Review of Lovenholm stove

Superb stove

G P Hill 13 years ago

I recently had a single door Lovenholme stove fitted, its excellent quality and real value for money. Now then, bearing in mind it is still summer and I don't burn logs, just smokeless fuel (ovals etc), I am extremely satisfied with its performance, I have had no problem with any ticking noise and when it is banked up and put on slow burn, the stove burns overnight no problem, get up, put it on full burn and re-fuel, make a cup of tea and away it goes. The door handle gets red hot, so it would be much better with a cool touch handle, the airwash system works ok (not burning logs remember), as I say it is still summer, so I am hoping it performs the same in the depths of winter.\n\n

Stove expert replied: Nice feedback, hopefully when the weather changes you will get the extra heat that is required and you will not have become too used to warmth during summer burning.
