DELIGHTED

Richard Hotston 9 years ago

I was recommended this stove by our local (small) retailer.

It is well made, easy to start, easy to control with the one knob and seems very efficient.

I use a bed of SuperTherm briquettes as a base below the logs (kiln-dried).

I also use 2 fans on top of the burner either side of the flue, to gently blow the heat outwards instead of most of it going upwards.
