The Peanut 3 shares the contemporary design of the rest of the Peanut range and is the smallest in the family. As with the other Peanuts it is made of cast iron and is durable and long-lasting - all wrapped up in a compact body that could well give the Salamander Hobbit a run for its money.
As with all Peanut stoves this model has Fast Flame technology - lighting and re-lighting fires just got a load easier.
All Peanut stoves have Fast Flame to make re-lighting a small bed of embers easy peasy. Read more on our Peanut 5 page.
Three controls for maximum flexibility.
Wood-only (can only burn wood)
Nominal 4kW. Max. 4.4kW
This stove will run happily at 2kW - 4.4kW depending on fuel load. Note that running the stove at a higher fuel level than that specified in the manufacturer's manual may cause degradation of stove innards (firebricks, baffle etc.) although these are replaceable (and repairable with beige fire cement).
This stove meets and exceeds the new 2022 Ecodesign regulations
This stove is approved by DEFRA to burn wood in a Smoke Control Area
82.7% (as a rough guide 82.7% of heat goes to the room with 17.3% going up the chimney).
Don't overthink efficiency. 75%-85% is fine and90%+ efficiency may not work so well on shorter or difficult chimneys.
No, this stove cannot be fitted with an external air kit (draws air from outside via pipe direct to stove). Usually this option is not relevant unless a room air-vent is required and the property is airtight (by design or choice).
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.
Hearth thickness: minimum 12mm non-combustible material (can include floor thickness).
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.
