Salamander Hobbit Stoves

Salamander Stoves are best known for the Hobbit, a compact stove designed for the amazing small spaces people are now building, restoring and enjoying across the UK.

From shepherd huts and canal boats to garden offices, workshops, tiny homes, beach cabins, horse boxes, yurts, pods and small fireplaces, the Hobbit has become a go-to stove where every millimetre matters.

Its traditional appearance makes it especially useful where a compact stove needs to sit comfortably within a period fireplace, small recess or characterful interior.

Hot Box ® supplies Salamander Hobbit Stoves and can help customers select the correct model, door finish, flue arrangement and installation route.

For smoke control areas, the Hobbit SE may be required where customers wish to burn wood. For properties outside smoke control zones, the standard Hobbit may be suitable depending on the intended use and installation.

As with all stove installations, the chimney, hearth, clearances, ventilation and final commissioning need to be considered properly.

Where Does The Hobbit Stove Work Best?

The Hobbit is designed for small spaces where a normal stove would be too large, too visually dominant or too powerful.

Popular applications include boats, shepherd huts, garden rooms, workshops, cabins, tiny homes, small lounges, fireplace recesses, caravans and off-grid spaces.

It is also useful where homeowners want to retain an existing decorative fireplace surround but need a compact appliance that will physically fit within the opening.

Standard Hobbit Or Hobbit SE?

The Hobbit is available in standard and SE versions. The SE model is intended for use in smoke control areas where wood burning is required.

If your property is located within a smoke control zone, it is important to select the correct appliance and operate it using suitable authorised fuels and dry firewood where applicable.

Hot Box ® can help customers understand which version is likely to be appropriate before ordering.
