Clearview stoves

[monkeybusiness]

In our family we have 5 Clearviews, and I know of many other owners, and the comment above regarding the problems are the first I have ever heard. I can't recommend them highly enough - they are massively controllable and efficient and throw out loads of heat.

Just wondering wether anyone has any experience with owning a clearview 750 stove, I'm thinking about changing my curent stove which is to small for one.

Just don't want to make the same mistake again so any feedback would be much appreciate.

Sorry if this isn't the place for such a question!

 

We run a 750. It will heat a mighty big space when its running on dry timber.

Further to my brothers Clearview, I run a Stovax Riva Inset, very modern looking and made of pressed steel but is a stonking stove, run it for 10 years and it is great, clean burn and very good operation.

 

My Dad runs a Jotul, also a very good stove from Norway, you can still get parts for it 25 years on:thumbup:

2true the difference between burning logs at 28% and 20%.... is like night and day. the only way i get them that dry is for them to be in shed all summer.

 

try some real dry logs b4 going to that expense:biggrin:

Woodwarm for me, got 3 in our house 6KW, 9Kw and a 12Kw. Similar to the clearview but cheaper. After seeing ours running about 6 friends and family have now got one. Well recommended .

I like them, big solid steel!

 

Yeah Paul. Nice and solid. No poncy firebricks or girly rope to fiddle about with. Adjustments made with lump hammer and welding rods. Seems to be a cult following.....

I deliver to people with Clearviews and there is no doubt they are good efficient stoves that are solidly built. There are few other good stoves out there and most have already been mentioned. Woodwarm similar to the Cleaview not quite as heavy but a lot cheaper, Yorshire dunsley I think, not used one but there are some guys on here who rave about them and the new kid on the block Burley with super efficient burn and some rave reviews from owners. There are lots of reviews of these and other stoves here What Stove | stove reviews uk

 

If it was my money I would buy a Woodworm but maybe that's because there made down here in Devon . I don,t think you can go far wrong with Clearview thou.

I bought a stove from scats when it was on a special deal like a 3rd of the price ( think they put the wrong label on ) I think it is made by arda down dorset way. Mega efficent stove and very controllable. I did not expect much for the money but its miles better than our hunter in the lounge.

I've had my Jotul 602 since 1979, it has done me well.

 

I now have a problem, after burning out a couple of side baffles a few years ago I replaced them with a cut up drain cover, recently I noticed a lack of heat and see I have over driven it so severely the top baffle has erupted like a volcano and spews flames straight up the flue, new part ordered. Temporary fix in place with kaowool.
