Review of Firefox 8 stove

Noisy stove

Neil Cav 11 years ago

Our firefox 8 seems to be very noisy and sucks in a lot of air - so much you can actually feel it being dragged into the fire through the air slide at the front. An air noise is heard from the top of the stove too when the air slide is fully closed. It's quite annoying - Any ideas what might be causing this? Chimney is lined with cowl.

Stove expert replied: Possibly an over-drawing flue that requires further investigation.
