Review of Dunsley Highlander 5 stove

I am a hetas registered stove installer and have installed over a 100 of these over the last 20 years. They are a great value British made stove that have very little go wrong with them. A simple well built stove that is easy to use. There is a big problem with many of the reviews - people complaining about not being able to keep the stove in all night. Here is the deal, you are not supposed to. Clean efficient combustion is what we all need and for that you need oxygen. Closing a stove down will ruin your flue and pollute your neighbourhood. Get educated people and choose an installer whom can instruct you on how to use your fire responsibly.
