Review of Charnwood Country 4 stove

Great wee stove

Marie Rafferty 3 months ago

I bought a house in 2005 and this stove was already in it. At that time it was a wood burner but I bought the pack and converted it to a multifuel stove. Great decision and very easy to do. My stove also has a back boiler so I have all the domestic hot water I need. In fact I could do with letting it heat some radiators as well as it produces so much hot water but I don''t know how to go about doing that! This stove is the most user friendly stove, it lights every time with very little effort. Never fails. I burn a mix of wood and coal and can get a great heat from it as well as the hot water. I used to buy a type of small coal pieces called trebles and I used these to keep the stove burning all night. I don''t do this anymore but I reckon I could do it also with doubles. I have not had to do one thing with it since I moved in although it could probably do with a luck of paint as it has gone a bit grey. All in all a brilliant little stove, I thoroughly recommend it.
