Review of Little Thurlow stove

Little stove but a big performer

Malcolm Cameron 14 years ago

This cold winter we finally decided to replace the open fire in our cottage with a wood burner. After reading many reviews and online advice, we decided on the Little Thurlow.

For a relatively small unit, it has one of the biggest firebox's in it's class, and the big door and glass provide excellent access, as well as superb visibility and heat transfer. The controls allow you to set the burn anywhere from very slow (have had it still glowing next morning) through to 'blast furnace'. Very easy to light, and get fired up. Easy to clean, Easy to look at, multi-fuel, well designed and very well built. The airlow and turbo burn maximise burn and glass clearing.

I've always thought the the best products are an even balance of great form and optimum function - and this machine fits that bill. We've had it going pretty well non-stop for 2 months now, and are very, very happy with it. If you're looking for a small unit with big performance, this is the one.

Thanks to Town and Country, and thanks to the 'Whatstove' website for all the advice that helped our decision to purchase.
