Review of Firefox 5 stove

Disappointed

Richatd Gibson 6 years ago

Nice looking little stove. I did want a larger one but had to make do with this one for flue size. And was very happy. Blasts out some good heat. Looks pretty. But 1 year later I noticed when cleaning it. There is a large crack on the top. For a 1 year old stove which is hardly used is a little disappointing seen as I've only used logs and kindling in it. Such a shame.

Stove expert replied: Castings rarely crack for no reason, it may be that you have inadvertently operated it on too high a temperature for a prolonged period. It is a shame though agreed.
