Which wood burner?

While we are waiting for the wood to come, so we can start with the frame, we keep doing research and do everything that can be done now.
So, one of the things that we are looking for is a wood burner. People keep telling us that an old burner is not a good business. Specially is it is a very old one. They can be very rusty and have a lot of leaks.
Again the question of what is the most sustainable choice comes. Is it better a new one, robust made with good materials and national or an used one?

We have been looking at several used ones, either in facebook pages/groups, websites with second hand materials like Olx, Custo Justo and Segunda Mão and when we went to Santarém, the person that was selling windows was selling second-hand wood burners as well.

We haven't made a decision yet and the right one didn't appear yet.

We looked at new ones in Cercol and we found a shop in Santa Comba Dão only by chance when we went to the veterinary with Sam. The prices vary between 100€ to 400€ and the quality of the cheapest ones is not good at all! They seem very fragile!

 This is the contact of the shop in Santa Comba Dão - very good prices and the owner is a very nice old man
 


I remembered that my favorite factory in Porto (CIF) does, what we call in Portugal,  Salamandras. Very good quality, but, again, not the right ones.

What wood burner will we have?
Another dip into the unknown!

With love,
Raquel
