Review of Riva 66 Multi-fuel Fire

Five Years on and still happy

7 years ago

Stove running for five years now with no problems. Stove outer looks as good as new. The grate is now a little warped and a couple of the firebricks are cracked so we will need spare parts this year for the first time. Both of us are working full time and we can split enough logs to feed it.

If I bought this stove again I would have a single duct outlet instead of two outlets so heat is pushed into all the upper rooms (instead of some vents acting as a return path making those rooms slightly cooler (though still quite warm) otherwise it is perfect for our needs
