Review of Morso Dove stove

A Beautiful Stove

Sam Buck 15 years ago

I did a lot of research into buying this stove. I had a squirrel before but extended the house and needed the heating and hot water to work off the stove. After consulting a specialist and many friends I decided to take the plunge and spend a bit more money on buying the Dove (my only concern was that it might be too big, but I was told that it's better to buy one that's too big than too little, and he was completely right!). Overall I'm massively happy, it's a beautiful stove. If I've got one piece of advice to give to anyone it's to buy a clip-in back boiler and not a factory fitted one, as it makes a massive difference to the heat output of the stove.
