Review of Broseley hercules 20B

Broseley Stove 30kw output

Revd MacLeod 13 years ago

We bought the Broseley Stove Herculees 30kw last year, it is supposed to heat around 24-26 rads, however we had the stove fitted connecting it with a nutriliser to our Gas boiler so that the two can work together or on their own.\n\nThe fire gets very hot, and last week the Thermometer said it was 700, this week it is around 400 - 500.\n\nOn a whole we are very happy with the fire, you do need to know what you are doing, and if you are having one to do central heating then do be carful who you get to do the work.\n\nWe have used lots of types of coal on the fire from cobbles and we are now using the small grade A solid fuel house coal.\n\nThis stays in all night, infact the fire has not gone out in two weeks.\n\nWe are situated in the Peak District which can be cold, so well worth it.\n\n

Stove expert replied: Ensure Qualified Hetas Engineers install the appliance and secondly try different fuels until you find the one that works best on your appliance and you get a warm outcome.
