Review of Little Wenlock stove

not what expected

sorry to burst the bubble of good reviews but i am a bit disappointed in this stove i have wood burning se model\nit is my first ever stove i suppose it is like any other stove that it eats the logs like an elephant eats buns, if i did not have a free supply of logs, i think it would not be any cheaper to run than any other heating sources going by the price to buy kindling and logs and optional fire lighters. it takes at least an hour and half to really heat the 8x4 room there is no chance of it burning all night as u have to constantly fill it up i probably should have bought the multi fuel version as this model u cannot get a kit to upgrade to multi fuel\n\n

Stove expert replied: it may be that the draw from the chimney is excessive meaning that the stove would give out less heat and eat more fuel. A damper or draught stabiliser might help.
