Review of Little Wenlock stove
great little stove
This is our first year of use and we cannot rate this stove highly enough. This model now has an improved controllable airwash and we have not found the blacking of the glass to be a problem. What amazed us is how easy it is to control and how quickly it responds to the use of the dial (which is also improved in the new model).\nWe have not used the central heating yet this year (November) as the heat just seems to get all around the house. We fitted a thermometer to ours which indicates when the fire is burning at its most efficient and I would recommend one of these. They are only cheap to buy and just fit magnetically to the flue anywhere you want.\nI have down marked the airwash system because the glass does get some blacking on it but it doesn't detract from the overall appearance and personally I think this can only be expected.\nMy other downmark is the firebox size. Whilst adequate some largish logs will not fit but if it were any bigger we would be roasted out of the room!\nThe burning over night we have not purposely tried but we did put some barbecue briquettes on one night and the were still glowing the next morning. It would have been easy to fuel more wood to get it going again.\nIt is extremely easy to light and we have not had a failed lighting yet. We just use a couple of firelighters and a few kindling sticks and its away first time.\nIt is easy to clean and there is little ash to remove each day. I have noticed a little more dust around but the comfort and pleasure of a 'real' fire more than makes up for the minimal inconvenience it may cause.\nWish we'd fitted one sooner.
