    UFH and wood burning stove

    Hi, I'm doing the same thing as I have installed the wet underfloor heating and like Nick suggested have put a 5kw stove. The stove in my opinion is more of a feature than to heat the room up. For me you got to almost sit on the stove to get hot. The underfloor heating is there to heat the room.
