Island 2
We have this stove for years. Very easy to use. The only downside we have is that the Air control has never worked. It makes no difference if you push it in fully or pull it out. It burns fuel... [ read more ]
Stove expert replied: Have you had the flue draw taken as this may be making the stove work hard with little response from the air controls? You will use a lot of fuel for the heat that is generated as it is being sucked out of the stove more quickly than it should if the draw is excessive.

Waste of money
I had this stove installed 1 week ago. Despite following the instructions on lighting and running the fire the room just does not get warm at all. I am using kiln dried wood and lots of if but... [ read more ]
Stove expert replied: This model should be producing and average of 5kW and depending on the room size should make a noticeable difference. I would discuss this with the supplier but it is unclear who suggested this stove - supplier or installer. Was the chimney lined? How much space have you round the stove? Is the stove working hard and not producing heat or is it sluggish? Your installer should be able to do a flue test to check that it matches the requirements suggested by the manufacturer. Check the manual to ensure that you are operating the controls as suggested and perhaps get a stove thermometer. Persevere as I am sure there will be something that can be done to improve the performance.

DELIGHTED
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.... [ read more ]

Pricey stove, poor output and cream finish disappointing

Stove expert replied: Get the installer back to check all is well, you may need to extend the flue. Is the flue lined? An alternative cowl may also help to solve this but further investigation is required.

Stove expert replied: Open grate are normally used when smiokeless fuels are used as an unde draught is required, the closed grate is for wood so that the ash can build up on it nd wood burns best with an over draught.

Stove expert replied: The smell of the paint curing will wearing off after a few firings. The noise requires further investigation, perhaps the baffle plate is not quite in the right place. The stove shoudl be controllable and should not be running at a fast rate all the time, so if using the air controls does nothing to slow the rate of burn down I would suggest looking at getting a damper so that more control can be achieved.
