Burning Pop!!!!!

Thanks Mick

A lot of the cheap stoves sld in the UK are cast iron - but imported from China and sold under all sorts of brand names once they arrive. The castings are often poor quality soyou end up with air gaps between them once they're all bolted together. This will make the stove practically impossible to control as it will still end up pulling hard even with all the air controls shut off.

 

There are quality stoves in both iron and steel - but obviously the quality sets you back more. Worth it though in my opinion!

 

Cheers,

Some of the best UK built stoves are made from steel - Clearview and Charnwood immediately spring to mind.

We often burn very dry Pop in our Charnwood and because the seals are good and the stove is very controllable, never have any problem with overfiring the stove.
