After 20 years experience with another woodburner, we had a new Chesney Salisbury 8 WS installed and I have now used it for several months. Although we had no problems with installation and the quality of the stove looks OK, I have issues with the design. In particular the lack of an ash tray is a serious deficiency. Removing ash (weekly) is messy and unpleasant. There is also no provision for bottom air which is useful when lighting or reviving a sluggish burn. I also find that the burning area is too shallow and the front baffle prevents efficient loading. 9 out of 10 for quality, 4 out of 10 for design..
