Review of Jetmaster 60i inset stove

We have experienced one winter with this stove. The heat output is adequate for our large sitting room, however we do use it alongside two radiators. It takes some practice to learn how to get the fire started and keep it burning once the logs are on. It is not as easy to use as our Clearview freestanding stove that we had installed in another room at the same time.. The ash pan is far too shallow and emptying it can be a messy job. The glass also requires frequent cleaning. The stove is not as controllable as we would like and will often not burn properly unless the air vent is open more than we were told it needed to be. Often when lighting a fire the door has to be kept slightly ajar to increase airflow.

This may be normal and depend on the draw of the chimney.
