Dowling Sumo stove
The Dowling Sumo stove is available in a lot of different options.
I have taken the measurements from the smaller 5kw output model but you can get much bigger output models -
also available with back boilers.
The appearance is sturdy and functional with plain lines..

Stove expert replied: It is not advisable to leave ash to build up in an ashpan as it can lead to shortening of the grate system otherwise a great review.

Stove expert replied: This stove user may not have a heat leak device in their installation. A heat leak device gives you a way of getting rid of excess heat in the case of a power cut or pump failure. Often you have a dedicated heat leak radiator, or you may have a coil in the boiler which is flushed through with mains cold water in the event of overheating (although this option is not available for this particular stove). Always get a boiler stove system designed and installed by an expert.
