Take a look folks and compare with high street prices.

We have an Esse woodburning cooker that cooks our food, heats our water and runs a radiator. Very little dust or mess - only needs cleaning/de-ashing every 2 or 3 months.
Woodburners are well worth considering but you have to be willing to spend time getting wood, cutting, splitting and storing it. You can buy wood ready split and seasoned but it is expensive. You really need space to have a year's supply under cover

theyre great. ours does the hot water and radiators for all the house (3 bed). cosy in winter too.

we have just got a Villager Berkeley multifuel stove from stovesdirect.com and it has a built in boiler so is heating our radiators and hot water.

we opted for a multifuel so we can use wood and coal and it will keep in all night (once you get used to controlling it)
our house is toasty warm and the oil boiler and tank are redundant!

we bought enough wood and coal from T Hunter in Thurso to see us through winter and the cost of that wouldn't have paid for 500litres of oil so much cheaper
can also get scavangers permits from forestry for local forests and get the wood cheaper still

hope this helps!
