Review of Esse 100 stove
Esse 100 Multifuel
We chose the Esse 100 partly because of its good looks and partly because of the manufacturer's reputation. Easy availability of spare parts was also a factor. Four months on it's a case of so far so good. \n\nWe've only burned logs up to now and we haven't tried to keep the stove in overnight. Using logs it lights easily and gets up to temperature quickly. It's reasonably controllable although the airwash slider needs careful handling since the tiniest movement can have quite a significant effect - very much a case of getting to know the individual stove. The large glass door is both a pro and a con. When the stove is blazing it looks stunning but burning with the airwash fully open for a sustained period produces a little too much heat for the size of room and is a bit wasteful of fuel. Partly closing it means that the glass does get slightly dirty even though we try only to burn wood with a maximum 18% moisture content. The only other problem we've had so far is that for some odd reason the door hinge pins tend to work loose and a couple of taps with a hammer and a block of wood are necessary to re-seat them.\n\nEsse's website is more gloss than substance and although the support section allegedly includes FAQs we were unable to find them. However an e-mail to their "Ask an expert" address was answered promptly and helpfully.\n\nOverall we're enjoying our Esse 100 and looking forward to a long and happy relationship with it.\n\n
