Review of Dunsley Highlander 5 stove

Great little multifuel stove

We've had ours for 3 years and it lights quickly and then burns slowly if you follow the instructions in the manual. Took me a while to get used to the settings.

It is good looking and burns efficiently. Was fantastic in the winter of 2012 when we had 14 ft snow drifts outside and a power cut. Our other fire a Charnwood Country 4 is (slower to light, burns fuel more quickly and is prone to having insufficient air-wash to keep the glass clean) so not quite as good as the Dunsley. I'll buy a Dunsley to replace the Charnwood.
