MI Fires Skiddaw Eco Design 5kW Woodburning Stove

The MI Fires Skiddaw 5 kW EcoDesign Woodburning Stove is an elegant, high-efficiency heater designed for small to medium rooms. It delivers a nominal heat output of 5.0 kW, paired with an excellent efficiency rating of 85.1%, meaning more of the energy from your logs is converted into usable heat and less is lost. Fully DEFRA approved and compliant with EcoDesign 2022 standards, it’s a stove that meets the modern requirements for low emissions, cleaner air, and legal use in smoke-controlled areas.
Its design blends strength and style. The body is built from durable steel with a cast-iron door that enhances heat retention. The firebox is lined with 30 mm vermiculite panels, helping to insulate the chamber and improve combustion efficiency. A single air control slider makes it easy to set the burn, while primary, secondary, and tertiary air supplies ensure optimal combustion and reduced emissions. An airwash system keeps the large viewing window clean, letting you enjoy the flame without frequent maintenance.
The Skiddaw offers flexible installation with both top and rear 125 mm (5-inch) flue outlets, making it adaptable to existing chimneys. Its compact external dimensions are approx. 530 mm height, 410 mm width, 332 mm depth, with a weight of about 64 kg. Log length capacity is around 250 mm, enough to give solid burn times without over-sizing. Clearances to combustible materials are about 400 mm to the sides and 250 mm to the rear, and it can be sited on a 12 mm non-combustible hearth, making it suitable for many smaller fireplaces or freestanding applications.
With an A+ energy rating, ultra-low particulate emissions (dust ~13 mg/m³), and a sleek profile with a portrait glass window, the Skiddaw not only performs efficiently but also acts as a stylish focal point. Its slim cast-iron door frame provides a panoramic view of the fire, and the steel body and matte black finish give a modern yet timeless look. Whether you need a reliable stove for a snug, cottage, or secondary heating, the Skiddaw makes an excellent choice—combining outstanding thermal performance, clean burn credentials, and attractive aesthetics.
