Following the stunning success of the Ivar, Dik Geurts recently launched the Modivar. This contemporary design is available as a freestanding stove but also has a choice of stores and stands.
The Modivar, a wood-only stove, has an array of options: rear heat shield, external air kit and screw-in feet for when the stove is not sited on a store or plinth.
This stove is certified as Ecodesign compliant (has passed the new and stringent 2022 regulations).
This stove can burn wood in a Smoke Control Area (most towns and cities are Smoke Control Areas).

Yes, this 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. See "Customers Also Bought" on this page.
Steel stove.
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 and on a log store or plinth, 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: 330mm
Rear heatshield also available. See "Customers Also Bought" on this page.
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.
