Review of Lovenholm stove

Nice Little Burner

Mr Warm 16 years ago

An efficient little stove, good value, quick and easy to light, burns and draws well.

\n

\nThe only negative points are:

\n

\ni) the top airwash lever is a bit hit and miss - it's best to listen for the air flow stopping when closing the lever to be sure the airwash vent is closed

\n

\nii) you have to remove the front "Wood Plate" to get to the ashpan, so trying to empty the ashpan when the stove is burning is a little tricky - and the ashpan needs emptying daily. This may not be such a problem with the single door model, but the 2 door model needs the front plate in place because the door latch locates in a slot in the plate.
