Review of Stovax Riva 55 stove

My Riva 55 stove

Very pleased with the fire overall. The balance between the main air supply and airwash takes some getting used to although I guess this is down to the flue configuration. We had some blackening of the glass until we mastered the air mix etc. We have one air vent fitted to the hallway which provides a very good output without effecting the main stove output
