The MI-Fire Tinderbox Small 4.9kW Ecodesign Multi Fuel Stove is a compact British-designed stove built to offer strong efficiency, flexible fuel choice and modern compliance in a practical smaller format. With its 4.9kW output, 83% efficiency, A+ energy rating, Ecodesign 2022 compliance and Smoke Control Area Exempt status, it is a highly capable option for customers wanting a compact multifuel stove without compromising on performance.
The Small Tinderbox Multifuel Stove is designed for homes that want the flexibility to burn more than one fuel type while keeping the appliance size manageable for smaller rooms and fireplace openings. Its compact format makes it especially attractive for snug rooms, cottages, smaller living areas and installations where a full-size multifuel stove would feel too large or too powerful for the space.
Built with a steel body and cast iron door, the stove balances practical modern stove construction with the visual reassurance of more traditional materials. The steel body helps keep the appliance responsive and durable, while the cast iron door adds a more classic fireside character to the front of the stove. The result is a design that feels versatile enough for both traditional and contemporary homes.
One of the most appealing parts of this model is its 83% efficiency and A+ energy rating, which place it strongly in terms of performance for a compact multifuel stove. Combined with Smoke Control Area Exempt status and Ecodesign 2022 compliance, it offers customers a stove that is not only flexible in fuel choice, but also aligned with current expectations around cleaner burning and more efficient operation.
From an installation perspective, the stove offers both top and rear flue outlet positions and is suitable for a 12mm hearth, which can be especially useful in the right setting. Clearances to combustibles and non-combustibles, along with hearth and furniture projection requirements, are clearly defined to support installation planning.
