Review of Dru 44 stove

DRU 44

Keith 15 years ago

The Dru 44 is a nice little stove. I say little, as you can't get that much wood into it, so its never going to have a high heat output, but it will fit nicely into a typical opened up fireplace.\n\nIt's simple to operate and is easy to light. It takes a good hour or two before it gets up to heat, but there's a lot of cast iron to warm up ;)\n\nWith the small size, its no good to burn overnight. Even during the day I find it needs a log or two added every hour.\n\nWould I buy this stove again? I think I'd buy the next size up, nothing wrong with Dru stoves, just would prefer something a little bigger!
