Review of Firefox 5 stove

poor product

Brian Wild 11 years ago

I have had my firefox 5 for 20 months and have just found a crack in the top plate, about 10cm. for a cast lron product I am very disappointed considering the cost.

Stove expert replied: Has the stove ever been over-fired as it is unusual for the cast top to fail? Further investigation recommended on how the stove has been operated and what fuel has been used etc.
