Review of Burley Hollywell 9105 stove

Still brilliant after six years

Dave Chislett 4 years ago

We have had this woodburner for over six years and it is superb. It is always easy to light quickly. It gives out loads of heat. It''s easy to control. Still, after 600 to 700 burns each lasting between 5 and 10 hours - the glass is very clear. It makes very little ash-often needing emptying only after about 20 fires. We love to watch the fire through the big glass, then the embers as the hours pass. (its also good for roasting chestnuts) When we light it, we are able to see the entire burn without the glass becoming covered with tar. If we don''t light it so well, a light tar covers the glass - but this all clears as the firebox warms up. A really good stove.
