Review of Little Wenlock stove

well built little stove

Adrian Richards 13 years ago

The built quality of this stove is immediately obvious and the cast iron surround quickly warms and with well seasoned wood gives off more than enough heat to warm our 15'x15' living room. I down sized my stove to the little wenlock but have not lost any heat value but you have to be careful with log sizes as the firebox is fairly small. Overall I am very happy with the stove and have found that to avoid the glass becoming too black its worth keeping the door ajar for about 15-20 minutes before fully closing it. I did a lot of research before buying this stove and think for a 5kw fire it will be hard to beat.
