Review of Villager B series stove

Beware remote control!!

Keith Hargreaves 10 years ago

Our third Villager model in three different locations. This time we went for remote control which has been most disappointing. Basically there are too many safety devices built-in so the stove keeps failing. It's now last chance; one further failure and it's OUT.
