Review of Stovax Riva 55 stove

Riva 55

Absolute disaster! Took out a Mulberry stove and replaced it with stovax, chimney relined at great expense. Burns a huge amount of wood but doesn’t throw out any heat into room, have to sit on hearth to keep warm. Also burning coal. Max room temp is around 12 degrees. I have asked fitters to remove it and replace it with my old stove!
