Review: Hunter Herald 6 Double-Sided Single Depth Stove

Many people may not know but the Hunter Herald stove marked the birth of the Hunter stove brand many years ago. Therefore, we fully appreciate the release of the Hunter Herald 6 Double-Sided Single Depth Stove which brings this classic range of stoves into the modern era. So, what is so special about the Hunter Herald 6 Double-Sided Single Depth Stove?

Review of the Hunter Herald 6 Double-Sided Single Depth Stove

There are not many stoves which have the presence of the Hunter Herald 6 Double-Sided Single Depth Stove while also offering great value for money and a central point for your rooms. This machine is single depth which means the width is the same as a traditional stove. As a consequence, the heat output is between 5 kW and 8 kW with a nominal 6.5 kW rating. As the stove is relatively new we are still awaiting the efficiency ratings but with a weight of just 145 kg it is extremely efficient, compact and offers exceptional value for money. The dimensions of this stove are width 580 mm, depth 370 mm with a low canopy height of 700 mm and a high canopy height of 796 mm.

Is Hunter Stoves about to revolutionise the wood-burning stove market?

Exeter-based stove manufacturer, Hunter Stoves, is at the centre of some interesting press speculation today. The company is openly discussing a secret prototype wood-burning stove which has been in the making for two years. In conjunction with the University of Exeter the company is developing a low/zero emissions stove with what they describe as a dual chamber system.

Environmentally friendly stoves

Those who follow the stove market will be well aware that the UK government is currently cracking down on wood-burning and multifuel stove emissions. Despite the fact that some of the press comment has been inaccurate and misleading, the industry would welcome any changes to help its environmental credentials. Recent reports have bulked wood-burning and multifuel stoves with open fireplaces with no differential between inefficient older stoves and more efficient new stoves. Is that really a fair comparison?

Helios 8 Cleanburn Multi-Fuel Stove Review

Who would have thought just a few years ago that you will be able to acquire the Helios 8 Cleanburn Multi-Fuel Stove, offering more than 8 kW heat output, for under £1000? It is safe to say that this Helios 8 Cleanburn Multi-Fuel Stove Review has thrown up some interesting facts about so-called cheap multifuel stoves and how they have changed over the years. Historically, the focus tended to be on price while today you get value for money and extremely well manufactured machines. So, what else does the Helios 8 Cleanburn Multi-Fuel Stove have to offer?

Contemporary multifuel stove

It does sound a little strange describing the Helios 8 Cleanburn Multi-Fuel Stove as a contemporary multifuel stove because it seems to take in both traditional and contemporary styles. It is fair to say, as you will see from the image of the Helios 8 Cleanburn Multi-Fuel Stove, the machine is dominated by the extremely large viewing area. The ability to watch the flickering flames and the burning embers as you sit back, kick-off those shoes after a hard day at work is priceless.

Helios 5 Inset Multifuel Stove Review

We thought it might be useful to put together a Helios 5 Inset Multifuel Stove review as this is the latest from the Gallery range and proving to be extremely popular. While inset multifuel stoves are perhaps not to everybody’s taste, they are certainly seeing an increase in sales. For many people it is the ability to retrofit the stove within an existing fireplace with minimal fuss which does the trick. So, what else does the Helios 5 Inset Multifuel Stove have to offer?

Creating a relaxing atmosphere

While there is obviously an environmentally friendly angle to any type of stove, there is no doubt that many people acquire them for the relaxing ambience. For those who’ve yet to feel the deep seated heat from a multifuel stove, which can burn wood or approve solid fuels, this is something very different. It is relaxing, calming, all-encompassing and spreads an aura of peace and quiet throughout your home. You will also notice that this particular model is extremely easy on the eye and on many occasions has proven to be a great conversation starter.

Review: Wychwood woodburning stove

While ACR have always been a big name in the UK stove market, the company has excelled itself in recent times. The introduction of the Wychwood woodburning stove is further evidence that the company is a leader and able to accommodate the latest in consumer trends. Finding a balance between cost and reliability, heat output and efficiency is not easy. However, the ACR Wychwood woodburning stove is something which ticks all the boxes and will have consumers drooling.

Look of the Wychwood woodburning stove

As with the best stoves, the Wychwood woodburning stove looks fairly basic but it is what is behind-the-scenes that makes it standout. Aside from the enlarged viewing area, which is the latest in stove trends, the heat output is perfect for small to medium-sized rooms. It comes in a sterling grey paint finish and due to its design and efficiency is already approved for use in smoke control areas.

Review of Vogue Slimline Stove

The Vogue Slimline stove may be relatively new to the market but it has already caught the attention of stove enthusiasts. At first glance the stove looks fairly basic in shape and design but this hides the latest in combustion technology. For many people it is the enlarged viewing area which is most eye-catching, allowing you to watch the flickering flames and the burning embers. However, as we review the Vogue Slimline stove you will realise it offers much more.

Perfect for small to medium-sized rooms

The nominal heat output of the Vogue Slimline stove comes in at 5 kW (2.5 kW up to 7 kW) which is more than enough to heat a small to medium-sized room. It could be tucked away in a corner, creating a soft soothing heat, or centre stage and a conversation starter for your guests. The design is so, well basic is the wrong word, but it almost looks contemporary as much as it looks traditional. It really is in the eye of the beholder. There is also the opportunity to add a log store to the bottom of your stove to save you venturing out on those cold winter evenings.

No ban on wood-burning stoves, repeat no ban on wood-burning stoves

ACR Trinity 1 Stove looks the part and delivers

In all honesty it is not difficult to see why the ACR Trinity 1 Stove is proving to be popular, let’s face it, ACR have an incredible track record when it comes to rolling out contemporary wood-burning and multifuel stoves. The ACR Trinity 1 Stove is literally just the latest in a long line of stoves with a breathtaking design and able to deliver on all promises. So, what exactly does the ACR Trinity 1 Stove have to offer?

Look of the ACR Trinity 1 Stove

In a rather bizarre way, the look and the square shaped design of the stove gives both a contemporary and traditional look (if that’s possible?). It is also a little ironic but as other companies look to rush out widescreen viewing areas, the ACR Trinity 1 Stove already has a significantly extended viewing area. We can probably put this down as a touch of magic by ACR?

Design of the ACR Novus Multi Fuel Stove

Before we look at the technical aspects let us focus on the black glass front which is further enhanced by the gloss black ceramic top. These elements are all surrounded by a traditional matt black finish on the body of the stove which creates a bit of bling and something eye-catching. Even from a distance it is not difficult to understand why the ACR Novus Multi Fuel Stove is so popular and why it is probably one of the best conversation starters we have seen for some time.
