Review of Villager Chelsea Solo

Villager Chelsea Duo

Kay 12 years ago

Basic, cheap and easy to light, took about twenty fires to get rid of the smell, I don't think I was burning it hard enough. The handle comes loose often and therefore the seals become loose, so have to keep an eye on that. Build and quality control is a bit random, I also had to return one as it was partly rusty, the seals had come off. I love the simple design, lovely view of the flames. The riddle great is easy to use and efficient.
