Review of Klover Smart 80 wood pellet cooker

An update on my ''very pleased'' review

Libby Glazebrook 7 years ago

For the second time the igniter has had to be replaced. Apparently this is normal - they only last a year. At £50 a go plus fitting this is disappointing and should be made clear when buying the cooker. Anyone else found this? Now been told that you can buy a £100 igniter that is more powerful and lasts 4 times as long. We will see....

Stove expert replied: The standard Klover ignition element is designed to ignite 1500 times. This should be giving you 2-3 years of ignitions. If the ignition element is failing before 2-3 years then this needs to be looked into to see how many times a day the Klover is igniting as it may be too often, it is likely that this can be improved for you and I would recommend going back to your supplier to follow this up with the UK distributor.
