Review of Firebelly FB1 stove

First stove but its Perfect!

Dan Mullish 3 months ago

I have had the stove now for just over 4 years. Looks absolutely beautiful, still not seen a stove that compares. Build quality is good, still looks brand new and nothing has been damaged. Got the stove professionally fitted. From day 1 its worked perfectly. I use mainly kiln dried beech about 12% moisture. Fire lights so easily. I use pine cones as a starter along with normal set up (next door has a pine tree and the cones drop in our garden]. The fire gets hot quick and the whole downstairs gets hot normally about 25 degeees even when zero outside. 2 small pieces of wood lasts about 90 mins when stove is up to speed and the stove is still warm with embers in morning 9 hours after last logs go in. Best thing I did buying this stove.
