The Stûv 30-in Basic wood burning inset stove is a built-in 9.5 kW fire designed to integrate discreetly into the architecture of the room while still delivering high heat output and flexible day-to-day operation. As the basic model of the Stûv 30-in range, it combines a restrained inset appearance with Stûv’s distinctive 3-door system, giving you multiple ways to use the same fire depending on the moment.
A defining feature of this model is the rotating 3-door system. By pivoting the drum, you can bring the required door to the front of the stove opening in seconds. The glass door provides a wide view of the flames with strong output and efficient closed-door operation. The solid door slows the fire, optimises performance and cuts off radiated heat, while also protecting the glass from getting dirty and concealing the firebox when the stove is not in use. The loading door allows you to refill the stove safely and can also be used when you want to enjoy the more immediate radiated heat of an open fire. This makes the Stûv 30-in much more adaptable than a standard single-door inset appliance.
The stove is designed for projects where heat needs to be managed as well as produced. It supports hot air distribution, with or without an optional fan, allowing warmed air to be directed more effectively within the room. The optional telescopic riser can extend the visual line of the appliance up to the ceiling and can also act as part of the ventilation solution, reducing or avoiding the need for visible hot air grilles depending on the installation.
Performance is strong across the range. The Stûv 30-in has a nominal output of 9.5 kW, an output range of 4.6 to 13.5 kW, nominal efficiency of 80.8%, seasonal efficiency of 70.8%, fine particle emissions of 22 mg/Nm³ and CO emissions of 0.04%. It supports direct outside air connection, offers high airtightness, and is stated to conform with ECODESIGN 2022, BE Phase 3 and DEFRA. The firebox allows for either horizontal logs up to 50 cm or vertical logs up to 33 cm, giving more loading flexibility than many inset stoves.

Expert Insight
The most important feature here is not simply that the Stûv 30-in is built in, but that it gives a much higher level of control over both fire behaviour and heat management than a conventional inset stove. The solid door is particularly useful because it changes the heating character of the appliance, reducing direct radiant heat and protecting the glass when the flame view is not needed. That makes it easier to adapt the stove to different times of day and different heating needs.
The ventilation approach is also a major design advantage. The ability to direct hot air, with or without a fan, and the option of using a telescopic extension as part of the ventilation strategy can help create a much cleaner final installation. In more architectural interiors, that can be just as valuable as the stove’s heating performance.
Suitability
The Stûv 30-in is well suited to built-in fireplace projects, design-led renovations, energy-efficient homes and interiors where the fire needs to sit neatly within the wall while still providing substantial output. It is a strong choice for customers who want a premium inset wood burning stove with flexible operating modes, controlled hot air distribution and a cleaner built-in appearance than a freestanding stove can offer.
Installation / Technical Notes
The stove is made from steel and refractors and finished in Stûv grey. It has a 180 mm flue outlet, 150 mm hot-air outlets and a 100 mm outside air inlet. The stated weight is 200 kg. It supports manual loading, accepts horizontal logs up to 50 cm or vertical logs up to 33 cm, and has a nominal draw of 12 Pa, smoke mass flow of 9.2 g/s and average smoke temperature of 346°C. The supplied information also states a minimum safety distance of at least 800 mm in front of the appliance.
