Review of Bohemia 60 stove

bohemia 60 multi fuel stove 5*

First time stover and I cant speak highly enough of my bohemia 60 multi fuel stove, it looks great and it burns really well, The air wash is amazing and keeps the glass really clear, I was pleasantly surprised by the size of the glass viewing window its huge and you get a really good view of the fire that weve had in for two months now. I've had it going pretty much every day without any problems, the ash pan at the bottom is great but I think I will invest in as ash can hoover soon. The only thing I would say if your buying a stove for the first time is use the online calculator to work out how many kW stove you need for the size of the room your going to install it in as I think I may have got a bigger kW stove than I need. My living room is like a sauna within 20-30 mins of it being lit and if we leave both doors open in the living room it easily heats the whole of our three bed room bungalow and kitchen dinning room and small extension within about 90 mins. I haven't tried an over night burn yet as if we let the fire go out about 10-11pm the house is still around 18-20 degrees the next morning as it insulated very well. I think we are going to save a lot of money this winter up here in chilly Scotland as we haven't been using the central much since we got our stove. The adjustable primary and secondary air on this stove are great and control the fire very well. The door also feels very sturdy when you open and close it, again I honestly can't see how this stove could be any better for its £500 price tag. I will try and remember to come back in a year and update this review.
