    I''ve had this stove for 20 years and it is still performing well. This season''s fires have been as good as ever. It can be a bit sensitive in terms of setting the air-vents - a roaring fire... []

    Stig Sund 2 years ago

    I have a Dovre 2000 with solid doors. It gives good heating and is easy to use. But it is boring with the solid doors. Can they be exchenged with glass doors?

    This stove was bought to use open. It's just great that way - gives an estimated 12kW output burning 4kg soft dry wood per hour with the doors open. Closed - waste of time! Still burns up to... []

  • Curates Egg

    DaveN 5 years ago

    Installed 8 years ago and reasonably satisfied. Main problem is that it only burns well over the riddling frame and leaves unburnt wood/fuel on either side. Never tried to keep in overnight... []

    Stove expert replied: Using a stove with the doors open does affect the efficiency of the stove, I use a poker to move the unburnt fuel to the middle, worth a try perhaps!!

  • Good alternative to an open fire.

    Les Briggs 5 years ago

    As with all open fires there is always a bit of mess involved but with the doors shut it is easy to do a quick clean up. We opted for the solid doors but it results in the fire being used open... []

  • Dovre 2000

    Kevin Twelvetrees 6 years ago

    The trouble with reviews,compared to what!.Most wood stoves are much better than an open fire or a missed calculatted inglenook.That means all owners will review with a high score.The Dovre... []

    Stove expert replied: this stove is for those who want an open fire but a bit more efficiency. As the reviewer says it is not as efficient as some freestanding stoves but that is not its function. The reviewer asks quite right what one compares a stove to? In this case I would suggest one would compare the stove to other inglenook stoves. There is in fact a baffle that comes with the stove but to operate you have to open the door so most people do not fit it! Here again I think perhaps it is the salesperson who let the consumer down - decent advice at the start might have stopped false expectations from this stove?

  • Lovely to see those flickering flames!

    Siobhán Rogers 9 years ago

    We absolutely love our Dovre with its "billy goats gruff" scene on the back plate. Fantastic to have it wide open and appreciate it like a roaring fire; or to close it up so it burns more efficiently... []
