The MI-Fire Tinderbox Medium Log Store 5kW Ecodesign Wood Burning Stove is a British-designed wood burner that combines exceptional efficiency, low emissions and the added practicality of an integrated log store base. With its 5kW rated power, 85.1% efficiency, A+ energy rating, Ecodesign 2022 compliance and Smoke Control Area Exempt status, it stands out as a highly capable stove for customers wanting both cleaner performance and a more refined freestanding fireside look.
This version of the Tinderbox sits on a dedicated log box base, giving the stove a taller and more complete visual profile in the room. That raised design not only creates useful storage for logs beneath the firebox, but also lifts the flame higher, helping the stove feel more prominent and better integrated as a design feature. It is a particularly attractive option for interiors where the stove needs to feel like a stronger focal point rather than a low, compact appliance.
Built from a steel body with a cast iron door, the stove balances robust modern construction with traditional stove character. The steel body helps deliver responsive heating and efficient performance, while the cast iron door adds a reassuring sense of durability and classic fireside appeal. This makes the Medium Tinderbox on Log Box well suited to both timeless and more contemporary interiors where efficiency matters just as much as appearance.
Performance is a major strength of this model. With 85.1% efficiency, A+ energy rating and very low 13% dust emissions, it is presented as one of the most efficient stoves of its size in the UK, while also offering some of the lowest particulate emissions currently available in its class. For customers looking for a wood-burning stove that pairs genuine flame ambience with stronger environmental credentials, this makes it an especially compelling choice.
With a 5kW output, the stove sits in one of the most useful categories for domestic heating, making it suitable for a broad range of living rooms, snug spaces and feature fireplace settings. It is also suitable for a 12mm hearth, which can be a practical installation benefit in the right setting. Although this model is currently listed as out of stock, it is noted as due in soon, making it a worthwhile option for customers planning ahead.
