Top 3 stoves for evening use

Over the course of the next few months, we will release a number of shortcut videos that will hopefully help you find some examples of appropriate stoves (given your intended use). If you have any alternate suggestions then chuck them in the comments, because that too will be very useful to anyone looking to buy a stove that will service a particular function, or type of use.
Also, check out our website below for stove accessories, written stove reviews and stove spares like: glass, rope seals and fire bricks.

Obviously I haven't tried them all! We have an Aspect 5 for two years that was recommended? Sometimes like tonight (frost last night), I didn't light it until 8pm for a short warm up and a focus, sometimes I light it in the morning and run it all day and it's still hot the following morning. So it's short and long if you get my meaning. For a just a little bit of effort my gas bill is less than a 1/5 of what it was and my wood bill (kiln dried and the man stacks it) is about 1/3 of my previous gas bill in the winter months. So quids in. 4 bed detached? I have a small fan on a timer that blows the warm air around the rest of the house BTW. Everybody that visits my house always says how warm it is.

Sounds great. This was an “evening use” judgement, there will be other topics and the Aspect definitely has its place in some of the others too.

Clearveiw pioneer, been fitting them for 30 years, i know they are old, but the stoves fitted 20 years ago will probably out live the new stoves now. Contura 810, i4 inset. Parkray aspect another good shout.

Yea I like those, but they have a better fitting in some of the other categories that I will be releasing over the next few weeks.

So basically what you’re saying is the heta ambition 5 is the best stove ever made. So glad u agree because I’ve just got one 😅

[@TheTortoise]

It is a great bit of kit and definitely features in some of the other “Top 3” videos coming out!

* Cough * Hampton 5 XL * Cough *

[@TheTortoise]

That was another really good one to be fair! And it’s capable of some more serious use too!

You have never mentioned the salamander hobbit stove, is this because you don’t rate it……?

[@TheTortoise]

I have seen one, but not used it so far. It is a very diddy thing!
