Anatomy of a Clock stove

The interior is lined with vermiculite bricks for an optimal burn. The holes in the back inject tertiary air for clean combustion. There is a single air control which rotates for precise control.

The door closes magnetically for ease of use and minimal interference.

We also have a beautiful Blithfield Compact 5 in honey-glow brown with handsome brass fittings. The Compact is the smaller version of the Blithfield 5 and is a multifuel stove with a grate and ashpan.

It has two air controls, for primary (up-draught) and secondary (air-wash) air injection. The knurled knobs provide good grip and the rotation is firm and comfortable to use.

There is a good-size ashpan and a chunky log retaining front bar.

The ashpan comes with a holder.

Next up is the Clock Blithfield DS, a high-output double-sided stove. It has the same positive latch as the Compact and the air controls work the same way. As with most double-sided stoves, the air controls are on one side only of the stove.

Both doors are openable and the ashpan is split in the middle and each half can be accessed with holders from each side.

The top of the stove. Each stove comes with a pair of gloves.
