Review of Dunsley Highlander 5 stove

Good solid reliable stove

Roger Callow 3 years ago

We installed our stove over 18 years ago and have never regretted our choice of stove.

We would leave to door to the sitting room open and th heat would permeate through the whole house, so much so that the central heating would shut down.

The only repairs needed were two sets of fire bars and a piece of "glass" for the door.

It would slumber for 12 to 15 hours and during really cold spells it would be kept lit continuously for 3 to 4 weeks.

Having just moved to a new build property which has oil fired central heating and is extremely well insulated, I am seriously considering installing a Highwayman 7 to be our main source of heating due to the massive increase in oil costs which hasn''t happened with solid fuel.
