Review of Clearview Pioneer 400 stove

I have tried a lot. These are the best

Simon Ashwell 3 years ago

I have now owned and used stoves by Charnwood, Clearview, Woodwarm and Dean Forge. I currently have 2 Cleaview Pioneers and have also previously owned a Clearview Vision 500.

Clearview Stoves are the best hands down. For ease of lighting, controllability, efficiency, heat production and general ease of use they are the best stoves I have used. I would not buy a stove made by any other company.
