Review of Glaisdale stove

Dangerous stove door

Roger Bloggs 4 years ago

I have just had a Glaisdale stove installed and, like others who have reviewed this stove, I too find the pin holding the door to the stove body continuing to work its way out. I fear that if I or someone else doesn't notice it when refuelling the stove, a dangerous situation will occur with red hot embers falling out and causing substantial damage. Obviously, there is something wrong with the door mechanism. In light of the reviews, I am surprised that the manufacturer hasn't already sorted it out, which could be easily done by extending the length of the pin and putting a locknut on the end.
