Review of Esse 500 stove

door handle impossible to move

Sandra Laird 9 years ago

had stove for 4 months

when the stove is hot I find it impossible to move the door handle to put more logs on

so stiff that the stove moves before I can open it(not much use if you cant add fuel)

have to get my husband to do it he has to put a lot of effort in to move it!!!
