Review of Town and Country Rosedale stove

Amazing stove that heats my whole house

Kiel Smith 11 years ago

Had the Rosedale log store installed last month in my new property with an external twin wall flue system. Its not the biggest detached house in the world but I have an open plan staircase off the living room and open plan kitchen diner off it too, so my plan was to help heat the whole house. This plan is working so far! I have hardly had my heating on at all since I moved in as the stove has heated the house. Easy to light and amazingly controlable. Put a bit of smokeless coal on it and it will stay in overnight. Its not one of the cheapest stoves on the market, but compared to the Clearview it is better value for money. I have to confess I do sell stoves for a living, so I like to think I know what I am talking about, but its one thing selling a cast iron box and commenting on it, and another actually have one in your home keeping you warm! I had the choice of many stoves to have installed but I'm glad I went for the Rosedale!

Stove expert replied: Good review as having sold stoves knowledge of build quality is important and the heat that this stove is producing sounds wonderful.
