The MI-Fire Solway Large 8kW Multi Fuel Stove is a robust British-designed stove built for customers who want stronger heat output, multi-fuel flexibility and straightforward traditional styling. With its 8kW output, Ecodesign 2022 compliance and Smoke Control Area Exempt status, it is a practical choice for larger rooms and homes needing a dependable stove that can burn either wood logs or approved smokeless mineral fuel.
Designed in the UK, the Solway Large combines a high-grade steel body with a durable cast iron door, giving it a solid and practical construction that balances strength with classic stove character. This combination of materials helps the stove feel substantial and reliable, while the cast iron door adds a more traditional visual quality to the front of the appliance.
As a multifuel stove, the Solway Large offers useful day-to-day flexibility. It achieves 79.6% efficiency when burning wood logs and the same 79.6% efficiency when burning approved smokeless mineral fuel, making it a strong option for customers who want a stove capable of adapting to different fuel preferences without compromising overall performance. This versatility can be especially useful in homes where fuel choice may vary depending on availability, convenience or heating preference.
The stove is also equipped with independent primary and secondary air controls, designed to be easy to use and highly controllable. This gives the user better command over combustion and burn behaviour, helping the stove feel more manageable in everyday use. An outside air option comes as standard, which is another useful advantage, especially for more modern properties or installations where external air supply may be beneficial.
With an 8kW nominal output, the Solway Large is better suited to spaces that need more heating presence than a smaller 5kW model would typically provide. Its clearly defined installation data includes both top and rear flue outlet positions, as well as stated clearances to combustibles and non-combustibles. It is not suitable for a 12mm hearth, which is an important planning point for installation.
