Review of Burley Wakerley stove

So good we bought another burley

After struggling for years with an old Charnwood stove in my wife's art studio we decide to go for this stove with the reviews on here as they were so positive. Her art studio would take at least half the day to heat up but it would burn the wood to, you'd be feeding it 4 logs per hour at least. The Wakerley on start up , the way I start it is with plenty of paper and kindling, the stove glass after the start up has condensation but after 15 minutes its gone, once the kindling has burned right down to charcoal, I will put about another 4 to 5 logs in and that will last about 3 to 4 hours, the fire is usually going properly with in an hour and a half (at this point the damper is down to half). I can't fault this stove but its early days yet.
