Review of Little Wenlock stove

Very good stove

Paul 12 years ago

Overall this is a fantastic little stove and I think great value for money. I've only been running mine for a month now and it does take a little while to get use to. The only downside is the airwash system, I find once the glass has smoked a little even opening up the secondary control all the way makes no difference. I've now found to get it up to running temperature quickly and use a flu pipe thermometer it runs very well at around 250C, with only a little primary and secondary air. When run all day in a small house its very effective at warming the whole place. The firebox size is a little limiting but then I think it produces more than enough heat as it is. Great stove would buy again.
