A good stove it gives out more than enough heat compared to my open fire, I use less fuel and get loads more heat and it keeps in all night, well recommended.
Super stove, went for larger stove for room size, just control output by air inlet controls. I run it on both wood and smokeless and this saves us loads of brass in winter. I have not put a
radiator back on after redecoration due to its performance. A very well made stove and good after sale service.
Overall, we are very satisfied with our medium-size Sherborne stove. Once we learned to fill the box completely, and then to control the heat through the upper vents, the heat it produced was
significantly more than we expected. On most days the stove takes the place of five radiators in four rooms plus a hall. (It should be noted that our house is insulated to a standard that exceeds new-build requirements, however.)On the down side, the firebox size is relatively small, and so far we have been unable to get it to burn overnight. We have been burning seasoned wood rather than coal which is much dirtier, but it is possible that coal would last unattended for a full eight hours.I have rated build quality as 4 but in truth I have no idea of the basic quality, except that thus far everything seems to be in good condition. The quality of the finish may leave something to be desired, although the rings and marks which the stove has acquired may be due to carelessness by workmen who were more concerned with the floor they were installing than with our new stove top. My expectation is that the marks will disappear with the annual maintenance regime.In another house, we used a Jotul stove to heat our entire house. Our current stove was never meant to accomplish this task. But it would certainly keep us from hyperthermia should our main heating system go down in the dead of winter. In a pinch, we could even heat a meal on the ring provided. For our needs and the space we had available for installation, we think the Aarow Sherbourne was our best possible choice.
