Technical specifications of the Hunter Herald 8 Double Sided Double Depth Stove

It is easy to forget how stunning the stoves are, offering the ability to heat a large open-plan room or two rooms opposite each other. The fact that the stoves are double sided means they have doors at either end of the stove. This ensures that heat can be omitted from both sides of the Hunter Herald 8 Double Sided Double Depth Stove and due to the size of this particular model, significant heat. The heat capacity of this machine is between 8 kW and 18 kW with a nominal 11.5 kW rating. The Hunter Herald 8 Double Sided Double Depth Stove has an efficiency rating of 79% and weighs in at 230 kg. The relatively heavy weight is partly due to the fact it is double depth, which means it is double the depth of a traditional wood-burning/multifuel stove.

Review: Dovre Zen 100 Wood Burning Inset

The UK stove/inset market has grown significantly in recent years with the introduction of electric stoves as well as insets/cassettes.

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.

This is best described as a traditional stove with a modern feel which is perfectly reflected in the underlying technology.

Bogus stove installer given suspended sentence

Daniel Park, 26, from Crewkerne in Somerset was this week given a four-month jail sentence which has been suspended for two years. Earlier this year he was convicted of installing solid fuel and wood-burning stoves by falsely claiming he was registered and legally allowed to do so. The court heard a number of harrowing stories from his customers.

Pleaded guilty to 15 charges

The defendant pleaded guilty to 15 charges of breaching consumer protection regulations which included using fake certificates to back up his claims. It would appear that much of his work came via his Facebook page and while perfectly understandable that customers took his claims at face value, there are ways and means to check whether someone is registered to install stoves.

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?
