Review of Jetmaster 18f stove

Jetmaster 18f short straight legs

7 years ago

We wanted a stove that wasn't too deep and therefore didn't intrude in to the room too much. But also ticked all the boxes for airwash, defra smoke approved and multi fuel. Along with not too modern (looking like a TV screen as my other half said) but also not looking more suited for a country house.

This fitted the bill down to every last point along with being within the 5kw heat output and a decent sized area for the logs.

Totally impressed with this wood burner as it whacks out the heat with just a few bits of wood. Getting it hot enough to start cleans any soot off as it burns. Only the one adjustment on the air intake and that seems to control the heat well.

We got it with the short straight legs and this looks great with a contemporary look.

Build quality seems very good and boy is this heavy. The only thing I think lets it down is the handle socket. The handle stays out and is like a large allen key on a wooden handle which is fine but I can see that the small surround to the hole you put it in will start to get some small scratches over time so it would have been nicer to do something to prevent this.

Can't recommend this unit enough.

Stove expert replied: High praise on most aspects of this stove, shame the handle gives rise for concern in the future.
