECB this week, waiting for a reply.

Peter,

There are no grants for any cookstove in the clear sky list, if you want a clear sky approved boiler give me a shout I am a registered installer.

I am not sure what you mean, "how is it with children".... a small one would fit nicely inside!

A 15kw version costs about �2700, I think new Aga's start at about �5000

Sounds reasonable. I take it that doesn't include fitting and flues and the like? Re: the children remark, it was just the pictures of what I take can be quite a hot metal box standing in the kitchen, and then thinking about little prying hands Peter.

The stoves are made in Australia, by the man who used to be Aga's Asia pacific sales director, they now have 70% of the market down there. They can get hot and a fire guard would be recomended if toddlers are around, and the price is without fitting, flues etc. Regards
