Ekol ApplePie paint job: all stove one colour

Thanks to the guys at Stove Fitter's Warehouse for their help and advice about the stove and all the other neccesary bits that I’d need. The stove itself is brilliant and although small works a treat in our living room it also has direct air capability, which is great as we have just had the place insulated and draught proofed and didn’t want to waste any of the heat from the rest of the house.The fitting kit is useful as it contains a 'bits and bobs' bag with all the things that you might need including self tapping screws and fire rope. There is also the trim plate that goes over where the flue goes through the closure plate makes a really neat job, one thing though, it’s just galvanised sheet which is ok if you like that kind of thing but I chose to paint it with some heat resistant paint to match with the rest of the closure plate/fireplace.

After a disastrous experience with another stove company (still chasing my money!), I phoned Stovefitters and had a very helpful conversation, including advice about each of the three stoves that I was interested in. A few days later I phoned to order and was offered a delivery day a few days later (a pleasant surprise after the previous company where the delivery took weeks). It would have been next day if I hadn’t wanted a painted door. The stove arrived as promised, beautifully packaged in wooden boxes, and with clear instructions. I’m really pleased with it - it looks great, is easy to light, and pumps out heat. It’s in a garden shed where I work as a therapist, and is perfect for that. Really looking forward to being snug in the winter. Many thanks. Order no 11305
