Review of Evergreen ST1018 stove

Outstanding Little Stove

Roger Ganner 15 years ago

We bought this stove for our previous house more as an aesthetically pleasing item but did not install it and then moved to a house with no central heating. At once we installed it and it served us really well to heat the house through two pretty bleak winters. Admittedly, the fire had to be on most of the time to keep the house warm but it belted out the heat to heat a semi detached 3 bedroom house with no problem. The only minor comment is that two of the internal side screen cast iron sheets warped with the intense heat and one snapped. Having said that it is a great fire. We have only used logs and it is surprising how it takes some good sized logs. Easy to clean and empty out.
