Review of Hunter Herald 8 stove

Fabulous Fire

Linda Hughes 10 years ago

I bought my Hunter Herald 8 3 years ago and it was the best money I ever spent as it heats my through lounge 13' x 28' plus my conservatory 9' x11' we use smokeless coal and logs, yes, it does use fuel but if the vents are restricted it will burn slower and give off even more heat hardly need the central heating and as our flue goes up through our bedroom our wardrobes are lovely and warm also. Gone are our days sitting huddled over a gas flame with what little heat going up the chimney. We live in a 60's semi and our Hunter 8 sits proudly in an Inglenook built by our Heating Engineer.
