Review of Firefox 5 Cleanburn stove

superb stove and excellent value

William Parkin 11 years ago

Got this stove installed 2 days ago and I absolutely love it. It lights first time every time using some newspaper and a few pieces of kindling and is ready to add a log with in ten minutes. Aesthetically it looks fantastic. The build is all cast iron and it is a solid sound structure. The airwash for me works fine. I imagine if you use damp logs it will tar up the viewing window but as I've only used properly seasoned dry logs the window has remained crystal clear so far. It warms up my 15x10x8 living room beautifully and has transformed the feel of the room. Its so cosy and warm now. The fire is so easy to control. I just close the primary air control fully ( remember to screw it in properly as well as sliding the knob to the left) and half close the airwash and the fire will burn nice and slow while still retaining a low cosy flame. All in all I'm delighted with this little stove. Superb value for such a beautiful looking item that does exactly what its meant to do.
