Review of Hunter Hawk stove

Awful non practical design!

Private Private 7 years ago

I have used this for nearly a year now and cant wait to get rid of it. The main problem is that there is no gap between the ash shelf and the door. Every time you open the door, solid fuel and ash falls out of the fire onto the shelf which then stops the door from closing! So you end up with ash everywhere. Its a real shame, because the build quality would be quite good otherwise, but that doesn't help if you dread opening the door every time.

Stove expert replied: Have you tried to push the fuel to the back of the firebox and not putting so much on at any one time. Smaller logs are also important in situations where ash falling when opening the door is reported.
