Review of The Salisbury

Adequate stove .

Tricia Cox 3 months ago

After searching for a new stove just over a year ago, ours was 7 years old and brilliant! Someone said that newer stoves are more efficient. After advice I chose Salisbury 5, as others have said, the handle has come off a few times,...poor mechanism, it''s so stiff it takes ages to fasten.

It''s also temperamental, any damp weather it takes ages to light and keep alight. Once it''s got going it''s fine, too much hard work...quality not good compared with our old stove!
