Great little stove

We bought our red FB about a year ago having searched long and hard for a contemporary looking small stove. Our FB certainly fits that bill. I have only marked two areas as satisfactory. The control ability and handle operation for the following reasons. Control ability: the top air intake is rather stiff and sometimes sticks half closed but with a bit of encouragement it moves. Once both the top and bottom are closed then it ticks away very nicely (always close the bottom intake first!). Handle operation: this can be a little stiff but on the upside here you know that the door is sealed well when the door does close. Finally airwash: when closed down the glass does smoke up a little but when opened up again it soon clears, and we have known ours to remain warm overnight with just the minimum of logs lit initially.
Overall very pleased with it.

Stove Expert Replied: A few niggles but nothing major to cause disappointment as the heat makes up for them!

Un-controlable looker

Although it's a great looker the Firebelly is an uncontrollable heat blaster. Installed 4 yrs ago and very happy with the contemporary looks of the stove, the large firebox-sized door gives a great view of the fire. However, the top and bottom vents have a very limited effect upon airflow, consequently we tend to limit the heat output by controlling the amount of logs we put on it - not entirely satisfactory. All that said, because we only use it as a visual adjunct to heating, I can't say that I would never buy one again because I do really like the look of them.

Stove Expert Replied: Check the fuel to insure that it is good quality to help with overall performance.

Firebelly FB Stove

We moved to our new house and Firebelly installed the FB stove in Matt Black which looks amazing with the chrome air vents. We had the FB1 in our old property which would have been too big for the room we wanted to put the stove in here. We have no chimney so the install was a worrying thought initially but we are more than happy with the outcome. We would recommend a Firebelly to any of our friends as they have advised us on everything we needed and their installers were very professional.
The airwash works brilliantly and the flames look fab for a small stove.

Firebelly 4KW logburning stove

This small stove is mostly very good, but the standard and durability of the finish is poor in that it marks very easily indeed. Operationally very good but our installation was very very poor, in fact, still unfinished. Value for money is difficult to score, but whilst the finish is poor and hardly worthy of the name, the fire is robust and a very useable product which is easy on the eye. Not too many "smaller" stoves available so its a shame that Firebelly compromise their product with this external finish.
