A steel stove with a contemporary look that is excellent value for money.
"This is a really nice stove and the first we have purchased in about 15 years. We had a cast iron Dovre 250 and the Saltfire is steel and thus much lighter. Installation is easy to an existing flue - just slots in and then you add fire cement or resin. No need for a collar. Stovefitter's Warehouse were very helpful with this purchase when I contacted them to ask about sweeping through - the online manuals from Saltfire said that you could not, but you can (which is a relief as we did not want to put a hatch in the flue). The fire performs very well, the ash almost burns to nothing. We have not needed to empty it of ash since we had it. Lights easily and gets nice and hot. A stove thermometer puts it in the correct operating range. The glass stays reasonably clean and you get a lovely view of the flames. My only negative is that the door handle is awkward to close - we turn it the wrong way frequently, but maybe that is because the Dovre was very easy. For the cost of this, you cannot go wrong and its Defra approved." Review by A Wilcox
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).
One of the first brands of stoves I sold, way back in 2013 in my small shop "The Wood Stove Hut". I have met the owners (Dorset based) many times and find them to extremely knowledgeable and professional. You cannot go wrong with Ekol, or their other brand, Saltfire.

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.

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.
