Review of Hunter Herald 8 stove

Assistance on grate installation

Robert Croft 9 months ago

So far ive found the stove to be very hit and miss with temperature control but i guess a lot comes down to trial and error. Is there any information online on the grate installation. I have a hunter herald 8 double sided and im not convinced the grate is installed correctly. even when in the ''closed'' position there are still significant gaps for air to come up and ash to drop through, unsure if its just poor manufacturing or if these are installed incorrectly.
