• Fireview is the true ''Clearview'' Wood burner when correctly installed

  David Housiaux 4 years ago

  Our Woodwarm Fireview 6Kw performs fantastically, so controllable, it has been in 6 years now and is on its second rear insulation board, the second one had to be changed, as the sweep did
  not read the manual prior to dismantling internal parts of the stove. Our friends had a Clearview, but when they saw our gearing / operating controls etc in the Woodwarm Fireview they changed theirs to a Woodwarm as well and are really pleased with its performance, controllability and clean screen.

• Woodwarm fireview

  5 years ago

  How can a 20 year old design stove square box be so different, I have had various stoves over the past 30 years and always been happy to live with there faults as I thought that was the norm
  , then I bought a fireview , you can not possibly get better than this stove, glass always clear , lights easily, brilliant customer service, burns all night through, never puffs smoke into room when refuelling , cheap parts . I bought it as local pub had one and it's the best money I have ever spent .

• Odd noise eminating from fire

  Liz Garrigan 6 years ago

  Recently had our fire fitted and although we love it's look and performance, we are aware of a strange clunking noise every now and again, even when the secondary air control is closed. This
  appears to produce an inrush of air although this has no effect on the flames within the firebox. The front grill appears to vibrate causing it to rattle. Can anyone advise?

• Something Wrong?

  Mary Saunders 7 years ago

  WOODWARM 9kw DOUBLE SIDEDThis was installed in 2011 and, although efficient, has given us problems. We are careful and only use recommended solid fuel and well seasoned wood1. The glass on both
  doors quickly became opaque. It didn't crack or break but simply became 'crazed'. The glass was replaced at some expense this year with exactly the same effect. We must be doing something wrong - but what? Any ideas?2. We are least impressed with the function of the operating handle. What an infuriating thing! If it's turned gently clockwise it is difficult to return to its original position due to small bits of fuel becoming stuck both between and at the end of the bars so that the bars cannot be closed properly. We prefer to use an old fashioned poker!!This stove seems to have such positive reviews that we can only assume that we are the weak link. Any advice anyone?

  Stove expert replied: Crazing of the glass: Explanation of the phenomena of “Crazing” in Glass Ceramic Materials: During the combustion process, fossil fuels evolve combustion by-products.  These vary both in their composition and concentration, and are heavily dependent on the composition of the fuel being used, and the burn conditions within the appliance.   One of the most reactive combustion by-products found is sulphur. Under certain very specific conditions, it is possible to set up a combustion environment where a chemical reaction between the glass ceramic and sulphurous deposits, which attach themselves to the glass surface (through condensation), can take place.   Initially, this may manifest itself only as a series of white deposits on the glass (which can be cleaned off with ease).  However, if these deposits are left on the glass surface over a prolonged time period and subjected to repeated thermal cycling in non-ideal burn conditions, an effect known as “crazing” (fine cracks appearing in the combustion surface of the glass ceramic window) can occur. However, the necessary combination of effects required for this phenomenon to arise in the first place, makes this a very rare condition indeed.   As the chemical resistance of all glass ceramics, falls within a very narrow range, the solutions are limited here.  In extreme situations, one can look at the potential of using a high acid resistant glass such as Borofloat, however factors such as thermal shock, really need to be carefully considered before this option is considered.   Factors to be considered for minimising “Crazing” in Glass Ceramic Windows:   In-Use Guideline’s -          Minimise the use of high sulphur content fuels -          Ensure glass ceramic windows are regularly cleaned using approved (non-abrasive) materials, and any residues are completely removed prior to use   Appliance Design Guidelines -          Create an effective “air-wash” across the glass -          Maintain the inner glass panel surface to temperatures of 250 – 320°C -          Limit the use of out-gassing materials in the appliance construction

• A GREAT STOVE

  David Smith 8 years ago

  After a lot of research of other makes we opted for the Woodwarm for its build quality, parts availability and service,you actually get to talk to someone who knows their products if you want
  advice and they are in the UK.The stove has performed beyond our expectations and the Airwash System keeps the glass really clean. We know three other people each of whom bought stoves at the same time as we did and all of them have stoves of well know makes in respect of which they have regrets. Glass smoking up/staining, fuel capacity,difficulty in lighting etc. etc

  Laura Moir 8 years ago

  Perhaps not as pretty as some on the market but I want ease of lighting, good control and reliability, bags of heat and essentially a view of the fire as it roars up the lum. It's the envy
  of my friends. Glass stays clean for weeks on end. Hot water by the bucket load with no need to employ electric immersion EVER! Love it to bits and would not hesitate to recommend.

  Susan Burgin 8 years ago

  I have been using a woodwarm fireview for the past 5 years and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a stove. It looks good, is well constructed, easy to light, easy to control, gives
  out a comfortable heat and brings a tremendous amount of joy to all the family. So stop searching - just buy a Woodwarm. You won't be disappointed.

• woodwarm 6kw flat top woodburner

  Martin Watts 8 years ago

  We got our Woodwarm stove Oct 2003, the best 700 quid we've spent. Drove down to Devon for a wknd away and brought it back with us to Sussex {planned purchase} So 10 years on would I buy another
  ? NO!!! Cos I'm never getting rid of this one! You burn the third of the wood that you'd get through on an open fire and make the place 3x as warm. Its a doddle to light, totally controllable as its welded steel, no cracks to let in any air, apart from the tiniest amount through the air control. I retro fitted the 90 degree flue manifold, so our cat now has more space behind it, which was a worth while mod. I have changed one glass due to scouring, after 7 yrs and one back board also. Woodwarm are a good firm to deal with and very helpful. I recently redid the fire place tiles etc and got some dark red stove paint on it, looks really good. Build and design quality is really excellent and it is easy to use, light and service. We cook on the top and boil kettles on it, and its the real centre of the home! You can look forward to the evenings drawing in and getting colder if you've a Woodwarm stove to light up!! { the draught and the airwash system is brilliant, and I have no connection with this Company at all, in case you're thinking different.

• Totally in Love

  Yvette 8 years ago

  Having had an open fire for 12 years I decided to have a woodburner. I did my research and visited about 5 different shops. I saw the Woodwarm and loved it, the quality was obvious to see
  and I loved the large window. I asked my neighbour who is a woodburner supplier to find out about Woodwarm and he came back with very positive feedback. I went ahead and ordered my 6KW Fireview in honey glow and I absolutely love it. Once I realised Kiln Dried Logs work better than other types I was extremely happy. It's so easy to light, it's easy to keep clean as it seems to produce little unwanted ash, it's so easy to control and achieve the type of burn you want and with a nice chunky log I get a good overnight burn. I can get it up to temperature within 15 minutes just with some newspaper and a little kindling. I just cannot fault this burner it's brilliant.
