Review of Charnwood Country 16 b stove
Really fantastic stove
I needed to replace a Wamsler K97 solid fuel cooker and my preferred option was a stove. I didn't need the cooking ability of the Wamsler. After spending months looking at brochures and visiting stove stockists and doing calculations I finally decided on the Charnwood Country 16B multifuel model. I also saw it in a distant friends home. I have been using it now for a few months and it's a brilliant piece of engineering. That's not exaggerating. It quite easily heats the 29 x 13 x 8.5 feet room and about 10 rads. To keep the rads warm you have to feed it and this can leave the room its in a little warm so we just leave the kitchem door open for a while and that little issue is solved. I only use smokeless fuel as I don't have access to wood. The double glass doors can be a little difficult to keep clean but a piece of damp newspaper does the job. As I'm new to stoves maybe this is me and not the stove. The two side by side ashboxes were a surprise but not a problem. The controls are very good and the size of the brilliant grate ensures overnight burning is never a problem. Overall a brilliant purchase and a very happy owner.
