Review of Coalbrookdale Much Wenlock stove
Coalbrookdale Much Wenlock
Our was purchased new in 1985 and is used as our main form of heating
It runs 7 radiators and plenty of hot water to this day in 2026! We burn hardwoods from fallen trees in local woodlands, beech mostly and coal and smokeless in really cold weather. Our house an old 19th century croft house at 1000ft in the foothills of the Cairngorms in Aberdeenshire. So the stove battles extreme weather and is continually lit day and night for around 5 months a year. The cast iron is all good and the only modification is that we have used a single cast firebar instead of the expensive and short lived riddle bars for the past 30 years or so. The single fire bar lasts 3 years and costs only £40. A superbly well designed amd made stove that is not decorative but incredibly effective and robust. Our children have purchased more modern stoves but frankly they dont come close to this bit of kit!
