The Cast Tec Cougar Eco Plus Multi-Fuel Inset Stove is designed to convert a traditional fireplace opening into a more efficient and controllable source of heat. Built from cast iron and finished in Matt Black, it combines a large viewing window with multi-fuel capability and a compact inset format.
The Cougar Eco Plus can burn either seasoned wood or suitable smokeless fuel, with a nominal output of 4.6kW on wood and 4.8kW on anthracite. It is also DEFRA smoke control exempt and EcoDesign Ready.
Inset Multi-Fuel Stove
Designed to sit within a suitable fireplace opening, the Cougar Eco Plus is a practical option for replacing an open fire with a more efficient solid-fuel appliance.
Its inset format keeps the appliance neatly contained within the fireplace while the large front glass provides a clear view of the flames.
Wood Or Smokeless Fuel
The integrated multi-fuel grate allows the stove to burn both seasoned wood and suitable smokeless fuels, giving greater flexibility over the type of fuel used.
Heat Output
Heat output varies slightly depending on the fuel:
- Wood: 4.6kW nominal output
- Anthracite: 4.8kW nominal output
This output makes the Cougar Eco Plus suitable for many standard-sized rooms.
Fuel Efficiency
The supplied technical specification lists the following efficiency figures:
- Wood Efficiency: 76.8%
- Smokeless Fuel Efficiency: 79.2%
Cast Iron Construction
The stove is constructed from cast iron, giving it a substantial feel and traditional appearance while providing the durability expected from a regularly used solid-fuel appliance.
Convection Chamber
An integrated steel convection chamber helps circulate heat into the room by drawing in cooler air, warming it around the appliance and releasing it through vents positioned above the stove door.
Airwash System
The secondary Airwash system directs air across the inside of the glass to help reduce deposits and maintain a clearer view of the flames during normal use.
Primary Air Control
A primary air control located on the stove door allows the combustion rate to be adjusted, helping the user manage the fire according to the fuel being burned and the level of heat required.
External Riddling Grate
The multi-fuel grate includes an external riddling control, allowing ash to be shaken through the grate for easier ash management when burning suitable solid fuels.
DEFRA Smoke Control Exempt
The Cougar Eco Plus is DEFRA smoke control exempt, allowing wood to be burned in smoke control areas when the stove is installed and operated in accordance with the manufacturer’s requirements.
EcoDesign Ready
The stove is listed as EcoDesign Ready, combining the traditional appearance of an inset stove with modern combustion performance.
Top Flue Connection
The Cougar Eco Plus uses a 125mm / 5″ top flue outlet for connection to a suitable chimney or flue system.
