Review of Stovax Stockton 5 stove

Stockton 5 Review

Stephen Revill 15 years ago

Purchased 2 stoves for holiday cottages. Tried it ourselves and in addition lived in one of the cottages while our kitchen was refurbished. Easy to light and controls work well. Possible to keep glass clear of soot, but not easy. Heat output adequate for kitchen/dinner and living room,but it is supplemented with radiators. There is never a complaint from holiday makers about lighting or keeping alight, but few manage to keep glass clean. No permanent air ventilation required, important in our installation. Would buy again as its good value.
