The latest product to be added to the showroom is the Everhot , with Island Stoves becoming exclusive agents for the stunning range of electric cookers that have proved such a bit hit with customers . The showroom is well-stocked with live stoves to help customers choose the perfect one – and Island Stoves ’ approved and experienced HETAS engineers can advise on the right choice , considering the correct size for a room , and even installing a new fireplace or altering an existing one to fit . They will also advise on the right Poujoulat flue system . If you ’ re thinking of adding a real fire to your life , a trip to Island Stoves can open up a whole new cosy world .
