Review of Firebelly FB1 stove

Stylish and efficient stove. Airwash is excellent, although the top vent is a little fiddly to operate and I tend to leave it full open. Have never tried to burn it over-night.

\n\n

\n\nLights easily using paper and kindling once you have the knack (don't open the door to put in new wood too soon).

\n\n

\n\nDislikes: Door handle and hinge squeek and the door seal can become dislodged when cleaning.

\n\n

\n\nWould buy another without hesitation.
