Town and Country Runswick stove

The Town and Country Runswick stove is a small inset stove that has been designed to fit into an existing fireplace which already has a fireback or boiler. Due to it's shallow depth the fireback or boiler do not need to be removed, so cutting down on the amount of alterations needed to the fireplace setting when installing the stove.

    Stove expert replied: Clear the ashpan more often to maintain the grate longevity. Interesting that you are finding the glass worse when using smokeless fuel!!

    Get it professionally installed by a Hetas registered company - you are f***** if your house burns down as a result of using the fire and you cannot produce a certificate for insurance purposes... []

    Stove expert replied: Beware of fast burning for longer than 20 minutes as this may expose the stove to higher than normal working temperatures and can lead to distortion of the body. Short periods 15 - 20 mins max twice a day is usual recommendation.
