List of cheap quality wood burners
If low purchase price is your main concern there are a lot of
inexpensive burners to be found. Inexpensive usually means Chinese or
east European manufactured. Most Chinese stoves are of a more
traditional style and fabrication (cast iron) where as the east
Europeans tend to go more for steel fabrication and more modern
styling. Quality can be variable but the following are all inexpensive
stoves with all the relevant certifications that I would expect to be
trouble free.

Kings of the cheap
stove, quality has consistently improved over the last few
years, Chinese made, with the added advantage you can visit one
of their nationwide showrooms and usually walk away with you
choice.

Capital Sirius |
Really nice stoves
with a lifetime guarantee. I believe they are Chinese
manufactured but I'm not certain. DEFRA approved, I've
fitted a few and rate them highly.

FDC |
I'm fast becoming
convinced there is not much on the market that is better value
than FDC freestanding and inset stoves. Steel fabrication with
cast doors, they don't permit web based advertising of their
prices but they are not dissimilar to Firefox. DEFRA
approved, high efficiencies (i.e. over 80%).

Firefox |
Chinese manufactured
and British styled and designed, I've fitted more Firefoxs than
any other stove. Never seen a faulty one, the model 'T' of the
stove world. DEFRA option. |

Fireglow |
Chinese budget stove, good selection. DEFRA option.

Grey Metal |
I'm impressed by the
price of the Cube and the totally over the top engineering of
the Nero. Made in Bulgaria fabricated from German steel, I use a Nero
myself. If only they were DEFRA approved. Quality is not usually
this cheap. I retail

Saltfire |
Ticking just about every box Saltfire's ST1 and ST2 stoves are
fantastically good at everything they do (efficiencies over
80%) and at a price to take note.
