Installing a woodburner in a holiday let...pros and cons

[PeridotCricket]

Are there downsides to putting a woodburner in a holiday let? I know when I'm looking for one to let it's a plus for me. But what about for the owner?

I'm not just thinking supplying fuel and getting it checked and maintained...but do people use them wrongly?

What type of cleaning out instructions have you left Yucca? I had kinda assumed the most anyone would do would be to empty the ash pan when the fire stopped drawing so well (so I have explained where the ash should go, and only the next day, i.e. when cold).

I just ask them to empty the ash pan too! I leave the instructions in the house manual, as well as my written instructions.

Apparently The National Trust only install Clearview stoves in their cottages.

That is such a good idea about leaving enough logs for Christmas/New Year, which is why I don't usually do this..

We don't have room to store logs without them getting wet, also can't put our prices up as we use an agent.

More or less that, just a reminder that it does need emptying, and if they're burning peat, make sure it's cooled down completely, as a sod of peat will burn all night if a new one's put on just before they go to bed. If they want to leave it on a slow burn with peat overnight, which is sometimes nice in winter, then they need to put wood on it and open the vents to give it a 15-minute hard burn first thing in the morning, this prevents any build-up in the flue liner.
