Update on earlier review
Still like the look and the heat output of this well baffled fire, but very disappointed with the quality, this fire is our 2nd stove in our house and is only used when very cold, despite thisStove expert replied: Is the flue draw excessive on the Westfire installation as it is surprising to have cracks in the stoves body which is robust under normal conditions, this may be worth checking before you either update the stove or repair the one you have to prevent similar happening again

Smoke in the room
For some weeks we have had a Uniq 23 Westfire. It's a good stove, but I've a problem. When I open the door to fill the stove with new wood, smoke comes in the room. Also the airwash doesn'tStove expert replied: If you have smoke coming back into the room when you open the door then you need to get an anti downdraught cowl fitted, and possibly provide more air in the room for combustion. This is an installation issue and not caused by the stove, the height of the flue system may also need to be checked.

Westfire Uniq 23 on 100mm block
I've been using this stove for about 3 months now. It takes a while to get it going but it looks great and kicks out loads of heat. The controls do get very hot and can be fiddly to use withStove expert replied: Rust on the inside of the firebox may be due to damp wood or the stove not working hard enough allowing condensation to form. Wood should have less than 20% moisture content for use in a stove. Great to hear that the customer service has been responsive so far.

Westfire 23
I had a Westfire uniq 23 on 100 cm legs installed in September 2012 and love it. It is very efficient and creates little ash. It sits on a 30mm thick granite hearth plate on wooden floors.Stove expert replied: When components distort in a short space of time it would imply that the stove has got to higher than normal working temperature, perhaps not run it quite so hard or run hard for short periods only, a miaximum of 15-20mins twice a day.
