Review of Bergen stove
Bergen stove
Some months ago I started to find small stove for my weekend cottage.
When I read below some reviews even not all positive I decide to convince myself and buy used Bergen. The design fitted perfectly into my living room and I was believing that with modern technology equiped Bergen should work properely. To prevent smoking of the door I decided to flue from top (see http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nJenxq3OTEo) then leave the door ajar for 15 minutes as it burns slowly in the beginning. I put some logs on and shut the door when the fire starts burning more intensively. Result: Clean door, nice burning wood, no smoke in my living room. Next week I will install fresh air supply ducting set. Stpve Expert Replied, Providing the flue gases are rising up the flue system leaving the door open initially is OK if however the smoke comes back into the room do not do this. Flue gases are dangerous, make sure you have a carbon monoxide alarm in the room.
