Review of hunter Herald 5 slimline stove

Hunter 5

Skippy 16 years ago

An excellent little stove for wood or coal. The switchable griddle for wood or solid fuel is excellent and its clean burning and very simple and quick to clean. Two doors in a slimline format is great for the smaller fireplace and the wide angle suits low rectangular openings.

Efficient, well build and simple to control with excellent heat output. Very nice design with the beaded windows.

Excellent all rounder.
