Review of Westfire 23

M Dunn 16 years ago

We've recently installed the Westfire 23. We bought it for the simple design and large window so we could enjoy seeing flames. This has not disappointed. It looks great in our newly converted sitting room. We've only used it a few times (due to the weather warming up considerably) but it burns really well. It is easy to light and gives out loads of heat. Looking forward to that next winter. The most difficult thing we're finding is controlling the flame so it doesn't burn too much. We are new to wood burning so I am sure this will come in time. We haven't burn it overnight so can't rate that. Overall we are very pleased with our choice.
