Review of Lovenholm stove

Lovenholm Multifuel 5kw

Sandra Baxter 15 years ago

We live in an open plan 3 storey Victorian house and our little Lovenholm is the best thing we've done for this house. Its on 24/7 and heats up practically the whole house. 75% of our radiators are down to low and hopefully we will keep fuel costs down to a minimum this winter. Downside is that it needs stoking regularly (every 1.1/2 - 2 hrs) to keep warmth at a constant level in our house. Also ash pan needs emptying more than once a day because of high volume of usage. Ash pan could have been made deeper and bigger. Good combination of wood and brasiers will result in success with burnig overnight. Need to build up volume before closing airflow for the night.
