Hunter Herald 14 Double Sided Double Depth Stove

What exactly is a double sided double depth stove you may ask yourself? Well, take a look at the Hunter Herald 14 Double Sided Double Depth Stove for a glimpse of a relatively large double sided double depth stove. The fact that Hunter Stoves have used their premium brand, the Herald, to launch the double sided double depth stove says everything about their confidence in this machine.

Technical specifications of the Hunter Herald 14 Double Sided Double Depth Stove

So, what is so different about the Hunter Herald 14 Double Sided Double Depth Stove and why is it expected to be such a hit? Well, first of all the heat output ranges from 14 kW up to 25 kW with a 17.8 kW nominal ranking. The efficiency rating is an impressive 71.1% and the machine weighs in at 270 kg. However, for many it is the triple burn technology which makes the difference. This ensures that wood and solid fuel is burnt, re-burnt and burnt again to maximise heat output and reduce emissions. When you consider we live in a world where green technology is king, there is severe pressure to reduce emissions and maximise efficiency, the Hunter Herald 14 Double Sided Double Depth Stove is certainly an interesting addition to the party.

The stove has a width of 760 mm, depth of 840 mm and a flat top height of 645 mm, low canopy height of 855 mm and a high canopy height of 975 mm. For those who enjoy sitting back, enjoying the deep seated heat of a wood-burning/multifuel stove, does it really get any better? The Hunter Herald 14 Double Sided Double Depth Stove also has an air wash system which ensures that the glass doors at both sides are clear at all times. You are therefore able to watch the flickering flames and the burning embers to your hearts content.

What is it about double sided stoves?

Before we look at the ambience and the environment which the double sided stove brings with it, it is worth noting that the Hunter Herald 14 Double Sided Double Depth Stove comes with either single doors or double doors. These can change the decorative nature of the machine and you can guarantee it will be a conversation starter wherever you put it. However, the enlarged combustion chamber means more logs can be loaded up and more heat created. Whether central in an enlarged room or covering two adjacent rooms, the heat output will certainly ensure you are warm in the evenings.

It is safe to say that double sided double depth wood-burning/multifuel stoves are not for everybody – not all homes will be suitable. However, feedback from the initial launch suggests that this is an extremely popular machine. The Hunter Herald 14 Double Sided Double Depth Stove creates masses of heat and an ambience and atmosphere which is so relaxing it is untrue.
