Tiger Gallery Defra Approved Stove

I bought this stove as I was on a budget and it seemed to have some good reviews. I have to say I absolutely love it!! I ripped out an old gas fire as I have always dreamed of having a stove... it's the best thing I have done!

I will mention that I had a teething problem with the hinge on the door. The bolt worked its way out and the door was left hanging! fortunately this seems to be a one-off and i haven't heard of it happening to anyone else. Spare parts are easy to come by on-line so its easy to maintain.

Its great if you can manage to obtain free wood too because I only have a little house and it heats it up in no time! I find it really easy to operate and have finally mastered the art of creating a fire without the use of firelighters :)
