Review of Villager Elite stove

My Villager Elite

Gary Pugh 10 years ago

Nearly bought a cheaper stove from Ebay, but was warned off due to Chinese imports, so glad I was, as my Elite stove has been working in our home for 4+ years without any problems.

It's also fairly easy to keep in overnight with logs staying in 8/10 times and 10/10 with coal. With the cost of oil going up its great to have an alternative.
