Review of Clock Blithfield 5 and Compact 5 Stoves

Clock Compact 5

David Kemp 2 years ago

A nice little stove, but it has a tiny ash box, about an inch deep. Fine if you only burn wood, as the burner is very efficient and leaves little ash, but if you burn coal the ash reaches the bottom of the grate very quickly. With coal being phased out, it''s less of an issue really.
