• Nothing special

  Alasdair Paterson 7 years ago

  Heats the room very well Glass impossible to keep clean Supposed to heat 4radiators but barely does 2 When opening to refuel deposits of soot and ash very high

  Stove expert replied: Depending on the radiator sizes this stove may not be able to run 4 radiators, , 4.2kW is the rated output to water. What fuel are you burning - is it dry seasoned wood with a moisture content of less than 20%? if not then the glass will be hard to keep clean. Do make sure that the air wash is kept filly open. It might also pay to try an alternative fuel as they do vary greatly in the heat that they generate.

• Looks great not getting enough heat

  Paul Neaum 8 years ago

  I love the look of our Aarrow with its big window, it is like having an open fire but with the advantages of a burner. My only problem is that, weirdly given other reviews, I can't get it hot
  enough. It seems to sit at the bottom of the best operating temperature" at around 100 - 130ºC, highest I ever had it was 150ºC. We have a new flue, etc, so not sure why we are having this problem. Other than that it is a great looking and easy to use burner.

  Stove expert replied: Please go back to your installer and ask him to take a flue draw test to ensure that there is adequate air to enable the stove to operate effectively, is there an airbrick in the room as this is a high output stove and will require more air than is normally present? What flue height is there and is it connected to the top or rear of the stove? Check that the fuel is dry and well seasoned. There is likely to be some reason why the stove is sluggish and this is normally easily rectified when you have found the cause. Most likely an installation issue rather than a fault with the stove.

• Too Hot

  Ken Fraser 8 years ago

  stove does not turn down airflow enough to keep fire going on tick over just burns up quickly

  Stove expert replied: The controls should be able to close the stove to a slumber mode, if this is not the case then you may have an over-drawing flue that should be investigated further to prevent damage to the stove.

• Ecoburn 11

  Luke Ruttle 11 years ago

  We have had our "Ecoburn 11" for over 4 years now. It is only used periodically in winter in our large day room. The day room is half part of the house and the other half is an added conservatory
  . This means in winter the room can get to -5 of -10C in the depth of winter. I'm not into the technicalities of the stove, I can only say over that period it has been superb. Even in the coldest temperature the day room can be as warm as we would want it to be. When we were looking for this stove we could have paid twice the asking price for other models, I'm very glad we chose the right one. Only one problem to mention is the handle seized after 3 years but other wise it's a great product which I would recommend to anyone.

• Aarow Ecoburn 11 - Five years on.

  Maureen McClelland 11 years ago

  Bought this stove after looking for one suitable to fit in my existing fireplace opening and chimney arrangement which necessitated a fairly small front to back dimension - which the Aarrow
  stove had. Opted for the multifuel grate and backboiler to provide a backup to a condensing boiler I had installed earlier. Installation was straightforward and the backboiler plumbing hooked up to a separate vented hot water cylinder and header tank operating a gravity system also feeding a bathroom radiator.I also installed a separate pump on a diverter circuit so that flow could be directed into the rest of the central heating system.The stove exceeded all expectations and even managed to run an extra 2 radiators. I found I did not need to operate the gas boiler at all due to the direct output from the stove and the additional radiator performance.The stove has been operated exclusively on smokeless fuel during the colder periods and will keep burning through the night if stoked correctly and kept clean.I have also burned unseasoned and seasoned hardwood, softwood, solid fuel briquettes, coal and various mixtures of smokeless fuel - all successfully but each requiring more or less maintenance. It is essential to provide an adequate air supply and keep the flue and chimney clean - if you are burning wood or non smokeless fuels the chimney will require more maintenance.Lighting the stove is not difficult once you learn the rudiments - firelighter - a few sticks and away you go.There is a bit of inertia from first lighting to getting use able heat out of the stove which is to be expected. Anyone not used to stoves and open fires in general may find them high maintenance and dirty - surfaces in the house are dusty - weather conditions sometimes cause blow back of smoke when fuelling the fire and you do get your hands dirty, but the independence from the grid and the cosiness soon make up for this.I recently serviced the fire replacing the back boiler(as a precaution, the original was still serviceable),the stove liners,the glass and seals and a respray with the Aarrow paint. The stove looks brand new. I do clean the stove every day and make sure the glass is always cleaned. The original glass had lasted five years but developed surface crazing which did not look too good.One thing that did annoy was the bottom air vent rattling when windy - I cured that with a wave spring.Other niggles - the moving grate clogs with ash and does not work effectively after a time - the individual grate sections are also very expensive. The gauge of the steel at the back of the stove is a little on the thin side - the boiler union developed a leak - un-noticed for a few weeks - and rusted the steel right through.All in all I can heartily recommend this stove - with a little effort on my part in sourcing fuel and maintaining the stove my running costs are half what I paid in gas. This will obviously increase as gas prices increase year on year.

  Stove expert replied: Glass crazing (small marks that gradually creep over the glass) are normally caused by the stove being operated on a low setting for prolonged periods, short burst of fast burn at least twice a day for 15-20mins should prevent this. Also note that you have used unseasoned hardwood, only seasoned wood with a moisture content of less than 20% is recommended to maintain good air passage in the flue system.

• Aarrow Ecoburn 11

  David Hales 11 years ago

  Very well made stove.We found it used a lot of wood when we first installed it. The temperature gauge we put on it kept reading well above the optimum level even with all the vents closed.However
  after we fitted a damper in the flue it became controllable and economic.A quality stove, well recommended.
