Review of Franco Belge Belfort stove
Trouble with smoke
We are having serious smoke issues with this stove. We had it installed last winter and it worked fine for a while, then started smoking terribly, with smoke coming from under the lid and back through the vent. We asked the bloke who'd installed it to have a look and he said the pipe needed sweeping (it's vented at the back, not from the top), so we did this and it was OK for a bit. But now it won't light easily at all and smokes so much we can't really use it. Very disappointing. If anyone knows how to combat this problem I'd be extremely grateful. It's a lovely little stove when it's working properly and kicks out enough heat to warm a biggish room whilst looking very decorative.\n\n\nStove Expert: Have you removed the baffle as there may be debris on top of it preventing the gases from exiting the firebox chamber. Smoke escaping can be caused from wet fuels, a cold flue /poor flue draw . Recommend getting installer back to check installation as this is not a problem with the stove. Let us know how you get on.
