Multifuel (can burn wood and smokeless fuel/coal)
Nominal 4kW.
Max. 3.4kW - 4kW
This stove will run happily at 1kW - 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 is approved by DEFRA to burn wood in a Smoke Control Area
75% (as a rough guide 75% of heat goes to the room with 25% going up the chimney).
Don't overthink efficiency. 75%-85% is fine and 90%+ efficiency may not work so well on shorter or difficult chimneys.
Yes, this stove can 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).
This is a factory-fitted option and a special order (approx. £250 extra). Please contact us for delivery timescales.
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.

Front of pipe to rear of stove: 170mm
