Franco Belge may have changed hands on a number of occasions in the past but there has never been any doubt about the quality of Franco Belge stoves. Thankfully the brand is now in safe hands and the company has again started to release new products into the marketplace. The latest such stove is the Franco Belge Vicky 5 wood burning stove which is catching the attention of stove enthusiast for a number of reasons.<\/p>\n

Traditional old world look<\/h2>\n

While Franco Belge is possibly better known for its more innovative and contemporary stoves the Franco Belge Vicky 5 wood burning stove is a throwback to traditional style at an affordable price. This is one of the smaller stoves in the Franco Belge range which slots perfectly into the company\u2019s portfolio, expanding the different room sizes which their stoves cover. Even just the quickest of glimpses at this stove will highlight the extended viewing area, the traditional box style and what looks to be on the surface a relatively simple stove. However, like all modern day stoves they hide the latest in combustion technology and air flow systems.<\/p>\n

This machine creates a nominal 5 kW in output and weighs in at a relatively light 92 kg with an efficiency rating of 75.3%.

There is an optional top or rear flue outlet and the flue diameter is 125 mm. When you bear in mind the cost of this particular stove, under \u00a31000, the heat output, the efficiency and the dimensions, it does certainly hide an array of modern day technology under the surface.<\/p>\n

Spare parts<\/h2>\n

It is unfortunate that the history of Franco Belge stoves does incorporate so much disappointment and change in ownership because there is no doubt it has impacted consumer confidence. However, as we touched on above, everything has changed and there is an array of official Franco Belge stove spare parts\/replacement parts readily available.<\/p>\n
