Review of Dru 44 stove
DRU 44 Multifuel
We live in a poorly insulated (soon to change), concrete council house at the end of a terrace, so our heating needs are high. However, knowing we are slowly but surely improving this, we didn't want to get too big a stove. I installed a DRU44 after much deliberation and we haven't looked back. Initially we were burning soft wood logs, and though impressed by the heat, were shocked at the amount of fuel consumed. Now we burn a mix of log and ecobrite smokeless coal. The result is fantastic! We have had a very severe cold snap this winter but our DRU has provided more than ample heat. Once it's going, we now leave the sitting room door open so the heat travels upstairs and warms the rest of the house.\n\nThe build quality is high and I love the simple design - no rodents or frilly stuff on this little baby!\nWe haven't got the hang of overnight burning as we haven't really needed to. I'm told turf is good for this but I don't know. Though I placed the stove in front of the chimney rather than in it, the chimney is acting like a storage heater, releasing warmth all next day. I installed a steel flu liner and I recommend doing this as the draw is great.
