Lovenhelm stoves

Anyone rate these? Looking for one to do a 7m by 11m room though intention is to leave door open to let it heat as much of ground floor as possible.

It's a Cleanburn lovenholm made by Hunter, not the most efficient stove on the market, controlibility will be an issue.

Ok thanks

So our new stove is fitted (not a lovenholme) but it seems hard to fully shut it down, it always seems to be drawing too hard. It is a 50ft flue so I'm not sure if that's the issue, but surely you should still be able to limit stove to how much air it can actually draw in irrespective of flue length?

Is there a vent on the back of the stove for use in a smokeless zone . Its usually a plate held by a screw that you can close buy loosening the screw , pivot it round to cover the hole then all you air control is from the front .

It is a smokeless zone stove and there is a bracket thing with hole to rear with what looks like couple small screw holes either side.. But there's no plate. There's same size of hole directly underneath also.

 

I'll go have another look to be sure

What make stove is it and are you in a smokeless zone ?

It's a Charnwood C six and yes, in a smokeless zone but chimney that high it's not really such an issue.

 

I had another look and two pics attached. The cream one is hole to the rear and one with lever is hole underneath, I suspect that even if hole at rear was blocked there would still be more than enough air flow through bottom hole for stove to overdraw.

 

Thanks for your comments, much appreciated

Try closing off the rear one and see how you go . Does it take its air from the room or does it have room or is it piped to the out side ?

When we fitted pellet stoves to a block of flats and the chimney was 5 storeys high it was necessary to fit a draught regulator at the flue outlet, this was a weighted flat that opened slightly when the buoyancy of the hot flue gases was such that a depression formed at the stove outlet. The rest of the time the weight kept it shut.

 

 

I would be concerned about using one in a room sealed system unless it drew air from outside.
