Review of Stovax Riva 40 multi fuel

Do not buy this stove

Margaret Nenville 10 years ago

I have just learned my Riva 40 has completely burned through after only 8 years. I have never been happy with it, as not a lot of heat came from it, my open fire gave out better heat. For the price of this fire I am very disappointed and would not recommend it to any one.
