Firefox 8 Stove

C Johnson 15 years ago

Great stove, bought it for a good price - less than half price of a similar sized stove from the local stores.\n\nIt is everything you would expect and chucks out a lot of heat. \n\nWe have a well insulated but bigish house with three floors, single glazing and high ceilings. The stove was bought as a back up to the central heating and has been doing a great job of heating the core of the property.\n\nWe burn both wood (when we are in) and those coal egg things (when we are out). It will burn all night with the eggs if you dampen it right down.\n\nAir wash works great. Gets sooted up then clears its self, great.\n\nYou can buy a more expensive stove but I don't see why.\n\n\n

Stove expert replied: the egg things are smokeless fuel - a type of anthracite coal, quite possibly taybrite or some other brand.
