Review of Franco Belge Monaco stove

Franch Belge Monaco Looks are better than performance

Susan Ross 12 years ago

Have had this fire about 4 years and have had constant problems with the baffle falling down.

I totally agree with the other reviews it is a really bad design. The baffle is very heavy and difficult to put back up. Also the metal holders that are supposed to hold it in place are too short. Would not have another Franco Belge expected better for the price.
