The MI-Fire Solway Medium 5kW Multi Fuel Stove is a British-designed stove built to offer everyday practicality, compact multi-fuel flexibility and strong performance in a popular 5kW format. With Ecodesign 2022 compliance, Smoke Control Area Exempt status and the ability to burn both wood logs and approved smokeless mineral fuel, it is a dependable option for customers wanting a straightforward stove with versatile fuel choice.
Designed in the UK, the Solway Medium combines a high-grade steel body with a durable cast iron door, giving it a solid and functional construction that balances strength with more traditional stove character. This material combination helps the appliance feel robust and practical, while the cast iron door gives the front of the stove a more classic visual weight.
As a multifuel stove, the Solway Medium offers useful adaptability depending on fuel preference and day-to-day use. It achieves 75.6% efficiency when burning wood logs and 86.5% efficiency when burning approved smokeless mineral fuel, making it especially attractive for customers who want the option to choose between fuels while still achieving strong overall performance. The higher efficiency figure on smokeless mineral fuel is also a notable advantage for homes where that fuel type is preferred.
The stove benefits from independent primary and secondary air controls, designed to be easy to use and highly controllable. This helps the user fine-tune combustion more effectively and supports a more manageable day-to-day burning experience. The outside air option comes as standard, which can be especially useful in installations where external combustion air is preferred or required.
With its 5kW output, the Solway Medium is well suited to a wide range of everyday living spaces where a stove needs to provide practical heat without moving into a larger output category. Installation data is clearly defined, with both top and rear flue outlet positions available, along with stated distances to combustible and non-combustible materials. It is not suitable for a 12mm hearth, which is an important point to allow for during planning.
