Review of Firefox 8 stove

firefox 8

Denis Dowd 14 years ago

I fit stoves for a living, the last three firefox 8s i have put in all had an issue with the back brick cracking and the rope disintergrating on left hand side of door, supplier told me to cut back brick in half from now on and replaced rope under warranty with british equivelent which seems to have cured it. The firefox is made in china, anyone fitting one of these replace rope with new gallery fitting and cut the back brick neatly in half with a diamond blade whizzer, just my 3 pence worth.
