Which stove should I choose?
Our current stoves are the Glow, the Vista and the Vista Sista. They all use a 60mm flue and fit the stove jack on every current Glawning. The Gloven is being discontinued once the final units have sold.

All Glawnings from about 2022
Every Glawning since around 2022 has a fire-retardant stove jack already fitted. You add a few bolt holes for the 45-degree silicone flashing kit, trim the flashing a little at a time so the double-wall flue fits snugly, then pass the flue through.

We recommend one for every Glawning, Classic and AIR. It sits where the flue passes through the silicone flashing kit and protects the silicone from heat, so it lasts longer.

Clean, dry wood is best. Wood-based briquettes are fine. Avoid coal, ovoids and anything else that burns very hot, because our stoves are rolled steel rather than cast iron and can warp.

Yes. Cover it with a shower cap or towel before folding so the wing nuts can't pierce the canvas. You could also swap the wing nuts for dome nuts.
