Review of Carron enamel stove

Carron 7.3 Green enameled stove

Peter Adamson 10 years ago

Used an open log fire which really only heated the room it was in, so decided on this to give a bit more heat through the house. Use 'Multibrite' smokeless briquettes which need replenishing only twice a day and burn all night - longest burn so far is 14 hours and still able to re-stoke on top of existing fire-bed! Leave all doors open at night and the heat permeates through the whole house, as we wanted. Ashpan needs to be emptied only once a day.
