Review of Franco Belge Montfort stove
montfort classic very good little stove
Have had the stove now a couple of years after a bit of research. A tossup between a Morso squirrel and the Montfort, chose the Montfort multi fuel as the glass was larger and better for wider logs. We live in a small terraced house. The stove has completely transformed the front room and heats the whole house up if its on most of the day. It lights with ease and is very controllable. It does not stay in all night even with coal but sometimes just a few glowing embers are there in the morning, But the fire needs to be made the next day. Being cast iron it tends to retain the heat for a long time after it dies down. One little downside the glass tends to blacken easy if the air is reduced before the fire is fully lit. Its very frugal to run 5 or 6 logs and a couple of shovel fulls of coal lasts all evening.the air supply needs to be adjusted to get the most out of it. We are very please with this stove and would buy this product again.\n\n
Stove expert replied: he glass should clear once the stove is up to working temperature providing the wood is dry and seasoned. Household coal is not recommended and smokeless fuels should be use, this may be why the glass blackens!!
