Review of Aarrow Ecoburn plus 5 multi fuel stove

Little stunner

Fay Curry 6 years ago

Had this stove for 5 years it''s been faultless, after much thought of which stove we were lucky to see one working in a friend's house and that swayed us. Being British made was a plus but getting spares when needed was also important of which Arrada are very keen on. Once mastered, the airwash is very good we can go 3 days before its needs a rub over, but dry fuel is the key to it, build a log store and prepare in advance to getting your stove not the other way round. I use top down method for lighting as fire is really hot hence clean glass, ovoids also burn well in it as the flexifuel grate does its job, another thing that swayed us. Weather plays a big part in stoves, damp still days means you have watch them more both the airwash and draw. This stove is a real belter and we would recommend this to anybody who is pondering over what to choose. Nice tip we put a small iron rivet on the stove with a little scented oil, along with the stove fan has the house smelling of whatever you put in, today its Jasmine.Thank you Arrada made us happy.
