Review of Esse 100 stove
Esse 100 review
I've had the Esse in our kitchen for 2 years now. Like most stoves it takes a while to get the ideal settings sorted (air wash openings, type of fuel etc.) but after a bit of trial and error it's working well. I start off with dry wood and get the stove nice and hot and then switch to coal. Turn it right down overnight and it normally restarts in the morning. If you use coal regularly and want the stove on 24/7, the ash tray will need emptying every day. Don't fiddle around with the ash tray hook - just get yourself a good heat resistant glove. I went for the Esse as it has a good size firebox so no need for too much chopping of wood to fit! Handle spring will need oiling if in constant use. All round a pretty good product.
