Does the Firefox 8.1 multi fuel stove have a top damper?
Question by: Pauline Roden on 28 Apr 2022, 19:16
Hi Pauline, thanks for getting in touch with us. It's more likely you'd use a damper with a pipe not the stove itself and so the stove won't arrive with one.
If you need a damper you can find here -

I hope this helps?

Can you convert it to log burning only with a wood burning kit?
Question by: Lynsey on 20 Feb 2021, 15:04
Hi Lynsey, thanks for getting in touch. I have been informed that there is not a wood burning kit option for this stove I'm afraid. I hope this helps.

Would a steel hearth 900w x 700d be suitable with this stove? Thanks
Question by: Anna on 23 Jan 2021, 22:21
Hi Anna. So the clearances required are 150mm left to right, 100mm behind, and 300mm in front. As long as your hearth can accommodate that, it will be fine. Thanks and I hope this helps.

Dear direct stove team,
Can you please tell me if I can install stove to the loft floor. If so I will install into the existing chimney breast. Do I still need liner pack. Can I order less than 5 meter liner? Do you also provide installation service?Thanks in advance in advance.

Question by: Burhan on 1 Jan 2021, 21:46
Hi there, thanks for your question. As long as it is flued properly then yes, and yes you can order less than 5m of flue, however you are not guaranteed to get a draw if the flue run is 4.5m, although a chimney pot can help to extend the flue and create a better draw! Hopefully this helps!

Can you please tell me if you can get a log stand for this stove? Thanks in advance.

Hi Iain , unfortunately not , sorry about that.
Answer by: Henry Lewis on 24 Nov 2020, 13:19
Hi direct stoves team, four questions please.
1. What is the size of the window of the Firefox 8 Eco?
2. Can it be damped down and left to burn slowly through the night?
3. You talk in another Q & A about this model having 'reduced output rating to pass the Ecodesign 2022 Standards'. Buying a stove that is Eco 2022 rated seems like a forward looking, good plan....but are there downsides to selecting this rather than a Defra compliant but NOT Eco 2022 model? (it's for a central London location)
I am torn between this model and the GO ECO 5kw Wide Plus Highline. I think the Go Eco has a slightly larger window and can certainly take larger logs... but it has a steel body (my previous woodburners have always been cast iron and I like the heat retention. Are there any other key differences I should consider when choosing between them? Many thanks. Barney.

Delivery Info
Free 1 Man Delivery – For Full Details Please See Delivery Information
Our "Free Delivery" is a one-man service. The goods will arrive on a lorry that is about the size of a fire engine. (Please let us know in advance if you have restricted access or other local issues that could affect delivery).
The lorry has a tail lift that allows the driver to get the item(s) off the vehicle. The order will be packed and secured onto a pallet and the driver will have a pallet truck. He'll be able to wheel this as close as possible to your property. The pallet truck can only be wheeled over a finished surface so it's not possible to wheel it over a gravelled drive, steps, steep slopes for example. The pallets are normally about 1m wide so this is the minimum width gate they can fit through. Please note that the driver is not insured to unpack or carry the item(s) into your house.
Fitting Kits and Liner Packs might arrive separately by courier delivery on the same day unless specified/requested in advance. An email confirmation will be sent if this is the case.
If the goods are showing 48hr delivery, then this is the quickest time we're able to deliver these items (We do not deliver at weekends). You'll be asked to select a delivery date when purchasing the goods. Please note that if you live offshore these dates do not apply as it will take us slightly longer to get the goods to you and we will contact you directly.
Please note that it is an all-day delivery service which is generally from 9 am – 6 pm Monday to Friday. Delivery Depots, if they have the facility, will text in advance but as the vans do multiple runs a day you might not receive a text until the afternoon if this service is available.
Due to current pallet network pressures mainly due to driver shortages we cannot guarantee delivery on your chosen day but will do our best to communicate this as soon as we are made aware by the carriers.
Two Man Delivery (£75) – For Full Details Please See Delivery Information
As the name suggests with our two-man delivery service the goods will be delivered by two men. They will carry your stove into the room of your choice (subject to any changes due to covid restrictions).
They will normally carry it up 1 flight of stairs (if it's safe to do so) but this is at their discretion so if you have a 3rd floor flat, please inform us beforehand to avoid any issues during delivery.
The two-man delivery normally takes 5-10 working days to be delivered once we receive the stock into our own warehouse, but this timescale can be dependent on where you live. We expect the lead time to extend during busier periods/later months of the year. Once the goods come into stock you will be contacted, and delivery arranged.
Please contact us directly if you wish to take advantage of our 2-man service.
PLEASE NOTE THAT WE STRONGLY ADVISE THAT YOU DO NOT BOOK ANY CONTRACTORS, PLUMBER’S, OR FITTERS UNTIL YOU HAVE RECEIVED YOUR GOODS AS UNEXPECTED DELAYS CAN OCCUR.
