While it is fair to say that the Firefox stove range is aimed towards the entrance level this does not reflect the high quality of this range. This is perfectly demonstrated by the Firefox 8.1 Wood-Burning and Multifuel Stove which offers extremely good value for money and a quality product. Imported from overseas, this brand was initially tarnished as a “cheap and cheerful” range of stoves. Oh how wrong they were!
Firefox 8.1 stove technical specifications
The basic measurements of the Firefox 8.1 Wood-Burning and Multifuel stove variations are height 595 mm, width 555 mm with a depth of 365 mm. While the wood-burning variation obviously has one type of fuel, the multifuel stove can also burn anthracite and other solid fuels. The nominal heat output for this particular model is 7.9 kW with an efficiency rating of up to 77%. This is where the idea that the Firefox is “cheap and cheerful” falls by the wayside as the efficiency rating is up there with the best. There is also a twin door variation for those looking for something a little more decorative.
We live in an era where efficiency and reduced emissions are dictating the future direction of the industry. Bearing in mind the relatively low cost of this particular range of stoves, would you be surprised to learn that the Firefox 8.1 clean burn stove is DEFRA approved? If ever there was a reason not to judge a book by its cover, it is fair to say that the Firefox 8 stove range is the perfect example.
Changing the dynamics of your room
As many first-time stove buyers are drawn towards the cheaper models such as the Firefox 8 stove it is fair to say that many will not be fully aware of the ambience a wood-burning/multifuel stove can create. The preparation and lighting in the morning is certainly worth it when you have a rip-roaring fire creating a deep seated heat you are unlikely to have felt ever before. You can also view the flickering flames and the burning embers through the glass window which brings a calm feeling as you sit back and lap up the heat.
We know from feedback that some customers use the Firefox 8.1 Wood-Burning and Multifuel stoves as a means of putting their “toe in the water”. They often have the idea of sampling what wood-burning and multifuel stoves have to offer and then moving up to a more expensive range. However, we also know that those acquiring Firefox stoves are extremely happy with their purchase and many choose to retain their stove rather than “upgrading”.
Spares and maintenance
The popularity of the Firefox stove range supports a comprehensive spares and maintenance service. If you require spare parts in the future they will be readily available as will advice to maximise the efficiency of your stove and value for money. Slowly but surely Firefox is shedding the “value for money” tag and becoming more recognised for providing a quality stove at an affordable price. Not just a cheap stove!
