Review of Firefox 8 stove
Firefox 8
What a superb stove for the money. I have just removed a Firefox 5 to fit this which is also a superb stove for the money but was not quite big enough to heat all of our downstairs rooms. The 8 is easy to light needing just one fire lighter and doesn't even need kindling as long as the wood is nice and dry.\nThe controls are easy to use and work very well and you can really slow the burn right down. A full fire box and a couple of handfuls of anthracite and it burns happily overnight (7 to 8 hours). The finish is very good and the stove was easy to assemble but a couple of the screws did need tightening a bit. The airwash works well as long as the logs are not touching the glass which does blacken it up but its easily cleaned. All in all I would highly recommend this stove and at this price (I paid £330) is an absolute bargain. I know there are probably better stoves out there for twice the price but personally I can't see how they would do anything that the Firefox 8 can,t. It is being used daily and only time will tell how it stands up to regular use but if you are looking to fit a stove ready for the winter these are well worth a try. I hope this review will be of use as I spent a lot of time reading up on stoves before deciding which one to go for and know just how hard it can be choosing the right one.
