  • Well impressed.

    Went shopping for a large stove with the intention of having a hot room and wanted a clear view window not double doors.This stove fits the bill it's easy to operate & clean out & the flat top
    is ideal to boil a smaller kettle or a pan.It's been fitted in now for 6 months with 6 weeks of use I use wood and smokeless coals and rate this heat output 10/10.It's the 9kw stove and came at a good price I'm more than pleased as will use less of the central heating and more of the stove.

  • My Villager Elite

    Gary Pugh 11 years ago

    Nearly bought a cheaper stove from Ebay, but was warned off due to Chinese imports, so glad I was, as my Elite stove has been working in our home for 4+ years without any problems. It's also
    fairly easy to keep in overnight with logs staying in 8/10 times and 10/10 with coal. With the cost of oil going up its great to have an alternative.

  • Sleeping Logs

    Geoffrey Hibbert 11 years ago

    The Villager Elite begins to warm a very large sitting room almost immediately. It is remarkably easy to light and then to adjust. When fully alight it throws out such a comforting heat that
    even the worst insomniac would soon be fast asleep. Marvellous. Maintenance and cleaning could not be more straightforward and emptying the ash pan isn't necessary after every burn. I have already recommended the model to my daughter and son in law.

    Stove expert replied: Do not let the ash build up in the ash pan, it is best removed so that it does not touch the grate system.

    A traditional design it sits well in a large room, is easy to use and gives impressive output. The double doors make cleaning out ash very straightforward.

    I bought this stove because I was so pleased with it's big brother model A series fitted in my living room, this one I fitted in my dining room, I hardly used it, so I have now fitted it in
    my conservatory with the chimney going straight up though the roof. Brilliant piece of kit !.

  • Hot Villager

    John Sizeland 15 years ago

    This stove was installed in my home when we moved in, I had no experience of multifuel stoves so until winter was well on its way I didn't light it. When fueled with wood this stove can go from
    cold to red hot in about ten minutes, after this initial burst of heating I recommend a mix of stove fuel pellets and wood. The stove raises the temperature of the whole house rapidly and with little smoke. When run efficiently it gives a relatively low amount of ash but be warned it does get hot.
