Esse 500 Air wash adjustments !
Hi started reading reviews unfortunately after buying a Esse 500. This was because it was hard to control and was like a mini furnace.I read about one owner partially blocking their air washStove expert replied: A flue damper may well have done the same job and the airwash will have been made in the way that Esse require it so altering quite possibly invalidates your warranty.

Great

Esse 500
I have had experience of a lot of stoves, the Esse 500 gives off plenty of heat but I find the riddle grate system with handle a very poor design.

Different fuels may burn to a finer ash and therefore would not get caught in the grate, they do vary greatly so trying more than one fuel is a good policy to adopt until you find the one that suits your stove best.

The instruction leaflet doesn't explain how you can tell if the air wash system is open or closedStove expert replied: Air wash controls are normally open when slid to the right and closed when to the left, you should be able to see the change when the stove is lit if you can't see anything from the outside of the stove.

Esse 500
We opted for this model because we wanted a small stove, but big enough to take normal sized logs. It creates plenty of heat, and the central main vent lets you generate a blast furnace effect -
