Review of Country Kiln Inglewood stove

Countrykiln Inglewood Multifuel Stove

Mike Davies 11 years ago

Bought this stove four or so years ago. For the price I'm extremely pleased with its performance. I'm on to my second set of new "innards" for it but it's a cheap option to having to spend five times the amount on a more expensive stove. You only need the grate if you are using coal as logs prefer to be burnt on the floor of the stove and the thing likes to eat throat plates although I just remove it after it has buckled with no perceived ill effects. The innards seem to protect the structure of the stove very well as after a lot of use over four or five winters the box is still smoke tight. You can spend thousands on a stove but this little guy does the job at a fraction of the cost with good results over an extended period of time.

Stove expert replied: The baffle is there for a reason and should be replaced, you may damage the top of the stove if you use it without one!!If you are using household coal this may be leading to the baffle failures as this fuel burns with a much higher flame than smokeless fuels.
