Woodwarm phoenix firegem 106E. Brilliant stove.

Had one week so far.

Easy to light, vent controls stay cool and control air flow well.

When shut down, stove stays burning all night, I''ve just been adding fuel in the morning and opening vents up and with in tens minutes its burning well again. Rooms tends to be about 22°c when we get up.

Stove handle never gets hotter than warm. So easy to open without gloves.

Got a couple of stoves fans on it to keep air circulating. If anything it heats the room up to much, have to have vents on there lowest settings but that makes wood last longer.

I live in a 3 bed semi detached house. Its warms the house through out. The living room with the stove tends to be about 25°c to 28°c depending on vent settings. This is with kitchen and stairs doors open.

This is in early april and Lowest overnight temp has been 1°c

Build quality appears excellent. Doors shuts and opens easily and is tight fitting.

The glass stays very clean. It can blacken up when slumbering overnight but this all disappears the next morning when fuel added and vents opened a little.

Logs fit in easily through a large door and its nice to see the fire through the large viewing glass

In the last week, its been continually burning for 4 days without issue.

Would buy again, well worth the premium you pay for a woodwarm stove.
