Review of Villager A
Excellent stove. Can fit a large amount of wood in and leave to burn slowly over night and able to relight in the morning. One problem is that the fire cord around the door is too thin and let a draft into the fire whilst the doors were closed. Replaced this cheaply enough for a thicker cord and problem sorted.
Stove expert replied: The fire rope used will not only depend on the diameter but the density of it and perhaps all that was needed was adjusting of the doors before rope replacement. You can tell if the rope requires replacing if it has become flat and seated and there is no spring left in it when you press it.
