About this product

The NRG 5KW Wood-Burning Stove offers a robust solution for heating small rooms, particularly those where a traditional aesthetic is desired. Constructed of high quality cast iron, this stove is built to withstand regular use and deliver consistent warmth. Its compact dimensions – measuring 603 x 477 x 464mm – make it suitable for smaller living spaces without overwhelming the room’s proportions.

This wood-burning stove is designed with modern environmental considerations in mind. It's 2022 Eco Design Ready and DEFRA approved, meaning it can be used confidently within smoke control areas. The 5kW output provides sufficient warmth for typical UK living rooms. The standout feature of this model is its distinctive finish: an antique bronze cast-iron exterior which contrasts beautifully with a standard black stove design.

The NRG 5KW Wood-Burning Stove benefits from being DEFRA approved, allowing you to use it in areas where smoke emissions are strictly regulated. It’s designed for wood burning only and offers a practical heating solution. However, the manufacturer recommends professional HETAS installation for optimal performance and safety – this is particularly important given its 5kW output.

For those seeking a traditional warmth with a touch of character, this stove presents an appealing option. Please note that while it’s positioned within a budget price tier, professional installation is strongly recommended to ensure correct setup and operation.
