Review of Dru 44 stove
Warm and Toasty
Stove installed with an insulated liner. Lights very easily and once the cast iron warms up it produces lots of heat. Also built a convection box around the stove using Skamolex, which can be a pain to work with as its very soft, but does throw heat from the stove into the room. Perhaps a bit over the top but it can only help the efficiency. The fire box is not large but ideal for a medium sized room. Burning overnight is not really possible with wood. I've not tried coal yet. Cool touch removable handle is a great idea and well finished in stainless steel. With the handle removed accidental opening of the door is not possible - a good safety feature. Wood consumption is around two logs each 1 1/2 hours for a good output and with dry wood the glass does stay clean. Once burning hot and limiting the air wash to around half way, nice lazt flames are produced. Recommend a thermometer for the flue to prevent overheating of the liner. All in all, an excellent investment - roll on winter. Highlands of Scotland - I laugh in your general direction!.
