Review of Firefox 8 stove

10 years later and still going strong.

We fitted this stove over ten years ago and it has been a really good stove for us. There are problems with it such as the recirculation nob is a bit stiff but it still works. Also the grates are supposed to rotate via a knob on the stove, this doesnt work at all and has always been a bit useless, but it does''nt matter you dont really need it to work. We have replaced the glass twice, but it still has the original fire bricks and baffle plate though they will need replacing soon I think.

Overall we are very happy with our purchase as it kicks out loads of heat and has stood the test of time well.

We only paid 450 quid for ours, and they seem to be about 800 now.

I personally would highly recommend this stove even with its faults.
