• Good stove . Slightly flawed

  CHRIS Gardner 9 years ago

  Owned this for about 3 years and love it. . Super easy to light. Eats wood very fast. Not a hope to keep it in overnight. Ours had NO rope in the doors. I have not fitted any - perhaps I should
  ?. Never had the door soot up. I think the air through the large grate at the boiler bottom is to large. I have reduced ours by half. Still the wood burns away fast. Ovoids ( coal ) burn ok and last longer and will stay in overnight. Cooking can be done but not easily as the fire needs to be kept low. My main gripe is the fast burning of the wood -- any one any idea's. I do love this stove and rate it a good buy. Our model will not supply radiators but is the same as the above

  Stove expert replied: If there is supposed to be rope seals on the door as per other stoves then adding this should help with the amount of air being drawn into the stove and give greater control (using less fuel for same heat!). Check if there should be some before adding though.

• Prity pretty good

  Berat 10 years ago

  I am using the stove connected to 10radiators+ 2 towel heater. When guest rooms closed (2 radiators) we use almost 2 tons of wood in a month. Though the house is almost 200 m2 it is always
  22+ C warm. Living room ceiling is 5 m high and full window with no curtains, by the way. Connected to a boiler we also have hot water 24 hrs. In case of an energy cut we also put a tiny electric generator which runs manually. We do not refill the stove overnight but the heat is ok (17-18C) in the early morning. I would recommend it to every one.

• good stove .just very poor air control

  Chris Marland 10 years ago

  Basically a good stove although very cheaply made. not enough air control . ie no airwash control whatever. the seals around the fire door were pressed in to far so didn't seal.No seal at all
  on the ashpan so the fire tended to run away with itself. A few quid later and a bit of ingenuity and I am almost there. the oven works a treat but until its you controlling the fire and not the other way round it tends to get too hot.

• superb....

  Phil Baptiste 10 years ago

  third winter with this stove, on a live aboard barge...we don't run water from it but we do cook in the oven and top...its that quick to light and warm that I still haven't connected the central
  heating up, its just got one of those weird fans to push the air around...as for cooking in the oven, its one to watch but the results are fantastic

  Stove expert replied: Is this a boiler stove but just not connected to the system? No boiler stove should be run without it being fully commissioned as damage to the boiler may occur.

• I love this stove!

  Roisin Barry 12 years ago

  I love this stove. I replaced a smaller stove with this model, now for my wood and turf fire I have a warm room, 3 hot double radiators, a cooked dinner and a tank of hot water. I cooked a roast
  of beef in it recently and the meat was a soft as butter. Only one issue you need to raise the roasting pan or better yet cover the roasting pan with a non-stick baking sheet as the meat and potatoes will stick to roasting dish. Its perfect for homes with limited space.

  I bought this stove to replace a ruined Rayburn in a tiny terraced cottage. The arrangement of oven over firebox, with the consequent reduced "footprint" size-plus the 18kW boiler, made the
  choice simple as I am unaware of any other stove that matches these parameters - I am curious as to what "similar" stove Jennifer is referring to. As with any woodstove, it takes a while to learn how to set the very basic controls, but I now leave mine burning overnight (6-8 hours), and at worst, there is a glowing core waiting in the morning which can swiftly be revived simply by opening the stove up and tossing some fresh fuel on it. The boiler output is massive - the three radiators that the Rayburn struggled to keep lukewarm are to hot to touch most of the time, and there's more than enough piping hot water day and night - the Rayburn boiler needed daily boosts from an electric immersion heater. The oven takes some getting used to, and it's no replacement for a Rayburn oven- with no mass to speak of, and no insulation, the temperature can be hard to control. But it keeps my stockpot bubbling week by week, and when my gas cooker went down, I was able to produce a pot-roast, though I did have to pay attention. All this for one pick up load a month of firewood.

  Stove expert replied: All stoves take time to learn how to operate effectively, persevere and you will get more out of what seems to be an already well used appliance.

  Had my Prity oven stove a year now , not too much too write home about lets say functional and adequate for the " price" but you cannot compare to the more expensive simular type of stove a
  friend of mine has got, the prity FG is not in that league, poor control in the oven and you have to check every 10 mins or so, fire is difficult to control and yes we do have door seals any way!,we would say better for a second home holiday where you might not have to use every day!

• Impartial Review - Prity FG W15

  John G 14 years ago

  The stove works well on all counts. It lights very easily, burns wood, coal, or smokeless, and I find it very controllable, once you get used to it - from 'tickover' to almost furnace. Heats
  a 200lit tank of water from cold in about 30 mins, and runs my eight downstairs radiators comfortably and economically. We've not had it burn overnight as yet, but can leave for 5 to 6 hours while we're out with both controls turned down to nil, and the stove is still alight when we return so I'm optimistic that it will burn overnight if 'banked up.' I would have no hesitation in recommending the stove - it's no design masterpiece, but it does the job pretty well (and cooks bread as well!)
