Review of Fireline FP5 stove

Fire line fx5 -great stove

Rhod Crompton 6 years ago

Had this stove for 6 years now, apart from changing the original firebricks after 2 years I've had no problems! Stove has lots of use each winter, sometimes going for days on end. Still on the original door seal so don't see how this could be a problem for some people. Door glass does get dirty from time to time but a simple clean using a mix of wood ash and a little water. Had a few issues using poorly seasoned wood in the first couple of years but since then have had a ready supply of free oak, ash and other various wood that I cut and season myself! All in all I love this stove
