  Nice looking stove. Beautiful flame when running well. Air wash not great- needs bone dry wood. But easy to light and gives off a very good heat. Firebox adequate.

  Stove expert replied: I have used this stove myself and if any deposits do build up on the window then you can just burn it hard and fast for a while to burn them off.

• Westfire 16

  Bryan Matthew 14 years ago

  With oil prices increasing at an alarming rate last winter, we fitted the Westfire to help reduce our oil consumption. Fitting the stove to a kitchen of around 100 cubic metres, reduced oil
  usage by 50%. The stove alone can heat this room comfortably to 25 deg centigrade, quicker than water filled radiators. Open the ash pan drawer, as stated in the instructions, to light it and it lights fine. Use dry wood and the doors stay clean, only going slightly black as the wood burns out when the air is closed down. A quick rub with a damp newspaper and some ash soon removes any soiling of the glass next day. I bought the coal pan, but doubt I will ever use it, it burns well with wood.

• Westfire Uniq 16 - Great stove

  Satish Patel 15 years ago

  This stove is really easy to use, looks great as a stand-alone stove in a corner. The window size is large and the Firebox is more than fine for secondary heating of smaller rooms. The only
  element would be the costs, that really depends on if you require a stove to look good or just function.

• Looks great - works well

  Paul 15 years ago

  Form before function but It looks great - the glass stays clean if you stick to dry wood. I have the fresh air kit so I really only have control over the secondary air. That said it does light
  in as little as 30 seconds (I cheat and crack the ash drawer open and it goes like a gas torch) and I could watch the rolling boiling gasification flame for hours. The soapstone top retains the heat for about an hour after it goes out and the stove heats up quickly. If using the soapstone all the convected heat has to exit through the side and back - so think about that before deciding. The firebox is not that big but if you fill it it will get too hot so it is probably the right size. No regrets about it - it is not as good mechanically as our Hwam but it is still very good.

  Gives out a lot of heat for a pure wood burner. The only problem is the airwash which in our experience is poor.

  Stove expert replied: A trick with the Westfire 16 stove is to crack the door open a tad when lighting it. Wait till it is nice and hot and going well before closing the door and then make sure that you close the ash pan and primary air slider. This should help keep the window clearer.
