Review of Saey Scope stove

Handsome beast

Kate Standen 8 years ago

We love our SAEY Scope wood burner and chose it first of all because of its chunky good looks. At a time when the fashion was for tall slim cylindrical wood burners, we wanted something more landscape in form for our living room in a big wide barn conversion. The chunkiness is not just in the looks though. It''s really solid and robust and the quality of the casting is evident. The side door is fantastic for getting in larger logs.
