Does anyone here actually have a Clarke stove or know
anything about them?


No, they're horrible. Like all those cheap cast iron stoves, they're
more for decoration than use (especially the smaller cheaper
potbellies). Fire them up regularly and you'll have cracking problems.

Sister has the Franklin, this has been in use for over 2 years, and for
the last winter mostly every day. Not cracked yet.

IMO ugly though...

If its for the workshop ... something like these might be better:
