  • Coalbrookdale Much Wenlock

    Mike Ward 6 months ago

    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!

  • CoalBrookedale Much Wenlock with boilier Superb!!!!

    Rob Turner 6 years ago

    I have had mine for 30+ years and it's been, and continues to be superb and brilliant.I have replaced the odd bar due to the heat of coal and logs making them bend and have had it so hot some
    of the pipe solder started to soften!!!!I think it is time to replace the brick liners in it now as the heat is starting to leak out.May it continue to be manufactured the way it always has done!!!! Top Marks 100%!!!!

    Stove expert replied: Great comments and a really long time of usage from this product has been achieved.

  • The only choice

    Jayne Fair 9 years ago

    I am now on my third Much Wenlock (3 houses). I have also got one Swedish stove. This does not come close to being as good as the Coalbrookdale, although it probably cost as much.I am now building
    a house and the Coalbrookdale is my stove of choice.

    Stove expert replied: Great comments and repeated purchases speak for themselves.

    Keeps our 3 bedroom cottage warm and toasty all winter. Runs 4 rads plus hot water. Use anthracite - costs about £100 per month to run. We keep it alight 24/7 for about 6 months a year.
    Perfect.
