Review of Parkray Aspect 4 stove
Growing Concerns
We had a double sided aspect 4 installed in March but obviously due to the lovely long warm summer we had have only just started using the stove over the last 5/6 weeks. The stove is absolutely gorgeous and we are totally in love with it cosmetically. But whilst it heats the whole downstairs of the house wonderfully (and as the chimney breast runs through the middle of the house it actually heats the upstairs landing as well which is an added bonus) we have noticed that the paint is already coming off in a few places and a few days ago the stove was leaking smoke from the top corner of one of the doors. We haven''t used it since whilst we wait for the company who installed it to check it over. But was wondering if anyone else has had similar problems? Thanks
Stove expert replied: Was this smoke only coming out when first lighting the unit, if so I would suggest leaving the door slightly ajar until the chimney has warmed and this should help to lift the gases out of the firebox more effectively. If this occurred, when you had an established fire, then a down draught may be the cause and should be investigated fully. Have you an airbrick in the room? Have you an anti down draught cowl fitted? Is the flue system lined? What height is the flue system? Is the property surrounded by trees or other buildings? Your installer should be able to assist you further with this by undertaking a flue draw test to ascertain if the draw matches what is recommended by the manufacturer.
