Review of Stovax Stockton 5 stove
door handle
Fire great but the handle has become increasingly stiff making it almost impossible for my partner to operate(female). I have tried various ways to ease it but the problem always returns. Please can you HELP!!!!
Stove expert replied: If using the stove on a simmering mode for long periods debris can form on the mechanism which causes it to become difficult to operate. Insure that dry seasoned wood only is used and make sure that a short period of fast burn (15 - 20 mins) twice a day is carried out (open all vents and let the stove roar but do time to prevent damage through over-firing. If using smokeless fuel I would suggest doing once a day to clear debris in flue. If possible remove the handle and thoroughly clean all parts before putting back, you can use WD40 or a special lubricating spray (when stove not lit) to keep it moving freely.
