Review of Dovre 250 stove

Great little stove, more powerful than it looks

Ian Chard 16 years ago

Despite its diminutive size, this little stove absolutely kicks out heat. Even with wood that isn't particularly well seasoned, it will quite happy roar away, allowing me to switch off the central heating for the evening. The only slight hitch is that the top vent is quite hard to move and has a small amount of travel between open and closed, making the stove a little difficult to control on windy evenings.
