Review of Firefox 5 stove

Looks great, having some problems

Tommy Dutton 8 years ago

Had my stove installed last week, it's very easy to light, burns any thing but the upper air vent opener ( over top right of door) only seems the move (open/close) about 2cm?? I can get the stove nice and warm but it's not producing the amounts of heat I expected from the install? Am I missing something? All my wood is 15% and I have the proper coal.

Stove expert replied: Is the stove a CB version? If so the air control will not close fully. Was the flue draw tested at the time of installation as if too high it will suck then heat out of the stove before it has time to radiate into the room.
