Review of Dunsley Highlander 5 stove
Highlander 5 multi fuel
This is a cracking little stove. It is easily lighted with paper and sticks and I burn mainly mixed ovoids (smokeless fuel). Once it is up to temperature I shut it down completely and use it on tick over all the time. A small shovel of fuel lasts 4-5 hours and the heat output is such that we never close the room doors downstairs and on many occasions open the stairs door to let the heat go upstairs. The only drawback with using the stove like this is the glass is constantly black. Using this fuel the stove easily stops in overnight and most of the next day, the residual heat the next morning is just as warm as the night before. Had it 2 years and not had to replace anything and last winter never switched on the central heating once. Highly satisfied with heat output and running cost.
Stove expert replied: This stove should be given short periods of fast burn at least twice a day for 15 - 20 mins. Using it in the shut down position for prolonged periods can lead to chimney problems.
