Review: Broseley Evolution Desire 5 Widescreen Multifuel Stove

It is not difficult to see why the Broseley Evolution Desire 5 Widescreen Multifuel Stove is proving so popular. It looks traditional, has the latest combustion technology and above all has a very impressive widescreen viewing area. Indeed, while this particular machine creates up to 5 kW of heat, the viewing area is actually from a Broseley Evolution Desire 7 Multifuel Stove. So, a machine suitable for small to medium sized rooms with the extended viewing area of a larger stove – it’s not difficult to see why it is so popular.

Features of the Broseley Evolution Desire 5 Widescreen Multifuel Stove

The look and the feel of the Broseley Evolution Desire 5 Widescreen Multifuel Stove are there for all to see. A traditional look with the most up-to-date combustion technology is something many of us now take for granted. The ability to burn and re-burn fuel and fumes to increase heat output and reduce emissions. It is safe to say that a lot of work has gone into this stove and it certainly gives consumers exactly what they want.

Review: Hereford 5 SE Widescreen Multifuel Stove

One of the criticisms of the stove industry, which we hear on numerous occasions, is a lack of innovation and willingness to go out on a limb to create something different. It is safe to say that the Hereford 5 SE Widescreen Multifuel Stove is one which has taken a subtle but very different path. Broseley, the manufacturers of this stove, decided that it was time to give their customers the best of both worlds. Creating a widescreen multifuel stove for smaller rooms is not easy so, the company decided to use the larger viewing window from the Hereford 7 Stove in the Hereford 5 SE Widescreen Multifuel Stove. Hey presto, the Hereford 5 SE Widescreen Multifuel Stove is converted from a simple 5 kW stove perfect for small rooms to one with an enlarged viewing area.

Features of the Hereford 5 SE Widescreen Multifuel Stove

After spending so much time and effort creating a widescreen multifuel stove, it was to be expected that the Hereford 5 SE Widescreen Multifuel Stove would make use of the latest technology. The Actiview system uses the latest air wash technology to ensure that the wider viewing area is clear at all times. Sit back, watch the flickering flames and the burning embers and just chill!

Is the stove industry doing enough to combat climate change?

Review: Hunter Herald 14 Double Sided Single Depth Stove

While many people may be under the impression and double sided single depth stoves are a new concept, there have actually been around for some time now. However, what do you get with a double sided single depth stove? The two terms relate to the fact that a double sided stove has doors on either side. The term single depth means that the depth of the stove is similar to an average stove. You can actually get a double sided version of the Herald 14 which has an extended combustion chamber for longer logs and more heat.

Technical aspects of the Hunter Herald 14 Double-Sided Single Depth Stove

It can be difficult to know where to start with the Hunter Herald 14 Double Sided Single Depth Stove as this is such a powerful machine. The heat output ranges between 8 kW and 15 kW with a 12.5 kW nominal ranking. The efficiency rating is around 75.7% and it weighs in at 165 kg but for many it is the triple burn technology which stands out. This technology ensures that wood and solid fuel is burned, re-burnt and burnt again to maximise heat output and minimise emissions. We live in a world where emissions are becoming ever more crucial to the sale of wood-burning and multifuel stoves so this kind of technology goes down very well.

Review: Hamlet Solution 11 Multifuel Stove

If you are looking for a relatively inexpensive wood-burning/multifuel stove which produces heat output towards the higher end of the scale, we recommend taking a look at the Hamlet Solution 11 Multifuel Stove. Those who have come across Hamlet Stoves in the past will be well aware that they have historically been described as “entry-level” stoves. While this was a fair description in the past, it does not reflect the technology and the workmanship which has gone into this particular model. We will now take a look at the Hamlet Solution 11 Multifuel Stove in more detail.

The features of the Hamlet Solution 11 Multifuel Stove

At first glance, you will see that the Hamlet Solution 11 Multifuel Stove is relatively straightforward and boxlike. However, there are certain patterns, certain intricacies and you may not have noticed the rounded edges which give it a different look. This is best described as a traditional stove with a modern feel which is perfectly reflected in the underlying technology.
