Review of Charnwood C 6 stove

Slightly Dissapionted

John Rennie 10 years ago

I have an installer coming to look at his stove as the back plate is buckled, this was brought to my attention by chimney sweep, when he tried to remove the throat plate. It is only 3 years old and I feel it should not happen, the metal on the back plate does not seem to be heavy enough.

Stove expert replied: Metal internal components may fail from overfiring of the stove which should be checked out in more depth to insure future failures are prevented. Consumable items will require replacement from time to time depending on their usage.
