The Hunter range of wood-burning and multifuel stoves is renowned in the industry and there is no doubt that the Hunter Herald 8 Double-Sided Single Depth Stove will further enhance that reputation. On the outside to the layman, these look like traditional wood-burning/multifuel stoves but under the surface they use the latest technology to maximise efficiency and heat output. So what should you expect from a Hunter Herald 8 Double-Sided Single Depth Stove?
Review of the Hunter Herald 8 Double-Sided Single Depth Stove
As we touched on above, at first glance this seems like a traditional wood-burning/multifuel stove with a relatively wide viewing window. The fact it is a double sided stove, able to utilise single or double doors on either side is something which may not strike you instantly – you probably didn’t expect it. When you begin to delve a little deeper you will see the power of this machine and why the Hunter Herald 8 Double-Sided Single Depth Stove already has its own target audience.
The heat output from the Hunter Herald 8 Double-Sided Single Depth Stove ranges from 6 kW up to 11 kW with a nominal 8.9 kW heat rating. The efficiency rating is around 74.3% and it is 140 kg in weight. The width of the Hunter Herald 8 Double-Sided Single Depth Stove is 598 mm, depth 420 mm with a flat top height of 625 mm, low canopy height of 778 mm and a high canopy height of 925 mm. It is safe to say that the Hunter Herald 8 Double-Sided Single Depth Stove can heat two large rooms at the same time.
For many people double sided stoves will be a relatively new phenomenon despite the fact they have been around for many years now. The Hunter Herald 8 Double-Sided Single Depth Stove is to all intents and purposes bringing double sided stoves into the modern era. With the company’s triple burn technology the fuel is burnt, burnt again and then re-burnt to maximise efficiency, improve heat output and minimise emissions. There is also a hot air wash flow to ensure that the glass in the door is clean at all times allowing you to watch the flickering flames and the burning embers.
Why should you consider a double sided stove?
It goes without saying that the installation of a double sided stove will very much depend upon the structure of your property and rooms. The concept is not a new one, having been around for many years, but the Hunter Herald 8 Double-Sided Single Depth Stove brings the technology and the efficiency into the modern era. This is an extremely powerful machine, able to pump out between 6 kW and 11 kW of heat, more than enough to heat two traditional to large sized rooms.
Summary
In many ways the beauty of Hunter stoves is the fact that they maintain the traditional look while incorporating the latest in wood-burning and multifuel technology. The single depth size of this machine obviously reduces the heat output potential, compared to the double depth version, but this is still more than enough to heat two relatively large sized rooms. The idea of double depth and double doors may be alien to many stove enthusiasts, so please feel free to call us to discuss them in more detail.
