Bought our second stove off Stovefitters to add a little heat into a back room. We fitted this one ourselves using the instructions on the website. It was worth planning things out and thankfully it all went in nicely. The fitting kit was great as it had all the parts we needed and we used the whatsapp service to check any bits. If we need another fire we'll certainly go back.
This was my first woodburner, i was recommended to stovefitters warehouse by a friend who had excellent service. The stove and service was excellent and faultless.
I ordered on the Sunday afternoon and it was here all in one piece on Tuesday afternoon. Two days ahead of schedule.
The burner is fantastic as it has a good sized window and is a more modern look. Highly recommend stovefitters warehouse who kept me up to date on my order. Plus the free fan to go on top is well worth it.
Can't thank them enough and will definitely be recommending.

Amazing value for money
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.

Best selling stove during 2017/18
Budget stove that has often topped our best-sellers list.
"We were so impressed with our first St2 and twin wall flue fitted some 18 months ago that our choice when refurbishing our lounge was easy, so number two Saltfire ST2 complete with 5" twin walled flue was duly purchased from the Stovefitters Warehouse and fitted just in time for Christmas. The stoves clean lines and contemporary style make a real feature, efficient and economical, providing ample heat output and a real fire. The fixing kit, and adapters are high quality and the fitting instructions on the web site are amazing, so easy to follow.
I wouldn't hesitate in recommending this stove and liner combination and the service provided by Stovefitters warehouse." Martin Walker
Wood-only (can only burn wood)
Nominal 5kW. Max. 6kW
This stove will run happily at 2kW - 6kW 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
81.3% (as a rough guide 81.3% of heat goes to the room with 18.7% 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).
Steel stove (3-year body guarantee) with steel 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.
