Review of Fireline FP5 stove

Concerned

Olwen Hall 3 months ago

Had this stove fitted 3 years ago. Had 3 lots of fire bricks due to cracking and 2 door glasses due to crazing. Concerned now after reading reviews weather it''s been fitted right. I had a triple wall flue liner fitted which comes down from roof through first floor chimney which is made of plaster board when it reaches the top of the chimney in lounge which is brick it''s fitted to a plate and does not then reach to the black pipe from the fire. This means there is a gap from the end of the back flue pipe from fire to the start of the flue liner of about 1 metre. I asked my installer was this ok he said yes because the chimney in the lounge is the original brick chimney and not a false one made of plaster board as the one in the bedroom but I''m now concerned that maybe this could be the reason for the cracked fire bricks and the crazed glass in door. Advice please.
