I'm looking for a replacement for this stove

I've not been pleased by this stove, it gets through a lot of wood for low heat output. It's set into a fireplace under a lintel so heat escape and air circulation are good but none-the-less I expect more output than I get.

Stove Expert Replied: Having a stove set into a fireplace can restrict air flow, might be worth investing in a stove fan that is riven but heat generated as this would move the heat into the room.

This is our 4th wood stove, counting different manufacturers, this is the best airwash, keep the glass clean we have had. Very pleased.

Nice stove

Overall a good stove: very nice looking and seems well made. Lights well and burns well (this may be more down to flue than stove). However the factory finish wasn't great (paintwork not properly touched up etc). I'm pleased with it but next time may choose a Cleaview Pioneer 400.
