I remember a 'boatman's stove' of the type that had an oven and a quite small 'burner box'. It looked a lot like the 'Epping' stove. I was chopping some wood one day and a passing boater scoffed that I was cutting up such small pieces - but otherwise they wouldn't have fitted. That stove kept a 50ft boat toasty using just 'willow'. I always put it down to the high ratio of metal to actual fire size which stored and radiated heat. But maybe it was the 'wash' effect around the oven. Incidentally it was also good for baked potatoes.
My Irish relatives replaced all the solid fuel Agas as soon as they could afford a gas range. I once asked if they missed the trad version. They laughed their heads off.

Don't forget if you are doing house warming it's 6 maximum. Or is it 5.

A useful addition to some of the 'simple' stoves would be a draught stabiliser, similar to those fitted in vaporising oil stoves. One of those in the flue would negate the draw by winds across the flue so that it does not create excessive through the fuel. The airwash ports do a similar thing, except the port is always open.

Heaving down in the Maskless Mumbles this am.... they are all getting their last outing without masks.... In tescos just me and one other wearing them...I was checking out how steamed up glasses get and ended up shopping impressionistic style..I can see this becoming a challenge

Is that the same as a throttle or butterfly plate in the chimney, move the lever to shut down the draught? They should never close completely.
