Review of Charnwood C 5 stove

Very impressed

Cyril Bonnett 10 years ago

We have had the stove now for a month, we find it very easy to use, lights easily and heats up quick. We are burning kiln dried birch at the moment and although it burns fast it throws out a lot of heat.

The glass does smoke up at the sides but we've been cleaning with ceramic hob cleaner which takes seconds. We got the multifuel grate but took it out (less than 15 minutes) as we are burning just wood now. Charnwood's dealer and their technical dept.,have been very helpful answering questions about the stove. Would recommend this stove.
