Review of 4kw Foxfire stove

Absolutely a little gem

Paul Camic 3 years ago

Two years ago we began restoring a 1909 built home in the Rye area near the East Sussex coast,and wanted to add two woodburners. One room was a bit larger so we chose the Clearview Pioneer 400 (5kw) and for the slightly smaller room (and fireplace area) the Woodwarm Foxfire (4kw). Whilst both stoves are well made the Fox Fire performs much better and we wish we had installed two of them. It gets up to a good operating (burn) temperature more quickly, uses less wood to remain at that temperature range, has easy to use controls and the glass remains a good deal cleaner. We have used the same wood for both stoves over two winters so have a good sense about they both perform.

Stove expert replied: Glad you are having a good experience with the Fox Fire Paul. : )
