Review of Country Kiln Aspect stove
You get what you pay for
I've had this stove for nearly 4 year. The glass has never cracked. Burns pretty much every day between September and March, chucks out loads of heat keeps the heating off in our bungalow when all the doors are open. Our living room is 30 feet by 12 and it gets too hot when you have the doors shut. The throat plate was useless postage stamp size, but a trip to the metal man and an hour or so of banging and welding made me one that went all the way across the wood burner stopping the heat going straight up the chimney. The air flow controls are like little buttons and are a pain to do up/undo when hot. This is about the only thing which would stop me buying another one, get one with spinners instead. Took out the grate and inserted another piece of steel on the bottom of the wood burner and burn on the ash. If there is enough ash it can still be glowing mid afternoon the next day. The feet don't quite line up and it did rock a bit so I just put some washers between the feet and burner to even it out, it might be that my hearth is not dead level. Overall with a bit of fiddling it works. The only real downside is the little air control knobs which are a pain but like I have said you get what you pay for.
Stove expert replied: Making alterations to a stove invalidates any warranty but may also affect the way the stove operates, especially altering the throat plate as this controls the flue gases leaving the stove in a timely manner. Not recommended.
