Review of Clearview Pioneer 400 stove

A great purchase; replacing Esse 300 insert(waste of money)

8 years ago

Bought this stove to replace Esse 300 insert which I reviewed. It appears that the Esse was indeed at fault; despite the input from "stove expert". The stove is excellent without any modification to the flue, etc. It performs brilliantly with strong winds, and is controllable. An amazing amount of heat, with not a lot of fuel. You wont be disappointed with this stove. Looks great.
