Saltfire Peanut 5 Wood Burning Stove 39 x 55cm

As my first venture into owning a wood burning stove, despite wanting one for many years now, I had read extensively and trawled the internet to find the 'right stove' for our needs. I was so impressed with the Stove Fitter's Warehouse website, with its helpful and 'realistic' guides, and Julian's no-nonsense reviews and comments, that I chose to order from them. I was also reassured by their customer focused terms and conditions and by the array of positive comments posted by other customers about the company and the products they had purchased. My order was processed efficiently and the stove was delivered within a few days. I was also impressed with the help I received from Aaron at the warehouse with a couple of queries I presented him with. The Saltfire / Ekol company have also been helpful and quick to respond to queries too, which is very reassuring for the future. Although I have prepared the hearth and fireplace, the stove itself is still awaiting fitting - I had hoped to complete the whole project myself but building control in my home area insist on the commissioning of new stove installations by HETAS registered engineers - he is currently catching up with his back-log of work following the Coronavirus lock-down. The stove appears to be well built and is finished nicely. It is compact but has a large viewing window and is quite contemporary in its appearance. I am very much looking forward to seeing it in action in the not too distant future.

Great service from Stove Fitters and the Saltfire Peanut Bignut 5 is a great looking stove although after using the stove for a while now the design does seem a bit lacking. E.G. you need to clean the stove out every day or you cannot get the air through from the primary vent to relight a new fire, the design of the ash tray and holder is too small and the primary vent blocks up ash as the vents strips do not fully line up, not ideal. When you are clearing the ash from within the fire the ash only drops down through the primary vent into the ash tray if you get something in there to clear it however, if there is a lot of ash this falls in behind the tray when you remove it and the opening for the tray is so small it is really awkward to clean this out. That said it is a great looking fire and burns well. Order 10839
