Review of Lovenholm stove

Great now it draws!

Right, I have read on here of a few people having these stoves and a lack of flames or having to leave door open. This was our experience too. When it was installed, it was the same, no flame etc, so the fitters came out several times, to no avail. This was rectified ourselves. There is a small air intake vent covered by a small rotating cover on the back of the stove. It came closed, and this was overlooked every time. Open the vent on the back, a bit awkward if stove is fitted or close to back wall, but with a long metal device, such as a screw driver should be able to force it open. It is now a great stove, no more leaving door open etc. No fuel retaining bars, and hard to get spare parts for.
