  All in all a great stove and despite the handle getting hot, which I can live with and the slightly small space to load your wood, it as an absolute pleasure to use. I can't rate Clearview highly
  enough. This stove is very high quality and worth the investment for aficionado or beginner alike.

• Wonderful but what about smokeless fuel?

  Janet Christian 9 years ago

  I have just replaced my Stanley Shire with a Pioneer 400 and in most respects am delighted with it. It is indeed easy to light and control and the air wash works very well. I find the handle rather stiff and have so far not managed to keep it in overnight although it certainly is easy to relight. My one rather considerable gripe is that when the stove had been installed I discovered from the Instruction leaflet that it would void the warranty to burn manufactured smokeless fuels on it. Having been assured before purchase that it was suitable for smokeless fuels I had just received a large delivery of Supatherm, the fuel I used in the Stanley. So far I have been using seasoned logs but I would like to use both types of fuel because a supply of seasoned wood cannot be guaranteed and I haven't a great deal of storage space. Also I imagine I could easily keep the stove in for hours without the need for refuelling using the Supatherm and this does not seem to be the case using logs.

  Stove expert replied: I would check again as this stove is sold as a multifuel stove which normally means wood and smokeless fuels are able to be used. Providing Supatherm is not petroleum based it should be OK.

  I spent ages researching stoves, in the end we decided on balance that the Clearview would be best for us and we have not been disappointed. It is a really good little stove very simple and
  well made with a quality finish. It is really easy to use and lights in seconds.The most amazing fact is that the glass does not get dirty at all even after burning for hours with wood or anthracite, the air wash is 100% effective. We live in London so paid a bit more and got one with the smoke control kit fitted. This means that you cannot fully shut down the which would make overnight burning impractical I think. Anyway it is so easy to light that we don't bother. It is very economical to run using only about a quarter of the logs that our open fire consumed last winter, the company supply excellent wood stores by the way. You need to consider where you fit the stove as we have ours in a fireplace cavity and this does mean that quite a bit of the output is absorbed by the chimney breast which is okay as it acts as a massive storage radiator, it looks right and we love it.

  Stove expert replied: Great feedback, happy customer of this Clearview stove. Fair point regarding the Defra kit as it does mean the stove can't be shut right down but this is how the stoves pass the required tests to enable them to be fitted in a smoke controlled area.

  This stove is great.Everything about it exceeded my expectations .It heats our living room and about 2/3 of the downstairs of our 500 square foot house plus the bedrooms,without needing the
  central heating on(now the Insulation in the house is done)We only use well seasoned wood it lights easily,heats the room quickly,is responsive,stays in and with the raised fire box is mesmerizing to watch.Not sure its the best value for money but it will pay for itself so you might as well get what you really want.A wooden door handle would be better. Have a Charnwood country 4 in dining room which is nice but there is no comparison.We went for 2 smaller stoves rather than 1 big one as its more flexible,the heat sources are in different parts of the house and you don't end up with a stove that's too hot to sit next to.Roll on winter!

  We fitted the stove in a high ceilinged garden room, very easy to light and very warm.

  I love this stove. Our house is heated solely by our two clearview stoves. This is the small one in the dining room and I only use it when we are eating. I light it 1/2 hour before I need to
  use the room and it will take it from unbearably cold to pleasantly warm in that time. Even with rubbish wood the temperature in the stove rises to 600F in about 15 mins. If you want something quick and easy this is perfect.
