Review of Bransdale stove

We have had this stove only two weeks, but we are much happier with it than the last stove we had. It is so much more efficient, especially with solid fuel. The stove body temperature reaches 300c very quickly, and the fuel burns to a fine ash. I think the stove is one of the best looking on the market, and is very reasonably priced for the quality.

On the minus side, the fuel guard could be better designed, and also the ashpan.

The airwash works well, but it could be made better if it was designed similar to the ones on Woodwarm stoves.

In conclusion, an excellent stove, highly recommended.
