Review of Jotul F 100

Great Stove

Trev 14 years ago

This is my first wood burning stove and it is superb. Living in a smoke control area i needed a Defra approved stove, so bought the multi fuel kit to go with the fire, although i read a review someone wrote saying the wood only stove worked better than the multi fuel version i have no issues it's simplicity itself to light this fire and although i only burn wood it is nice to know i could if I wanted burn coal as well.

Don't expect this stove to burn over night it won't, most modern wood burning stoves are not designed to do that any way with there permanently open air supplies.

If you are undecided on a wood burner and are considering this stove believe me you will not be disappointed with the F100.
