True North TN10

The wood doesn’t burn over night, it needs to have the door open to heat up the room, the wood doesn’t burn well when closed and will go out and just left with black coals. I would not buy this model again. Show details

Stoked with this heater – I recently installed at TN10 myself at our house on the NSW Central Coast in Australia. We reluctant to choose the TN10 because we thought it might be a little small, but we wanted to put it in a corner of the room, and we had very limited space to work with. The TN10 was pretty much the only heater that would fit. The first few times I fired it… Read more

up it was pretty underwhelming, but I think the fire bricks might have been a bit damp because from the 3rd or 4th time we lit a fire in it, it's been great. We are using it to heat a space of probably 64m2, but our house is poorly insulated and quite drafty. In a well-insulated house I reckon you could heat a much larger space. We've been getting around in T-shirts in the middle of winter. The one drawback is that the firebox is quite small (250mm wide from memory), so you need to cut your would a bit shorter than you would for most wood burning heaters. Also you need to clean out the ash pretty regularly.

I have managed to restart the fire in the morning from the coals left behind, and we're not even burning super dense hardwood. I was pleasantly surprised with this heater and I'm getting great satisfaction from it. I would highly recommend it to anyone with limited space who is looking to heat a small to medium area.

Great heater and cook top – I have just had a TN 10 installed in a 5 meter by 10 meter room and it’s wonderful. I have had wood heaters before in other houses and this is the best by far. It burned all night with one log and the room did not drop below 21 while the outside temp went down to 2. And the cook top keeps a kettle on the boil. Cooked a lamb tagine on it last night. Could not be happier with this little wonder. Show details

Huge disappointment with this modern expensive heater – Our ancient Morso pot belly casing split and had to be replaced, We took advice from the local specialist shop as we needed a small size heater to suit the space. The outcome was to change to a front loading Canadian manufactured item at great cost (with 50% on top for the installation, making the flue to fit). We are disappointed. Reasons: 1.… Read more

It needs constant attention as it has a very small box unlike our old top-loading Morso 2. Getting good ignition requires the door to be used as an air inlet at times 3. Opening the stove leads to hot wood, ash and smoke to enter the room 4. Despite using dry jarrah offcuts we get the glass blackening each time. 5. Heat output is a fraction of our old stove even with the pump (extra cost) running. 6. Pump is so noisy we can't run it very often. 7. Small size box means we must kneel and empty ash every single day which at our age is a no-no.
