Review: Hunter Herald 14 Double Sided Single Depth Stove

Is the stove industry doing enough to combat climate change?

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.

It is also worth noting that the Hunter Herald 14 Double Sided Single Depth Stove has an air wash system which ensures that the glass windows on both doors are clear at all times. This ensures that you can enjoy the whole experience, the flickering flames and the burning embers as the deep seated heat seeps into your rooms. Can you imagine, sitting back on the chair and relaxing after a hard day at work?

Dimensions of the Hunter Herald 14 Double Sided Single Depth Stove

The Hunter Herald 14 Double Sided Single Depth Stove has a width of 740 mm, depth of 700 mm and a flat top height of 645 mm, low canopy height of 855 mm and a high canopy height of 975 mm. It is fair to say this is a decent size machine and while not double depth it will certainly pump out more than enough heat for your rooms. The fact that the doors can be single or double in design, perfectly complementing the decorative shaping, adds that little bit of personal input. However, we know from experience that whatever type of door you use this stove will be a conversation starter and a centrepiece.

The beauty of double sided stoves

In effect you get two stoves for the price of one, one stove to heat two different rooms and with this heat output we know you will feel the heat. Those who have yet to sample the delights of a wood-burning/multifuel stove will not yet be aware of the deep seated heat. The kind of heat which relaxes you, takes away those aches and strains putting you in a rather chilled out mood. Even though double sided stoves will not be for everyone, depending upon room structure, they are certainly proving to be more popular than ever today. Why not sample the delights of a double sided stove and see what you think?
