Review of Firefox 5 Cleanburn stove

Hard to light

Sophie Shah 11 years ago

Hi - we too bought Fire Fox 5 Cleanburn a week ago and had it installed 2 days ago. The secondary vent also has latitude of no more than 1/2cm. The supplier has advised me that this is correct and is due to the cleanburn.

I am having a lot of problem lighting the log burner as the log does not burn much and goes out straight away - unless I keep feeding with the kindling/newspapers.

The heat generated is also not much.

Any advice will be great.

Thank you

Stove expert replied: Is this flues from top or rear? Is the flue lined? I there an air brick in the room? I would suggest going back to the installer as ask them to undertake a flue draw test.
