broseley 30 b
we have this stove now 3 yrs and its the best thing ever, I wanted the 20 b but was delivered the 30 b by mistake and came to an arrangement with supplier in price. I have to say the 20 b wouldStove expert replied: As this is a bigger boiler that you wanted please make sure that you do operate it for short periods on max temperature as stoves should not slumber for prolonged periods as it can lead to flue problems. Nice feedback though!

Terrible stove
Doors don''t close correctly gaps on both doors leading to poor control of rate of burn, no adjustment has improved this. Glass appears too small to fit doors correctly. Baffle plate poor quality -

Lid cracking
I purchased one of these stoves about 7 years ago. In that time I've cracked 3 lids. It costs £379 pounds to replace it. That's with delivery. I'm gutted. I bought it with the intentionStove expert replied: Replacement parts will be required during the lifetime of any stove and by lid I am assuming you are referring to baffle plate which is subjected to the greatest heat when the stove is operating. Failure of these plates can be due to over-firing, incorrect fuels and even a strong draw on the flue system so further investigation would be advised to try to identify the cause of the failures. As you have had 3 in 7 years they are lasting over 2 years each which does not necessarily seem excessive though!

Not impressed
Had the 30kw for several years now. I have other brands throughout my property and can say it's probably the last in line for praises. It looks superb and is of sturdy construction, but thatStove expert replied: The liner should go from top to bottom in the flue not part way. Is it insulated round the liner as you have a large gap round it by what you have written? If not insulated then this will certainly affect the way the stove can perform due to the cooling gases in the flue system. As you have other flues in the property they may be robbing this flue of a good draw and further investigation on all the stoves is recommended, it may not be the stove at fault and more to do with the installation.

replacement of doors
Hi just replying to your comment about replacing the door I have no intentions of doing this as I would have to replace the 2 doors in my opinion a stove that is only 2 years old shouldn't haveStove expert replied: I would suggest contacting Broseley regarding this as the stove is only 2 years old or go back to the supplier for a suitable way forward.
