Review of Woodwarm Fireview 6KW Flat top stove

First rate stove (and installation)

Mike Downing

Scores of straight 5s says it all! I had a small Villager before which was ok. My partner used to have fairly expensive Charnwood, that was very good but this stove knocks them both into a cocked hat! Our living room needs about 3.5 kw so having a 6 kw stove means we can leave the door open to let the heat flow up to the upper two floors of our house which tends to shut the central heating down reducing our gas bills.

We have a 1970s house without a chimney so we had to have a double skin flue installed right through the three storeys plus loft. We were very impressed by the work carried out by a firm in Tenbury Wells, they were excellent and very good humoured!
