Review of Firefox 5 Classic stove

Fantastic mid size stove

Louise Archer 12 years ago

Fitted this stove around October time and have used it daily sometimes all day, bought it on the net from the cheapest site after shopping around we paid £445. It can heat the whole house if we leave the hall door open to let the heat drift upstairs. It seems well built, no rough edges and looks more expensive than it was. It burns well and is easy to control with a bit of practice. The glass stays clear whilst using and only has a bit of soot on it in a morning. I don't think there is any need to clean the glass every day but I just can't help myself! The ash pan only needs emptying every other day. If by any chance I had to renew it I would buy the same model.
