Review of Esse 500 stove

Love My Stove

Mj 13 years ago

This stove took some working out at the beginning (a first time stove user), but now we know how to use it properly and efficiently in our home it works a treat! Amazingly hot, 6 small chopped 6" inch logs is all we need for an evening. Both our neighbours have stoves too, and we all have different ways of making ours work. Its definitely individual use I say, what someone you know does with the stove doesn't necessary mean its going to work for you. I love this stove!! \n\n

Stove expert replied: Every installation is different and therefore the stoves may also behave differently. It may take time to learn how to get the best out of your stove but it is worth it!
