Brass fittings

Multifuel (wood, coal & smokeless fuel)
Nominal 4kW
Max. 3.4 to 4kW
This stove will run happily at 1-4kW depending on fuel load.

Height: 18cm
4" (125mm) collar top or rear.
Can be installed with a 5" or 6" chimney/chimney liner (if purchasing the non-DEFRA version then must be 6").
NOTE: This stove requires a 4" to 5" vitreous adaptor to enable the stove to be connected to 5" vitreous pipe. If rest of flue is to be 6" another adaptor from 5" to 6" will be required (adaptor type depends whether attaching to a liner or clip-together chimney system).
Yes, the Hobbit stove can be fitted with an external air kit. Usually this option is not relevant unless an air vent is required and the property owners are aiming for an airtight space.
Cast-iron stove (5-year body guarantee) with cast-iron door.
What to buy steel or cast-iron? Do not overthink. Steel heats fast. Cast-iron takes a little longer but retains heat longer as fire dies.
This stove can, if sited outside of a fireplace recess, be sited on a 12mm thick hearth.
If in a fireplace recess, a full 125mm thickness constructional hearth is required. This will usually be in place as part of the recess design.
Distance to combustibles SIDE: 400mm
Distance to combustibles REAR: 400mm
Distance to combustibles REAR WITH HEATSHIELD: ?mm
To non-combustibles there are no hard rules but, around the stove, a 50mm minimum air gap is recommended to brick/stone. This to be increased to 100mm for rendered or boarded surfaces. Prior to purchasing any stove download the installation manual to check that manufacturers do not have any additional requirements.
