Review of Franco Belge Montfort stove

Great fire but many problems with door

Brian Heppenstall 14 years ago

Great burner with high heat output BUT major problems with door hinges locking so that door pins gradually screw themselves out so that the door will no longer close. After several attempts to repair the door my supplier fitted a new door which gave the same problem after only a few days of use. The seal on this new door also fell out and had to be refitted by the supplier.\nI am now awaiting a replacement burner to be fitted by my supplier which may not be another Franco Belge product!!!!!!!!!!
