• Scan Anderson - fantastic stove

  Diana Carswell 7 months ago

  We've had our stove for around 10 years and couldn't be happier with it. It does click a bit when first lit but this stops when up to temperature. Ours is installed in the living room of a 2010... [ read more ]

  Stove expert replied: The ash compartment should not be allowed to build up so that it touches the underside of the grate as it restricts the airflow and can shorten the grates life. Ideally it should be cleared out daily.

• Shame about the glass Scan 66

  Matthew Watt 7 months ago

  Great stove looks like a egg , We have it wall mounted looks great . The only problem is the glass log guard . It is quite loose nothing a couple of clips would not fix . it has almost fallen out twice . but finally today it fell and smashed . OK I thought I will order a new one £117.18 very high price , before someone says it is special , I had the same glass cut and delivered from an online supplier for £25.00... [ read more ]

  Ruairi Shell one year ago

  just self installed this stove, on 2nd firing I got the temp right up. I came down this morning to find a 5mm chip out of the door frame, the iron had popped out. I mailed them and waiting on... [ read more ]

  Stove expert replied: I am not sure by "got the temp right up" do you know what temperature you got the stove to? I would advise getting a thermometer so that you do not over fire the stove as this can lead to damage. I would also wait and see what the supplier / manufacturer suggests as the stove is still under warranty.

• Ridiculously noisy stove

  Marc Rosenberg 2 years ago

  The Scan Andersen 4-5 has proved to be an easy-to-light, controllable stove that pumps out a massive amount of heat for its size. But if you're a fan of the quiet life, steer clear of this stove... [ read more ]

  Stove expert replied: Ash should not be left to mount up in an ash pan as this can lead to a shortening of the grates life, a clear space below the grate is recommended and should be maintained. Really disappointing that this stove is making a noise that is causing you distress and that you have been unable to get any assistance as this does mar the whole stove experience somewhat. Certain aspects still scoring well.

  We have replaced our Victorian fireplace with a Scan Anderson 4-5. The stove is very attractive and looks good in our new fireplace opening, Standing on a dark grey hearth. Due to the hot weather... [ read more ]

  Stove expert replied: Please refer to page 35 of your manual that was supplied with your stove, it gives the permitted clearances. Please add to your review when you are using the stove fully so that accurate comments on build quality, efficiency, controlability etc can be updated.

• Stove glass

  Laurence McNally 4 years ago

  The stove itself is great ; effficient and easy to operate.However I am now up to my third replacement glass in six years. The problem occurs when using solid , smokeless fuel ( Homefire)... [ read more ]

  Stove expert replied: If the spiders web appearance gradually creeps over the glass then this is down to the stove not being operated at a fast enough rate of burn, not enough air is passing through it to remove the gases produced and so they stay in the firebox and cause a chemical reaction that shows on the glass. Short periods of fast burn will prevent this. The other stove may have a better flue draw hence it has not had the same fault develop. Homefire Ovals are fine for closed appliances but other Homefire fuels are not suited so do check that the one you are using is correct.

• Scan Anderson still going strong 12 years later.

  4 years ago

  This is a great stove we also have a Jotol F370 which is not as efficient nor does it give out as much heat. Our Scan is brill, minimal ash, very controllable and a good looker.

• Air wash problems.

  David Matthews 5 years ago

  We had big problems initially after the totally useless fitter sent by the shop completely messed up the instillation . That is now sorted, but the airwash still evades us. Any advise would... [ read more ]

  Stove expert replied: There are three air controls on the stove one at the top (airwash)and one at the bottom of the stove and the third is a circular dial on the door. Top vent open fully until fire is established and then regulate rate of burn as required. Circular one open on lighting and then when fire established this should be closed. The bottom one should be closed on lighting and once fire established this should be half open.
