Review of Clearview vision insert stove

Brilliant

A very good stove. It took me a day or two to work out I needed to fully fuel the firebox when getting the stove up to temperature after lighting. However now I do this it comfortably gets my 18 x 12ft lounge up to 27 degrees within an hour or so of being lit. The control you can get with this stove is superb, once its up to temperature 3 logs will last you the whole evening and keep the stove running at between 400 and 500 degrees and your room above 25 degrees. Why did I wait so long before buying???

My only pieces of advice to anyone looking to buy a stove is 1) make sure you have room to store enough wood to last you through a winter season. 2) Make sure you buy a stove with enough kw to heat your space 3) buy one - you won't regret it.
