Review of Charnwood Country 4 stove

Excellent stove!

Anna 11 years ago

Admittedly this is the first stove we're ever bought but as far we can tell it is excellent and we're not sure how it could be better for a stove of its size. As you can see from our ratings, we are very happy with every aspect of the stove. We only put a 3 for burning over night as we haven't really tried this yet so we can't really judge, although there have been a couple of occasions when it's still been warm in the morning. We have the multifuel option and have not tried this yet either but will do and will try and keep it in overnight using a fuel other than wood. We would like to try anthracite although need to check that this is ok to burn in the stove.

Stove expert replied: Anthracite is one of the hotter fuels so if using do not over riddle the stove, try to leave a small bed of ash to protect the grate and make sure that the ash pan is emptied at least twice a day.
