Fireline FP5 stove

The Fireline FP5 is a 5 Kw Defra exempt stove. There are two models available; burning and multi-fuel. A 12mm hearth is okay if your burning dry wood, however - if you burn smokeless fuels you will need a smokeless kit.

    Good little stove and been installed for over 3 years. I, like previous reviewers have slight discoloring / soot to the glass but this is generally down to closing down the air wash controls... []

    Stove expert replied: Contact a spares company for a rope replacement price or a genuine spare as rope comes in many densities and diam. so the correct product should be used.

    We bought this stove for our kitchen diner as we had a marvellous experience with our Woodwarm stove in our Living Room. We didn''t want to spend a huge amount of money and this stove was recommended... []

    Stove expert replied: Glass cleaning - a damp cloth dipped in vinegar or woodash should help to remove discoloration and is cheaper than a branded hob cleaner. A non stick scourer with cream cleaner also does the same and doesn't scratch the glass surface.

    The door handle has melted and fallen off returned to shop where we bought it from who then gave me a new handle straight away. Have just used the fire for the first time since and the same... []

    Stove expert replied: Seems very strange that the handle has melted twice, is the fire burning fiercely or are you able to close it down?

    Mike Stevens one year ago

    Great stove in terms of look and heat output, however I am having problems slowing my burn down, flame is always very flickery no matter how much I turn top vent down, half a turn too much the... []

    Stove expert replied: It sounds like the control to regulate the rate of burn is very fine. With practice I am sure you will find where it is best suited, a small adjustment and leave for a few mins at a time is advised seeing as half a turn is too much.

  • fire rope

    2 years ago

    After one year fire rope has become unfurled,split and come away from door. not happy. thought it would last longer before replacing any parts.

    Stove expert replied: Fire rope is a consumable item and replacement parts will be required to ensure the product stays in a good working order. Rather a shame that this required replacing so soon.

    Installed 4 weeks ago. Just burning wood. On our 3 rd use the glass on the door developed a huge brown burn mark which is not removable by any methods suggested here. The glass is burnt. We... []

    Stove expert replied: Have you gone back to your supplier to see if the glass could be looked at by the manufacturer? Marks should clean off if the correct fuels have been used and if the stove has been operated as per the instructions provided. Glass that will not clean can be caused by too little air going through the stove or indeed too much and the stove being overdrawn. Worth following up to prevent any further damage to the appliance.

  • Not Very Good

    I have been using my new fx5w for about two months. I am comparing it to the Clearview Pioneer 400 which we installed in our previous house. (The Pioneer also is rated at 5 kW). I had a look... []

    Stove expert replied: The firebricks may be able to be turned round many are dual aspect which would get over the etching in the front face. Regarding the smoke coming into the room this may not be the fault of the stove but a poor draw on the flue system,. Make sure that there is enough free air in the room by possibly adding a vent. Making the flue taller may help this or fitting an anti downdraught cowl could overcome the problem.
