Review of Contura 51L stove

Contura 51l

I have had this stove for 5 years now and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it to anybody looking for a wood burner. The airwash is exceptional, I have never had to give the glass anything more than a cursory wipe to keep it clean. It is easy to light and the air control works very well and is very responsive. The build quality is excellent, I genuinely cannot find a single fault with this stove,
