Review of Hunter Hawk stove

Hunter Hawk

Peter 15 years ago

If likened to a car the Hunter Hawk would be a Lada.

It does the job (just) and is nothing special but will get you there. After 5 years it looks tired and even after new firebricks and an overhaul it still does not quite cut the mustard.

Now if you want a cheap but very average small stove go for the Hawk but you may well find that you change to something that gives a better performance after only a few seasons.
