Review of Dovre 250 stove

Beautiful and practical

Jane Sircombe 10 years ago

We brought the beautiful Dovre Ivory enamelled stove to replace the huge ugly black stove we inherited with the cottage over 30 years ago, why did we wait so long, it looks so stylish and gives out plenty of heat without roasting everyone ( we had to open the porch door to cool the sitting room down with the old stove which was much too large for our sitting room)

With a much smaller fire box we use very little fuel as the stove burns so efficiently. We would recommend you check the stove KW calculator to see what you really need before buying, something the previous owners of our cottage never did but installed a 9kw+ we now have a stove which at half the output of the old one works really well. Should have done it years ago!
