Review of Whisperdale stove

A good supplemental stove

Ant 15 years ago

We bought this stove as a second stove in our dining room, with our main stove running the central heating and hot water. As such (a supplemental stove) it is a great buy, good to look at and easy to use. This stove also seems to be extremely efficient, with us being able to load it up, get it going and then leave it for the day half-damped with it burning only minimal fuel. We run ours with either logs, solid fuel briquettes or a mixture of both.

Stove expert replied: it is not a good idea to burn coal and wood log at the same time - the moisture in the wood combines with the sulphur in the coal to make sulphuric acid which is not good for your stove or flue system.
