Review of Burley Wakerley stove

Burley Wakerley 12kw

Linda State 13 years ago

I bought 2 of these after seeing the 8kw version on in a local shop, paid £800 each, having a very large property we thought we would need something this size...however when they are in full flow we find ourselves taking off a layer and even on occasion opening a window! \nHad initial trouble getting it to run right but after emailing Burley they put me in touch with the stoves designer who has been fantastic. Having never had a wood burner before only coal fires he helped us get them running efficiently. Now its a pleasure to sit and watch the flames dance....fabulous\n\n
