Review of Huntington 28 Stovax stove

Great little stove

Annemie Verkoeijen 12 years ago

We are Dutch and live in the south of the Netherlands.

This is our first stove ever,in our other house we had an open fireplace.

We choose this stove because it is small and looks very pretty with the gothic door.

We live in a 1930’s house with no floor or wall insulation.

Our sitting room is 10 x 4 meters and has a high ceiling and we have central heating. (which we don’t use when the stove is burning)

The stove stands in the middle of the room and when we heat it up it warms the whole room, most of the time so well that we must open the door to the hall and dining room because it is getting to warm. (we had some very cold days in January)

Although the Huntingdon is a multifuel burner we only burn wood.

The stove gets so hot that you can’t stand longer than a few seconds in front of it, just long enough to put another log in.

We don’t mind that is has a small and shallow fire box. We have logs of 30 cm that just fit into it. Every 30 to 45 minutes you have to put one in to keep the temperature. It is very easy to light a fire and even the control ability after a short time is very easy.

The air wash works almost perfect.

Even our friends and family who all have different kinds of woodburners are amazed by the heat output.

I honestly can't find a negative point.

So all in all we are very happy with this small little heat bomb and would buy it any time again
