“We have been using ours for 18months now and really enjoy lighting it, excellent product.”

 

“Our Hotpod is fabulously easy to light, we have only had to light it a couple of times as if we put a sufficiently large log in before we go to bed it stays in overnight (8 hours).”

 

“As for controllability, the main air vent is largely untouched apart from when we are getting it going first thing in the morning or when we have been out for the most of the day. We would then open both vents fully for 15 – 30mins until it is roaring, we then close the main vent and control the flame with the secondary vent which sits at most one full turn open. This is plenty hot enough to heat our whole house which is a 1930's 3 bed semi detached.”

 

“Love my Hotpod”

 

“Me and my family are really enjoying this snowy spell.....well, if I'm honest it's probably just me, but they all enjoy the warmth of 'our wee pod'. Still love it to bits. We haven't cooked with it much, but it has boiled many a kettle for tea and I hope to try the spiced apple juice recipe soon.”

 

“Number ### arrived on Friday and is even better in the metal... I love it.”

 

“Just a quick note to let you know that our Hotpod arrived safely yesterday. Couldn't wait to get it working so I got straight onto installing it and it now works a treat in our new home. It is brilliant.”

 

“Hotpod installed and working brilliantly”

 

“We are both very pleased with the Hotpod and after a couple of winters use, I feel we would be able to make some very complimentary remarks to your potential customer. It also looks rather nice installed in our fireplace.”

 

“The guy who installed ours for us was very excited when he saw it as he'd never seen one before and our next door neighbours are pretty smitten although they already have two wood-burners in their house.”

 

“I absolutely love it.”

 

“Ever since receiving the Hotpod, I've been meaning to mail Dan and Lucy to tell them just what a fantastic product they have created.”

 

“Hotpod is great and is a real talking point here...”

 

“We love our Hotpod and used it last winter to supplement the heating. On or off it looks fab.”

 

“We have set the theme of our whole boat around our fantastic stove.”

 

“I just wanted to thank you and the team there, I could not believe how well it was packed and how amazing it looks. Really a fabulous job from start to finish with great communication, I will recommend you to every friend who comments on the fireplace.”

 

“Finally, a big thank you for your amazing service. I think it is by far the best service I have received from any company I have dealt with I was very impressed by the efficiency and clean-burn figures. I too have always been more than satisfied by the clever device - I still use mine as the main heat in my study when working at home and it burns so little fuel.”

 

“I own the Hotpod now for 5 months and I am still really happy with my stove, besides that I love the way it looks, it warms my whole living room. It looks small, but looks can deceive, capacity is above expectations.”

 

“So bottom line, it is the best stove my money could buy.”

 

“A brilliant stove, it lights quickly, throws out A LOT of heat & looks beautiful, such a fantastic change from the boring box style stoves the market is flooded with.”

 

“It's like having a functional work of art in our living room.”

 

“Plus with the flat top it works great for cooking on or boiling the kettle, we often get power cuts so this is an extremely useful feature.”

 

“Thank you so very, very much to you both! We are so happy with it. It just fit so perfectly well in the best corner of the house, mind you with the lake view!!! Nobody can miss it! Those who have seen the hotpod till now really thinks that it is beautiful, very interesting design and make and one guy even noticed the car parts that have been used. They now all know Hotpod's life story and your name.”

 

“And the winter of 2010/11 didn't disappoint. Coldest of memory in these parts, snow and ice abound so no.** was put in daily use warming the lounge and then the overspill to the rest of the house. Having the chimney blocked up, cavity wall insulation and replacement double glazing (that shut!) were also possible reasons for the improvement in the temperature indoors but no.** was by far the most atmospheric.”

“The cats love no.** too, it's always being checked out in case something interesting has appeared inside or behind and when lit they will bask in front of it like sun worshippers, turning occasionally when toasted. No.**'s part of the family (and is coming with us if we move) but remains genderless. Referred to as no.**, neither option seems appropriate - Dan, is there an answer?”

 

Well yes actually there is. They are all boys.
Dan.

 

 

“Looks - love it still. Has become the focal item for the room decor with metallic textures and shapes echoed in other items of furniture.”

 

“Cleaning - generally very easy. It's all self contained and simple.”

 

“Lounge is a big 'un. 24" by 12"6'. Heats the room brilliantly and we can open the hall door if it gets too much. We usually don't and soak up the fug. It's not our only heat source so no.** is a luxury rather than necessity.”

 

“Efficiency - not sure really but there is nothing but a very fine white powder left.”

 

“It works brilliantly heating a large room on all but the coldest days which is quite impressive for such a small stove.”

 

“It took us a little bit of time to master the art of controlling the flame/heat, but done it is second nature to us. Cleaning it is easy.”

 

“It's fantastic; our downstairs is open planned with a door from the lounge (12 x 12 feet) and from the kitchen/dinner (20 x 14 feet) into the hallway. During the winter months we had to open both doors - as it got so warm downstairs.”

 

“It is brilliant - our fuel bill for the winter months is so much lower than it used to be without the Hotpod.”

 

“Our decor is minimalist; we have made our Hotpod the focal point of downstairs.”

 

“I would highly recommend the Hotpod to everyone. Besides being a total work of art, it is very efficient in heating up any home. It is eco friendly, carbon friendly, the wastage from the Hotpod gets recycled on to my garden and veggie garden too.”

 

“We love our Hotpod. In every way shape and form. Workmanship is damn fine.”

 

“It's simply gorgeous and looks perfect.”
