    I have had this stove for about 6 years and have just moved house and left it behind. We heated a 4 bedroom cottage with it, replacing electric storage heaters and a multi-fuel room heater... []

    Stove expert replied: The critical thing with any stove is the installation, making sure there is adequate free air in the room and a flue draw that is within the tolerances stipulated by the manufacturer. Then a good quality fuel and providing the stove matches the heating requirements all should be well.

  • Charnwood 16B Multifuel Ivory

    one year ago

    The first stove had to be returned because of very poor paint finish The second one was only slightly better, but after two years is going rusty where we wash down the paintwork The company will not deal with you, all dealings have to be through dealer who are not responsible for poor quality or performance Opening the doors is a nightmare and scratches the paint immediately you use it Holes through the hinge where you can see the flames, always black glass... []

    Stove expert replied: Manufacturers do not normally deal direct with the end user customer, the dealer are who you have the contract with so this is standard practise. It is not recommended to wash down stoves, when cool a soft brush should be all that is required.

    Fitted a Charnwood 16b back in September 09. Tended to use smokeless fuel rather than wood. When used 24/7 during the winters of 09/10. Kept the house warm, plenty of hot water for the two of... []

    Stove expert replied: Clearing the ash from the ash pan will help to maintain the grate system this should be done twice daily, also leaving a small bed of ash on top of the grates helps so do not over riddle the stove.

    Stove expert replied: Great feedback. Love the tip about getting the nails out of the firebox! It can a while to get the best out of a stove and always worth experimenting until you find what works best. Sounds a very warm home now!

    We installed the stove in march this year,its just great, house lovely and warm and alot cheaper to run than our last heating, wish we had done it years ago. The only downside we have is one of the glass doors cracked a few weeks ago! We use a thermometer so we do not overfire! Don't know what could have caused it. ... []

    Stove expert replied: Glass can crack at any time and there may not seem to be a reason for this, probably just unfortunate!

    Stove expert replied: You get two lots of heat from burning wood if you cut it yourself and then use it in the stove, can't be bad! Nice comments about the site helping this customer to choose their stove.
