Firefox8 going strong.

Fitted it just before Xmas. Only using seasoned wood we have the multi fuel version so has the grate that doesn't allow for more logs so over night burn isn't possible. But with the log only kit I'm sure it would be or very long burn.

No issues with grate or firebricks but have a stove pipe thermometer so make sure it doesn't over heat.

I'm very pleased with this stove for the money.

Heats the living room very well when loaded up and burning well and heats the rest of the house too.

I used an oversized stove and will get the vulcan sterling fan to help push the heat out the door.

Just as good as some other makes for twice the price.
