Review of Charnwood c4 stove

Great small stove

Jamie Black 10 years ago

This is our first stove and it has been cracking. Gives out a great heat and very easy to control.

Will burn brilliantly with coal or wood, although the wood does have to be very dry or it's a real pain, like any stove.

Cleaning is a doddle with the ashpan. Door handle mechanism is lovely and you can always open without gloves. Glass gets cloudy, but as long as you keep the fuel back, it will go weeks without needing to be cleaned.

Would recommend highly.
