I have an Efel in use for over 5 years now. It is very satisfactory when run on a 24/7 basis. However I have an issue with the oil flow every so often which is not solved by use of the built-in decoking rod. What happens is that the small diameter copper pipe that delivers the oil from the Toby oil regulator (which houses the float) at the back of the stove, gets clogged with gunge in the last 3 cms or so just where it joins up with the barrel section attached to the burner pot. The only way to clean this pipe is by removing it from the stove and usung a piece of wire clothes hanger or something similar to scrape out the gunge at the end that is clogged. Blowing through the pipe is also useful. I think this problem is more likely to happen after the stove has been in use for a few years and it is likely a plumber will be needed for the job.
Hi,Hi,
I was considering buying a solid fuel stove but was nearly talked into buying a oil stove by supplier in Galway on the basis that it would suit my lifestyle as I dont have easy access to solid fuel and no storage facilities and also that oil is actually cheaper than solid fuels. Has anybody purchased a Nestor Martin recently its the Harmony model. If so are they economical and efficient and provide a good heating supply.
