Review of Stovax Stockton Milner stove

An inset stove that needs short logs

Simon Measures 11 years ago

This is an inset stove which our local fitter recommended as ideal for our fireplace. At first it took some getting used to as I have a regular woodburning stove in our holiday cottage. However, once I realised that firstly it needs shorter logs than the normal 240mm ones and secondly that it likes to start on a bed of ash then it worked a treat. It's easy to light and throws out a lot of heat once it's been going for awhile. I love it. (Be sure to order logs less than 200mm long!)
