Review of Westfire 2 stove

Really good stove again!

Aaron Roberts 11 years ago

This is now our second westfire stove, we previously had a uniq 5 at our old home. We love fairly high in the Pennines so we needed a brand we trusted would do the job. The stove is in a traditional shape but it is modern in its styling which sits perfect in our old fireplace. The stove performs very well and doesn't use a lot of wood, the heat it gives off is very good and because it is double skinned it takes longer to heat up but it retains it's heat for much longer. We don't use smokeless on the stove for overnight burning but we did try it once after our neighbour asked us to try his fuel. This worked very well, however we prefer to just use wood.
