Review of Villager Bayswater stove

Bayswater multi feul stove

Susanna Smith 12 years ago

We have had the Bayswater since april 2012,it is not so good as the villager c as a wood burner. It is great for overnight burning, brilliant to light, clean and easy to get the airwash working. It warms the whole flat beautifully.

There is one fault, it smokes a lot, we cannot rectify this.

Stove expert replied: If the smoke occurrs just when refuelling try opening the door very slowly, check that you have enough air in the room or fit an anti-down draught cowl. Worth investigating further.
