Why choose the Charnwood Bembridge?
The Bembridge is designed for customers who want a stove that feels traditional, well-made and elegant, but still meets modern expectations for performance, emissions and day-to-day usability.
Traditional style with modern performance
The Bembridge has the appearance of a classic country stove, with a framed door, refined detailing and a choice of finishes. It suits cottages, townhouses, farmhouse interiors and living rooms where a softer traditional look is preferred over a stark contemporary stove.
5kW nominal output
At 5kW nominal output, the Bembridge is suitable for many standard UK living rooms. The final choice should always be checked against room size, insulation, fireplace dimensions, chimney draw and ventilation requirements.
Cleanburn and airwash
Charnwood lists the Bembridge with Cleanburn Airwash Technology, helping support cleaner combustion and a clearer view of the fire when the stove is lit, fuelled and operated correctly.
Good for smoke control areas
The Bembridge is listed by Charnwood as DEFRA exempt for burning wood in smoke control areas. That makes it a strong option for customers in York and other controlled areas, subject to correct fuel and installation.
Flexible installation options
The Bembridge can be specified with useful installation accessories, including a vertical rear flue adaptor, rear heatshield and external air option where suitable.
Built for long-term ownership
Charnwood appliances are supported by established spares, technical documentation and dealer support. Hot Box can help with supply, installation advice, stove care and future maintenance items.

Smoke Control • EcoDesign • Fuel
Smoke control and correct fuel
The Bembridge is listed as DEFRA exempt for burning wood in smoke control areas, but correct installation and correct fuel use still matter. Always use the appliance in line with the Charnwood instructions.
For wood burning, use dry, seasoned or kiln-dried logs with a moisture content of 20% or below. Wet logs reduce performance, increase smoke and can contribute to deposits within the flue.
Good stove use
- Use Ready to Burn logs
- Do not burn treated timber, painted wood or waste
- Use a moisture meter to check logs
- Keep the stove and throat plate clean
- Have the chimney swept regularly
- Follow the Charnwood user instructions for your exact model
Clean Lighting • No Kindling
Lighting your Charnwood Bembridge with Hot Box ® Firestarter
A clean-burning stove performs best when it is lit properly with dry fuel and good airflow. Hot Box ® Firestarter is designed to help light wood burning stoves without kindling, making it a useful companion product for Bembridge owners.
Place the firestarter in the firebox, add suitable dry logs as directed, light the firestarter and keep the air controls open during start-up. Once the fire is established, adjust the controls in line with the Charnwood user instructions.
- No kindling required
- Simple stove lighting
- Works best with dry logs at 20% moisture or below
- Useful for wood burners, fireplaces, fire pits and outdoor cooking
Lighting tip
Do not reduce the air too early. Let the flue warm and the logs establish before turning the stove down for steady operation.
