Purchased this stove,and fitted 1 month later,good heat output,but it blows smoke into the living room every time you open the doors to reload it with wood.\nContacted country kiln,only to have an abrupt email back stating its merely a box,and they have a fire that blows back depending on weather conditions?\nThis shocked me as I was asking for advice, and basically was told only to light it when the wind's in the right direction! My advice, don't buy this stove, put the extra money towards a decent fire. I hope I've saved someone £300.00. I've owned many stoves over the years, from gas bottles to a Clearview, all work better than this one.\n\n

Stove expert replied: This sounds like a problem with the chimney rather than the stove. It might be worth speaking to a chimney specialist as usually this problem can be solved. Worth a try?
