Review of Tiger Plus stove

Tiger Plus.

Mike Blamires 12 years ago

After a lot of research and a last minute budget restrictions I decided to go for the tiger stove, it was easy enough to install (with a flue liner) and I have not been disappointed at all by it.

It lights well and, using anthracite small nuts it stays in over night with relative ease. After 30+ hours of burning the coals it takes a little TLC to keep it going, I suspect this is like any stove. The glass has stayed clean and the heat output is brilliant. The air control could do with some improvement but so long as you know how to work it does operate fine (make sure you pull it flush to the casing after moving it or it may as well be open). Though I primarily use Anthracite which generates furnace like heat when it's really going, it does burn wood well on it's own despite the multifuel grate.

I'd certainly have one of these again, it does exactly what it should and it does it well.

Stove expert replied: A satisfied stove owner! It is always worth trying a few smokeless fuels as they do vary.
