Review of Tiger Plus stove

Tiger stove cheap, but you pay for what you get!

I am very disappointed with the size of the firebox. By the time you fit the thick fire bricks the area has no depth to it. I can't load enough flue to keep the fire in overnight using soft wood and if I use hardwood logs, I can't keep the fire going. I think this is mainly due to the multifuel grate which I am considering taking out even though it is not designed for this to happen. Build quality is OK generally apart from one of the boss's inside the stove which the grate is supposed to sit on, which is at least 3/4" out of position which means the grate is hung in mid air at that corner. I will have to weld something onto the grate to rectify this error.
