I bought a cast iron stove (Glenbarrow) by Hamco, to replace my open fire in the sitting room but no matter what fuel, ie coal, eco logs etc I put on, the heat was better from the open fire. The stove is very hot to touch and when I open the door I get great heat. I can feel that the air is hot to about a foot from the stove but I was expecting to be blown away with heat and I'm not. My chimney sweep says that there is defenetly something wrong but he doesnt know what and when I got the person who installed the fire to take a look at it he said that I have 3 outside walls with large windows and no proper insulation and that is the reason (the fire is 6.5kw). If thats the answer I will accept it, but I still feel that the fire is not throwing out enough heat based on the amount of fuel I am using. Any suggestions>
