Review of Stovax Stockton 7 Inset Convector stove

Poor output very disappointed

This stove is pathetic. I have done an experiment with a thermometer. Temperature of (what is supposed to be a small) room rose from 14C to 17.5C after 4 hours of vigorous burning. Like other posts regarding this model, the stove/wood burns vigorously but poor heating of the room. Chimney breast was filled with vermiculite at the time of installation. It appears that if you buy and install this stove you can look forward to years of (re)insulation and a nice cold room.
