Review of Heta Inspire 45 stove

Good with wood, hopeless with coal

Luke Anderson 3 months ago

I was assured by the retailer that I bought my Heta Inspire 45 from that it was a multifuel stove.

However the design of the grate is wholly unsuitable for burning smokeless fuel. The airflow through the bottom is terrible. Cleaning the ash (and you get a LOT with smokeless fuel) is an absolute pain in the neck.

That being said, if you intend to burn only wood, you''ll be fine.

I think you can get better stoves for less money. The problem will be finding someone to fit it. Most stove installers seem not to want to fit stoves that have been bought from an online retailer and will only supply their own, or they will work for a supplier and fit stoves bought from those suppliers. Hence why I ended up with a Heta Inspire 45.
