Review of Dowling Hybrid stove

Update on my Dowling Hybrid 8

Keith Taylor 7 years ago

I have owned my Dowling Hybrid 8 now for nearly 7 years and it still looks like new. It gets some hammering in the winter months, burning all types of fuel and really pumps the heat out. It is a quality piece of kit hand made in their workshops

. The quality of the workmanship is in the finish of the stove and a credit to the company.

It really is a triumph of design and functionality because it does exactly what it is there for and there is very little to go wrong.Through my own clumsiness I broke the glass but I soon had a replacement in.

If you are looking for a multi fuel stove that is a cut above the rest then you won''t go far wrong with a Dowling.
