The MI-Fire Medium 5kW FirePod Tall Wood Burning Stove is a cast iron wood burner designed to combine the familiar atmosphere of a traditional stove with a taller, more architectural silhouette. With its 5kW heat output, A energy rating, Ecodesign 2022 Ready certification and distinctive retro-inspired styling, it offers a strong visual presence for customers wanting a stove that feels both characterful and more design-led.
The Tall FirePod takes the core FirePod design and stretches it vertically, giving the stove a much stronger freestanding identity in the room. Its rounded square body and sharper angular accents create a subtle retro feel, while the taller proportions make the appliance feel more like a sculptural room feature than a standard compact stove. This makes it particularly well suited to interiors where the stove needs to stand confidently on its own rather than simply sit inside a more traditional fireplace opening.
Constructed in full cast iron, the stove has the solid, enduring feel that many customers still value in a wood burner. Cast iron not only reinforces the traditional character of the appliance, but also helps provide a durable and substantial build quality. At 123kg, the Tall FirePod has a strong, weighty presence that reflects its more prominent format and premium construction.
In performance terms, the stove offers a 5kW nominal output, placing it in one of the most popular heating categories for domestic rooms. Its 75.8% efficiency, A energy rating and Ecodesign 2022 Ready status help ensure the stove combines classic material qualities with more modern environmental standards. It is also described as being suitable for use in Smoke Control Areas, which adds further practical appeal for many homes.
From an installation perspective, the Tall FirePod uses a top flue outlet only, with the centre of the outlet sitting 100mm from the rear of the stove. It is also suitable for a 12mm hearth, which can be useful in the right installation. Clearance distances are clearly stated for both combustible and non-combustible materials, along with hearth projection and furniture distance requirements, helping make planning more straightforward.
