Review of Charnwood Cove 1 stove
Charnwood Cove 1
I have owned and used my stove for 3 months. We bought a multifuel stove to try to reduce our gas bills as our main source of heat was from gas. Even after taking into consideration the cost of logs and solid fuel, our heating bill for the quarter was cut by almost half. The stove is producing enough heat to warm most of a 4 bedroom detached house unless the weather is particularly cold. (Admittedly we prefer cool bedrooms.) The stove is now the focal point of the house and works equally well burning either solid fuel or logs. If we want to keep the fire in overnight we use smokeless slow burning fuel. If I am at home during the day I use logs only. The stove is clean, simple to use and very easy to light. Having had considerable experience of open fires, I have been very surprised at how little extra dirt or dust is made by the stove in relation to that made by an open fire. My only reservation is that the airwash system is not working particularly well. I think this is probably because it has been difficult over this winter to obtain fully seasoned logs. In conclusion, I can recommend the Cove 1 wholeheartedly, it has been a great addition to our household and what is more, the dog loves it!
