    Nice looking stove. Beautiful flame when running well. Air wash not great- needs bone dry wood. But easy to light and gives off a very good heat. Firebox adequate.

    Stove expert replied: I have used this stove myself and if any deposits do build up on the window then you can just burn it hard and fast for a while to burn them off.

    Gives out a lot of heat for a pure wood burner. The only problem is the airwash which in our experience is poor.

    Stove expert replied: A trick with the Westfire 16 stove is to crack the door open a tad when lighting it. Wait till it is nice and hot and going well before closing the door and then make sure that you close the ash pan and primary air slider. This should help keep the window clearer.

    Reviewed by Satish Patel, 4 years ago

    This stove is really easy to use, looks great as a stand-alone stove in a corner. The window size is large and the Firebox is more than fine for secondary heating of smaller rooms. The only element would be the costs, that really depends on if you require a stove to look good or just function.... [read more]

    Stove expert replied: This top bar is used in the factory to move the stoves around. When ordering specify that you want the top bar cut out - this involves 2 cuts either side of the bar, you need to leave the ends of the bar in place. Otherwise it is a very quick job when the stove arrives.
