The MI-Fire Tinderbox Small Log Store 4.9kW Ecodesign Wood Burning Stove is a British-designed wood burner that combines high-efficiency performance with a more elevated freestanding look and the added practicality of integrated log storage. With its 4.9kW rated power, 82.7% efficiency, A+ energy rating, Ecodesign 2022 compliance and Smoke Control Area Exempt status, it is a strong option for customers wanting a compact wood stove with cleaner-burning credentials and a more complete visual presence.
This version of the Tinderbox is set on a log box base, which changes the overall look and practicality of the stove in a meaningful way. Visually, the raised format gives the appliance more height and a stronger architectural stance in the room, helping it feel more deliberate as a design feature rather than simply a compact stove placed on a hearth. Practically, the integrated log box keeps firewood close to hand and helps create a tidier, more considered fireside arrangement.
The stove is designed in the UK and built from a steel body with a cast iron door, giving it a practical balance of modern construction and traditional stove character. The steel body helps support responsive heating and efficient performance, while the cast iron door adds more visual weight and familiar stove appeal at the front of the appliance. This makes it well suited to both classic interiors and more contemporary homes that still want the warmth and honesty of a real wood burner.
Performance is a key strength. With 82.7% efficiency, A+ energy rating and low particulate emissions, the Small Tinderbox on Log Box is presented as one of the most efficient stoves of its size in the UK, alongside exceptionally low dust output for its category. That makes it especially appealing for customers who want a compact wood stove that combines strong flame ambience with more advanced modern standards of cleaner combustion.
At 4.9kW, it is well suited to smaller and medium-sized living spaces where a practical wood stove is wanted without over-sizing the appliance for the room. It is also suitable for a 12mm hearth, which can be a useful installation advantage in the right setting. Clearance distances and hearth requirements are clearly stated to support planning and installation.
