Small Log Burners | Hot Box ® Stoves

Small log burners are ideal for a range of applicaitons and are usually appliances that are up to 5kw in terms of output.

Along with their rated output, they may also be small in stature making them the go to appliances for a range of applications where space is at a premium.

Small log burners can be used for the following applications.

1. Boats | If you are looking for a log burner for a boat, you will usually need one which does not produce a huge amount of heat and is dimensionally smaller.
2. Shepherd Hut | Small log buners are ideal for appicaiotns such as Shepherds Huts where space is at a premu=ium but an off grid heat source is needed to provide warmth within the shelter.
3. Small recesses | If youf fireplace recess is restricted in sie, and you dont want to undertake massive structural alterations which can be expensive and disruptive, a small log burner may be for you.
4. Garden rooms | In recent years, many of us have constructed additional space to provide additional office accomodation in our gardens. As a result, there is often a need for an additional heat source which can be used to heat the space during colder months. Small wood burners are ideal for garden buildings and can be connected using a twin wall flue system quickly and cost effectively.

Remember, even if you are choosing a small wood burning stove, it is always prudent to consider professional installaiton using a HETAS registered installer.

Further, you will still need to consider annual maintenance and find a local chimney sweep to provide this service.
