Very poor heat output - very disappointed
Had this stove just over a year. I was assured by the company we bought it from that it would more than heat our living room 23' x13' when burning at capacity and we wouldn't need our radiatorsStove expert replied: The size of stove purchased may be small for the area that you are wishing to heat as if poorly insulated I have calculated that this space will require 7.8kW basing the height of the room on 9ft. The stove purchased has a maximum output of 6kW with the nominal (average) being 4kW. Using smokeless fuel on it will give you the best heat output as it is a more even heat than wood which varies during the burning period on the amount of heat produced.

Noisy click sound as metal expands and contracts can irritate -heat output not as great as some other models but an OK stove I only burn wood, so if you burn other solid fuels you may haveStove expert replied: If this is a new installation I would go back to supplier about the noise as there may be a way to overcome this!!

Parkray consort slimline 5
We have had the stove now for 3 weeks. We love the detail of the stove as we spent a long time researching for it. The last couple of days the stove flu pipe coming from the stove has started to make some loud annoying cracking sounds. I do know that metal expands and retracts but is this normal ? We are just burning wood at present and doing whatever the instructions say. The noise is so loud at times it puts you off watching TV.Stove expert replied: I would suggest getting the installer back as this does seem strange, it is not normal for the flue to make a noise.

Good stove but not as hot as I would have thought.
After looking at lots of reviews and trawling what seemed like the whole of the internet (this site is the best by far for real reviews) I decided on a Parkray burner with the help of a cheap deal on the internet. I found the stove really easy to light, simple to clean and looks really nice while burning, the only issue I had is it didn't heat the room as much as I thought. After reading reviews people would say it would heat up my living room and the heat would/could spread through by 2 bedroom bungalow. Unfortunately after 3 weeks of burning I found out that it could only get my sitting room(20 by 13FT) up to about 17/18 degrees, if I had it stoked up all day with the door shut then around the 20 mark, with the sitting room door open it would struggle to warm the room never mind the house. I thought it was something I was doing or the it wasn't fitted correctly so called out my HETAS fitter who confirmed everything was correct with the fitting and the wood I was burning was well seasoned. Everything else I loved about the stove apart from the heating issue, next time around I would definitely go for the higher output.Stove expert replied: A larger stove would when ticking over cope with the room size whereas this stove on max should cope with the space. Perhaps changing fuel type would give you a better heat output.
