Review of Franco Belge Belfort stove

A little gem

Stephen Tranter 5 years ago

I got my stove 2nd hand 20 year''s ago and it''s been an absolute gem. I''ve replaced the baffle plate 4 times, oscillating grate once, the glass twice and the door seal once which is really minimal in cost. I mainly burn wood and it''s saved me a small fortune in heating bills. I wouldn''t be without it!

Stove expert replied: Certainly a good but and a very robust stove.

    Hello it was really interested to see your comments thank you, regarding your stove as I really love mine. Of late I don’t know what I did heated it too quickly and I’ve cracked the plate sides and the tops lifted. I’ve ordered all parts to repair but it’s proving hard to get anyone who can or who wants too. Are you able to advise at all please?
