Review of FDC 5kw

About the best value around

Andt Genovese 10 years ago

FDC are in my opinion about the best value for money there is. The stoves are simple, robust and efficient (80+%). I fit stoves for a living and I am impressed by FDC for packaging, finish, easy of use, customisation (black handle and stainless air controls) and price.
