Review of Clearview Pioneer 400 stove
Clearview Pioneer 400 Stove
I have used several different stoves over the years, Morso, Stovax, Arrow. A friend of ours has a Pioneer 400. Whilst visiting them, was the fist time we had seen the Pioneer in action. \n\nWe recently moved house and left our much loved Morso behind. Our new home has two fireplaces, we have just fitted the Pioneer 400 in to one of them. It is fantastic, very controllable, the airwash really does work. The fit and finish of the stove is excellent. It is very efficient, providing you use well seasoned hard wood. I was apprehensive about purchasing a 'steel' stove, I now wonder why? I cannot recommend this stove enough. If you have any doubts about spending the extra compared with some other cheaper stoves, don't you will not be disappointed!\n\nI have marked burning overnight down slightly, however I do not expect the stove to do this, filling the firebox full of wood and 'slumbering' it, is not what these stoves have been designed to do. If you want it to go through the night use Anthracite. I have also marked the handle operation down slightly as you need a glove to operate it due to it getting hot. I will get used to it, I am finding the glove useful for positioning logs in the firebox. \n\nThe Clearview 650 is now on order and will be fitted in the next couple of weeks, this will heat our domestic hot water and run the central heating, Winter here we come!I hope this review helps.
