Review of Clearview Pioneer 400 stove

Pioneer 400 Pros & Cons

Roger Bradley 16 years ago

Without doubt, a great stove. We bought ours from people putting in a new one (wonder if they bought another Clearview?)

\nPro - Very controllable (slider is main control). Amazing gentle flame, very watchable. Top quality build.

\nCon - Small stove so can't stack enough wood to last overnight - but it only takes a few minutes in the morning to have a cosy fire roaring again.
