Review of Charnwood Island I stove

Great stove - still learning how to use, but like it more by the day.

I recently bought this stove for my house in London.

I took some getting used to lighting it - and realised that I have to use a good amount of kindling wood. Now that I have plenty of that, it lights very very easily.

My only struggle has been with the Quattroflow. The instructions online are pretty much non existent and I don't seem to be able to put it in four positions.

I think I can only put it the first two open positions - primary and secondary.

I would love someone of this forum to confirm / negate that if possible?

Many thanks,

Dan.

Stove expert replied: The fire is controlled by the single air control knob. Pull the knob out to make the fire burn faster, push it in to make the fire burn slower this seems straight forward. The Quattroflow is operated within this control.
