Hi all, I'm new to the forum and am looking for advice on a multi fuel stove. We've seen the Cast Tec Norvik 5 for a really good price locally, but I cannot find any decent reviews for it.
Does anyone have one, or can recommend a good 5kw stove. Looking to spend no more than £750 on the stove itself. Thanks!

    Also about £400 to £500 more than the OP wanted to spend i believe?
    No argument it's a good stove but it's quite a bit over the proposed budget.

    Edit: I've got a Stovax Stockton 5. It meets your criteria (price and output) and it's "ok". It isn't overly fancy / ornate but it works just fine.

    It's hard to recommend it as i've very little to compare it against (which i suspect is the same for most people) but it doesn't have any glaring problems and it keeps us happy in winter.

    Well said!

    This is the difficulty in recommending this sort of equipment. It might work OK, but unless you have used several stoves in similar properties it is difficult to be objective.

    Then there is the very important question of longevity. In X years time you will be able to give a view, but of course the new model of that stove could now be made of cheap Chinese steel plate;)
