Review of Firefox 5 stove

great little burner

Adam Samuel 10 years ago

We have the Defra approved version in our 3 bed house now and its great keeps us nice and warm but now we have a slight problem , I recently cleaned the flue and there is a plate inside the top of the fire just laying on top of the fire bricks , now the burner is starved of air will not light and is smoking

Stove expert replied: It sounds as if the inside components have not been put back where they were originally if all that has changed is that it has been thoroughly cleaned out. Please check the manual for guidance on where the parts should be located.
