Review of Westfire Unique 1 insert stove

Should be way better at this price point.

This is not an installer friendly stove.

Its not a cassette, and the collar is a separating two part, so really difficult to place in a tight gap (which is where you''re going to put this sort of thing) It would have been nice if the collar bolts were fixed, like in an ACR or a Contura, and if the collar didn''t have to go up at least 3 inches up and down to fit, so no sliding it in nicely!

This has basic airflow anyway.

You can get better for a few hundred pounds less.

I''m not saying this woodburner started the war in Ukraine, but there wasn''t one when we started the install.
