MI-Fire Skiddaw Wood Burning Stove

Description

The MI-Fire Skiddaw Wood Burning Stove is a British-designed 5kW wood burner built to deliver outstanding efficiency, low emissions and practical everyday heating in a clean, versatile format. With its 85.1% efficiency, A+ energy rating, Ecodesign 2022 compliance and Smoke Control Area Exempt status, it is a strong option for customers wanting a modern wood stove with excellent clean-burning credentials and a room-friendly output.

Positioned within the MI-Fire Lakes range, the Skiddaw Wood Stove sits in one of the most practical categories for domestic heating. A 5kW output makes it well suited to many standard living rooms, snug spaces and fireplace settings, providing useful warmth without pushing the stove into a larger output class than many homes require. This makes it an especially attractive choice for customers who want a strong all-round wood burner with modern performance and broad installation appeal.

Built from a steel body with a cast iron door, the stove balances robust modern construction with the more familiar character of traditional stove materials. The steel body supports efficient heat performance and long-term durability, while the cast iron door adds visual weight and classic fireside appeal. This gives the Skiddaw a look that can work comfortably in both contemporary interiors and more traditional homes.

One of the standout qualities of the MI-Fire Skiddaw is its efficiency and emissions performance. With 85.1% efficiency, an A+ energy rating and low 13% dust emissions, it is presented as one of the most efficient stoves of its size in the UK, while also offering some of the lowest particulate levels available in its class. For customers who want the ambience of a real wood burner with stronger environmental performance, this is a major selling point.

From an installation perspective, the stove is suitable for a 12mm hearth, which can be a useful practical advantage in the right setting. Clearance requirements to combustible and non-combustible materials, as well as hearth and furniture distances, are clearly stated to support planning. The listed specification data appears to contain an error where the top spigot outlet measurement is shown as A+, so that particular dimension would need confirming separately before installation.
