Reply To: Are 2nd hand wood burners a good option?

[Sarah Firth]

I think these two links will be very helpful in answering these questions (we get them a lot here at Council). Don’t forget it will need a building consent and code compliance certificate!

The following is an extract from the FAQ link:

Can I install a second hand burner?
You can still install a second hand wood burner as long as it meets the standards or if you live on a property of 2Ha or greater.
It should be noted that older second-hand burners are less likely to meet the standards.

This is a link of mfe approved burners with a good description at the top of the page:
