Review of Dru 78 stove

Dru 78 Multi Fuel Stove

Geoffrey Isaac 10 years ago

We bought this stove to replace a Stovax insert fire, we removed because we increased the living space of our room and the Stovax wasn't efficient enough. The Dru answered our prayers as the output of the heavy cast iron construction is like a radiator in itself. We also bought the stove knowing that it is possibly the heaviiest on the market (we call it the beast) the only fault I can think of is the ash pan it is made of flimsy steel with sharp edges whereas It could have been made of stainless steel with folded edges, other than that it is a briiliant fire.
