Best stove ever – Fantastic stove,gives out a great heat,has changed our lives! Extremely easy to light, lasts all night if stoked before bed.Virtually no emptying. We own 2 Morso stoves (we live in Tasmania )but the Nectre is by far the easiest and most efficient to run.
Don't recommend this at all – I don't recommend this fireplace. I bought it based on the reviews but they are all over 12 mths old so maybe something changed with the fireplace. I definitely don't get 7 hrs burn time out of it or even the 11 mentioned by another reviewer. It looks great but it is so small the fire doesn't last past about 1 hr before you have to reload it. I bought a trailer load of dry iron bark timber so I know its not the wood that's the issue I bought the trivet for the top but it doesn't get hot enough to really cook anything on it. If I close the flue it goes out so its constantly roaring with the flue open. It takes atleast 2 hrs to warm our lounge which is smaller than the declared room size it heats, so if you want the room warm faster than that you have to leave the door open.
You can't fit more than 2 logs in there with sticks so really its pointless if you want a fire to burn for a few hours. If you put more logs in you can't fit small sticks to keep it burning so it goes out and smokes.
I loaded it just before 7pm and by 9pm it has burned through the firewood and cold again, that's with the door closed and the flue partly open so it didn't go out and smoke.
Oh and if it does smoke the smoke comes out the back somewhere into the house
Get something else if you want a fire than warms your lounge for more than 1 hr

Thanks for your feedback and I'm sorry to hear of your experience with the burn time and heat. There has not been any changes in the past 12 months but your comments have now been passed on to our team.
Pumps out the heat! – We installed our Nectre N15 in an open fireplace of our Hobart home at the start of winter in 2023. It's located in a small room approx 12m2 off the main living area, and it heats SO much better than that open fireplace that was there previously. Despite its small size, it really pumps out the heat once it gets going, and heats the rest of the house as well which has been an added bonus. Heat regulation is easy and effective - just a twist of the air intake makes it quick and simple to raise or lower the temperature and adjust the burn time (although you'll need to use a glove or towel to adjust the air intake valve when it's heated up.) The build quality is fantastic, and the handle mechanism makes it easy to open and close the door, especially when it's hot. Overall we are really pleased with the purchase, and would highly recommend this heater and brand to anyone. The picture attached is just after installation, but we've painted the exposed metal and concrete since then to make it look a bit better. Pity the old fireplace wasn't exactly level - but we don't mind that it's slightly off!

Hi Mark, thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. It is great to hear that you are enjoying your Nectre fireplace.
Good unit – Liked the price. Good recommendation from installer. Does what's required. Wondering if we should have got larger unit but generally unconcerned. Size suits the room and it is only being used in the cooler months, so is both heater and feature.
