• Money up in flames........!!

  Martin Irwin 6 years ago

  I should have read some of these reviews before buying. I've had this stove professionally fitted, with all the correct flues etc. This stove had no adequate controls whatsoever. If stuffed
  to the neck with hardwood, it lasts for 9 minutes......... By the time I've cut more timber, is all but burnt out. I now see why this is cheap....... a truly awful product.

  Stove expert replied: It may not be the stove but a high flue draw that is too strong, check this before you warp the stove. A stove should be controllable so that a steady flame picture can be achieved. If the flue draw is excessive a damper or flue stabiliser will need to be added.

• Clarke Potbelly Stove

  John Roberts 9 years ago

  Very poor quality stove. The stove needs to be almost constantly fed with wood because the burn-rate cannot be controlled due to leaks.

  Stove expert replied: Check the flue draw as it may not be the stove at fault!

• Clarkes pot belly stove

  John Brown 9 years ago

  Have just fitted this stove to my garage and am very disappointed as it has to be constantly tended. It burns far too quickly and has to be restocked every 15-20 minutes. Its practically
  impossible to control the air flow it just roars away regardless ... unless you close everything then it goes out. I have tried a myriad of woods, seasoned, soft, hard ... even smoke free fuel and it struggles to warm my one car sized garage. In its defence it burns wood, extremely quickly and efficiently.

  Stove expert replied: Perhaps you need a damper in the flue to get more control if all the seals on the stove are operating correctly.

• replacement grid

  Dave 10 years ago

  I've had mine for few years now and burnt wood only. I'm very satisfied customer but the grid at the bottom has snapped couple of days ago. Still using it but not sure for how long. Is there
  a way of replacing the grid or do I need to get a new stove altogether? Any advice is welcome. Many thanks

• Clarke standard pot belly stove

  Craig 13 years ago

  I bought this stove for a reasonably large outbuilding, after great expense to have professionally installed the stove is totally uncontrollable with regards to burn rate. Air control does not
  exist. Fuel chamber is so small it is more time consuming cutting small pieces of fuel and burns so quickly needs re fueling every ten minutes. I am very disappointed in this stove and do not recommend anyone to buy it!

• Clarkes 'multi-fuel' stove

  Alan Reeve 13 years ago

  A very cheap stove that, while it gives off quite a lot of heat, needs constant feeding. It claims to be multi-fuel, but burning anything other than wood - such as coal - risks the stove overheating
  and cracking (as I have discovered). It may be OK for occasional use,m but definitely not where you need to use it regularly. I would not buy one again - as other reviewers have indicated: you get what you pay for.

  Dr Andrew Clemmit Chambers 14 years ago

  Cheap black finish burns off right away good for heating vans sheds ect. this thing will never burn over night has to be topped up around every 30min.The unit sucks in far to much air even with
  the bottom vent closed as the parts are a poor fit. I wood not buy this or any other clarke woodburner again.

  Stove expert replied: As with many things you often get what you pay for when it comes to stoves. As long as you realise this when purchasing then the cheaper end of the market does of course have its place, just don't expect it to perform as well as a higher end model.
