    We've had this stove for under a year after moving into an big old house- we replaced a Rayburn oil cooker with this. We deliberated a long time about the make & size we wanted but as we had... []

    Stove expert replied: The flue draw seems to be the problem from what you say and this is not the stoves fault! Is there an air brick in the room? Are there other flues in the property that may have a stronger draw that is affecting this one? Have you an anti-downdraught cowl fitted? Is the chimney lined? What height is the flue system? As the draw improves when the flue is warm this shows the flue is the problem. Wood burning stoves are not recommended for use over-night, the slow burning period produces too many tar residues and can lead to chimney problems. Do get the installation checked as the problems outlined should be able to be improved on.

    I bought this stove 8 months ago, supplied with an outside air supply. Having lived in houses with various stoves including a Clearview this stove is in a different league. It has now stayed... []

    Stove expert replied: Please make sure that monthly the stove is let out and thoroughly cleaned insuring that the flue is clear, slumbering the stove leads to more debris being produced and leaving so long without checking is not good practise.
