Great Stove
Our Darby came with the house and it was the previous owners main source of heat, it throws out such a phenomenal amount of heat. I grew up with solid fuel Agas & coal stoves and this is so... [ read more ]

Coalbrookdale Darby
Forgot to mention in my review the only improvement I made to this stove is I replaced the three glass panels in each door with 1600 degree F pyro-ceramic glass and removed the metal mesh.

beautiful, but not as efficient as newer stoves (backboiler)
in a large lounge it doesn't produce as much heat as we would like. We are currently looking to change this stove as we find that others have more modern stoves and use much less logs and warm... [ read more ]
Stove expert replied: Before purchasing a replacement ensure that you get the heating system re-calculated so that you will not be disappointed, this stove may not be large enough for the system it is supplying. If you find that the room in which the boiler is installed does not get hot enough, consider having a radiator in there for back up, have a thermostatic radiator valve on it so that it will only work when required or if the temperature in the room is not high enough. It may be worth looking at the fuel used as they vary greatly and an alternative may be more effective in producing the necessary heat. Is the chimney lined? This can make a vast difference also.

We have had this stove in three different houses and find it to be very comfortable to use and we love the look of it in our current 1877 home.
