Review of Dovre 500 stove

Dovre 500

Mike Hardwick 16 years ago

This is our first multi-fuel stove although we use it to burn logs. In short, it has been a delight. Bought to fit into a compact space formed by a corner fire place, it lights easily, burns superbly and looks great with the lattice door option. Once banked up and 'closed down' the fuel will smoulder overnight it and bursts into life once the lower vent is opened in the morning. Once a good bed of embers has been made, it is economic in use, costing around 1.2p per Kw/h. Try achieving that with electricity or gas!
