Double sided Hunter Herald 8 Stove
We bought the double sided stove for an old cottage we are renovating, thinking it would work great between the sitting and dining rooms. This is a very small area, but this stove just does... [ read more ]
Stove expert replied: This stove should be able to produce a good heat output. Is the flue lined? What size flue is being used and what is the height? Is there a reasonable gap round the stove sides (150mm either side)and top (300mm)? If the stove is in a tight place then the heat will be absorbed by the surrounding material and not radiate freely into the room space. What fuel are you burning? Try smokeless fuel if the stove is a multifuel or if a woodburner only then timber with a moisture content of less than 20%. Is there an air brick in the room? I would recommend getting the installation checked as there may be something that has been missed preventing this stove from producing the heat it should,.

Stove expert replied: Rope seals can be easily re-attached to the stove and the glue for this should be supplied normally by the supplier / Hunter under warranty if a failure occurs so soon after installation.

Stove expert replied: 1. Perhaps you need an anti down draught cowl on the flue or more air in the room to solve this problem as it is not the stove at fault but the flue system / installation. This should be investigated further. 2. A rear flue option should not cause any problem if the flue draw is adequate and you have not exceeded the max length of 150mm, it may not suit your situation but having the option gives more flexibility. 3. Glass can crack at any time and as it had been in tact for a month would not imply a faulty product. 4. Internal components do usually require a knack to remove and re-install, if it is undertaken on a monthly basis (as suggested) you should become more familiar with finding the easiest wasy to undertake this proceedure. 5 and 6. Unsure if you had poor customer service from the company you purchased the stove from or from the Manufacturer. 6. If the air wash is misaligned then this should be covered under warranty and should be taken up with the supplier.
