Dru stoves

Dru are top of the range, cast iron stoves, made in Norway. Dru stoves seem to me a little better than their direct rivals, just compare the weights of the stoves for a start: the Dru stoves tend to be heavier because they are very solidly built indeed. A Dru stove is built to last for many many years - that much is clear when you have a good look at how they are made and put together and backed up by the 10 year guarantee.

Dru stoves feature primary, and preheated secondary and tertiary air supplies, incorporating airwash of course. Each stove comes as standard as a dedicated woodburner (apart from the 44 which is a multi fuel stove), but there is the option of a multifuel model. The two larger stoves, the Dru 64 and Dru 78, both have side opening doors which means loading those longer logs is easy. The multifuel versions also have a top loading door which you can use in conjunction with a fuel hopper (for serious coal burning), and a thermostatic control which automatically maintains the desired heat output.

All the Dru stoves come in a painted anthracite finish as standard, but they can come in a variety of enamelled finishes too, of particular note the ivory white enamelled finish which looks very good.

The handle to operate the main and side doors of the Dru stoves is very nicely finished in stainless steel and is fully removable. This not only keeps the handle cool to the touch but you can helps to ensure that the stove door cannot be opened by mistake.

The stoves are excellently packaged and come with a light wooden frame built around the stove. When you receive your Dru stove please bear in mind their weight: the 64 and 78 especially are very heavy, and you will need to plan ahead for when your stove arrives.
