Review of Burley Hollywell 9105 stove

Disappointing

Edward Kearney 9 years ago

I have not found that this stove lives up to all the praise which surrounds it. The worst aspect is the fact that the glass begins to blacken up after a very short time and by the end of the evening is very unsightly and this is every time I light it. The glass has to be thoroughly cleaned each morning with ceramic cleaner. All this in spite of the fact that I am burning dry wood and the stove has an external air supply. Others I know with different models very rarely need to clean their glass.
