Review of Firebelly FB2 stove

FB2

Ben Allenby 3 years ago

I bought an secondhand FB2 off eBay and spruced it up. The thing has come up like new.

When I came to fit it, being a modern design it has an internal collar, and also has a knock out section pressed into it.

I couldn''t figure out the best way to install it and couldn''t find a fitters manual online.

I chanced emailing the firebelly website asking for information on what to do and an manual for it. Thinking I would be directed to an approved fitter or charged for the manual as I was not the original owner.

Well blow me down, Hayley replied an hour later at 7.30pm on a Saturday night explaining in detail that I had bought an older model, how to fit and what to do with the knockout pressed into the back.

Seriously impressed.

Love the stove and even being a lowly 2nd hand buyer with no incentive for firebelly to help, I am a seriously impressed customer.

You have won future business from me as I want a doublesided burner in our next house and your (not even your!) customer service is amazing.

Thanks
