    Stove expert replied: Rope seals need to be checked regularly as do glass gaskets, they should be replaced when the rope looses its pliability. To check a door is sealing well, shut a piece of paper between the body of the stove and the door (when cold) and if the paper can be pulled out easily the rope needs replacing or the door needs adjusting. The damage to the door may have been caused through the ill fitting rope seal, worth checking annually if not more often.

  • giving up!

    Sally Eastwood 5 years ago

    Bought this 5 years ago because it is uk built and contemporary look. We are disappointed with the quality and controllability. So much so that we are going to replace it this year.

    Stove expert replied: What a shame as these stoves have given good performance for other customers. The controllability may be an installation issue not a problem with the stove and should be investigated further before a replacement is purchased.

  • Great little stove

    Joe Lawton 5 years ago

    The first couple of lightings were a little smoky as the rope bedded in but since then there have been no problems with smoke in the room. It burns nearly anything (soft/hard wood, pallets etc... []

    Stove expert replied: The rope should be changed when it is not sealing the door adequately, try shutting a piece of A4 paper between the door and the stove body, if you can pull the paper out check adjustment on the door and replace the rope. An alternative test is press the rope and there should be some spring in it, if hard it should be changed.

    Although it's a great looker the Firebelly is an uncontrollable heat blaster. Installed 4 yrs ago and very happy with the contemporary looks of the stove, the large firebox-sized door gives... []
