Firstly the stove itself looks fantastic.

It lights easily and produces great heat from the hardwood logs I''ve used so far,not tried smokeless coal yet and the primary and secondary controls are very responsive .

My only gripe is I find it fiddly to clean out the ashes with the griddle system it uses.

Used a Morso squirrel and also a Clearview pioneer,both of which are far easier to keep clean and tidy.

All in all,it is a fab stove but there may be as good alternatives or better for the hefty price tag.
