Aarrow Stoves Anyone?

[mendiplogs]

I have sold stoves for 6 years now. Last winter the Ecoburn 5 F Plus was my most popular stove. IT has a lifetime casing warranty and touch wood I have never had any sort of warranty issue from any Arada ( Aarrow/Villager/Stratford) stove and I sold around 50k of them last winter.

 

Stoves these days have to meet efficiency ratings, they also have to meet ever tighter emissions regs.

 

Shutting a stove right down causes the fire to smoulder, much increased emissions, increased soot and tars in the flue due to incomplete and low temperature combustion.

 

So these days stove manufacturers set their stoves up to have a small supply of air coming in, this prevents the above problems but does not generally allow overnight burnings. But in these days of central heating is this essential.

 

For extended burns use Anthracite, personally if i fill the stove with larger lamps of ash at 10pm then pop some lumps of anthracite over the top then I can't put my hand on it at 6am having closed it down by about 25%.

 

Clearview are a perfectly decent stove by and large, the Ecoburn 5 is better, cooler touch door handle option, larger glass, more efficient, better warranty. Both if they were cars would be Fords or Vauxhalls, not the most advanced technically but good solid value for money.

 

Ecoburn 5 is now available in a couple of colours from earlier this month.

Hi mate IM SORRY IM TO tight to put on the gas and give British Gas for the money our Euro heat Harmony 3 will keep in for weeks at a time if I like it to and gives out loads of heat to thanks Jon

I put an Ecoburn 7 in our old house. Certainly packed out the heat but the top air vent is flimsy. In our new house we've put a Morso 05 in - more expensive and it shows, although the baffle has already warped and one of the firebricks is cracked (this is from one season of burning)

Problem is Efel who make the Harmony went bust last year, they are good stoves though, I have a Harmony 3 in a games room myself. It is a 16w rated stove so should indeed give out mega heat but spares are already getting tricky.

Firebricks are usually made from vermiculite, it does crack, but a few hair cracks in bricks does not effect their performance. Its only when the bricks start to crumble or the gaps widen to a couple of mm should the bricks be replaced. Mine usually do about 3 seasons, 2 of which they run cracked.

 

Morso lead the world in stove design and technology, they are 5 - 10 years ahead of the rest. 04/06/08 are well designed stoves that are only available in the UK market. They are superior in air control and also have a terciery air system to effectivly burn the fuel twice. Morso have reduced the price on the 5kw 04 this year making it only £50 or so dearer than the 6.1kw Ecoburn 7.

 

Baffle warping suggests getting the stove excessively hot, this should not happen burning wood but can happen burning petroleum based solid fuel. The owner instructions advises not to burn petroleum based solid fuels.
