  10 years old . Since installing always burning too hard, appears cannot be improved on..Top plate cracked last year agents condemned stove and said not to be used..Had two baffle plates since
  new

  Stove expert replied: Two baffle plates in 10 years is not excessive. If always burning too hard then likely to be an over drawing flue and this is not the fault of the stove. This can be checked and should be undertaken if you are planning to replace the stove as similar may occur with the replacement if the flue draw is too high!

• can if a boiler to my stove, even though i been running it fo 4 years

  Richard Mason 8 years ago

  we love our stove,is it possible to fit a boiler to it even though its 4 years old, ?my concern is will the blanking discs come off without damaging the stove, in order to fit a boiler, should
  we be able to purchase one?thanks

  Stove expert replied: It should be possible providing enough space has been allowed behind the stove for the pipe connections. The blanking discs are designed to be knocked out so are partial thickness normally.

• very dissapointing

  Rob Brev 10 years ago

  The fire was installed 3 years ago, recently had it inspected and was found to have large crack in the back plate, also the throat plate had melted. It has been condemned, so we complained to
  Franco Belge which was a waste of time. We now have to buy a new stove. It will not be another FB. The inspector who is fully qualified said it was caused by the air wash which had not been connected to the external control knob, thus being stuck permanently fully open.

  Stove expert replied: What a shame, a stove should be controllable so as to allow a gentle slumbering flame picture and if this is not achievable then this should be investigated to prevent over-drawing and the problems caused by this.

• Franco Belge Savoy - three years old

  Phillip Lucas 10 years ago

  Great stove... until today. Whilst chimney sweep replaced fire gum, he noticed two cracks: one in the back and one in the top plate. Will revert to dealer and let you know what happens...

  Stove expert replied: This stove has a 5 year warranty so this should be covered by this.

  Hel Til 10 years ago

  Right from installation when new it burned too fast and was taking in too much air. It seemed to be very inefficient and gave little heat. I have just discovered that air is going in underneath
  the top rim, where there seems to be a gap of about 5mm. Looking at the manual, the stove comes in sections to be bolted together and is not in one piece. Problem is solved by packing the gap with fire rope. Not sure if this is a design flaw or bad installation.

• Savory Cracked Casting

  Chris Young 10 years ago

  We have a Franco Belge Savoy which has been fitted for ten years. We have now found fractures running top to bottom on the rear of both sides of the stove. We now have to buy another stove
  , needless to say it will not be a Franco Belge.

  Stove expert replied: The cast craking can be down to many causes and this shoudl be investigated further. A stove thermometer will insure that it is ioperated within the correct perameters and is a good investment. Modern stoves will have been adapted and improved and as this is 10 years old should not be compared to a new product.

• Savoy Elegance

  Alan Carr 11 years ago

  I have just had a Savoy Elegance fitted yesterday. Lights real real easy but burns fast ( I need to source a hot but slower burning fuel any recommendations?) I tried logs first and it just
  ate them up, so I tried coal which was better but still burns too quick! I did not bank it up at bed time but there was still embers in the morning which soon took hold when I added some coal. I got the red enamel and it looks cool. So far so good, hope it stays like this! Once I find a slower fuel I'm using a coal smokeless........any suggestions for a good fuels? What are the man made Eco logs like?Alan.

  Stove expert replied: If the stove is working hard and you have little control (not sure that I would say your does as it stayed in overnight) there are things that can be done to the flue to slow the draw. Further investigation recommended.
