The Hunter Herald Allure 5 wood burning stove is a 5kW nominal output stove with an operating range of 5–6kW, 80% efficiency and an A energy rating. Its relatively broad 494mm body, large viewing window and concealed handle give the Allure 5 a restrained appearance, while the top or rear flue connection provides useful flexibility when planning the installation.
The Allure 5 is designed around a clear, uninterrupted view of the fire. The hidden door handle keeps the front of the stove visually simple, allowing the glass and flame picture to remain the dominant feature rather than introducing prominent external controls or hardware.
Performance is centred around a 5kW nominal heat output, with a stated output range of 5–6kW. This gives a useful degree of control around its nominal rating, while the room size, insulation and overall heat requirement should still be considered when specifying the stove.
Efficiency on wood is rated at 80%, with an A energy efficiency rating. The stove is also Eco Design 2022 approved and DEFRA Smoke Control Exempt, alongside a stated CO emissions figure of 0.10% at 13% O2.
Hunter equips the Allure 5 with both Cleanburn and an airwash system for the glass. The airwash is particularly relevant to the stove’s large viewing window, helping support a clearer view of the fire during use.
A maximum log length of 400mm gives the firebox capacity for substantial logs within the manufacturer’s stated limit. For installation planning, the 5-inch flue outlet can be connected from either the top or rear, allowing the final flue route to be considered alongside the fireplace opening and stove position.
A direct air kit is available as an option, providing another consideration where combustion air is being incorporated into the overall installation design. Hunter also offers both short and long stove benches for customers who want to position the Allure 5 on a raised, wider base rather than using a more conventional hearth-level presentation.

Expert Insight
At 494mm wide with a 5kW nominal output, the Allure 5 combines a relatively broad stove format with an output that can suit projects where the visual proportions of the appliance are as important as its heat requirement. The choice of top or rear flue outlet is also useful during fireplace design, as it gives more scope to coordinate the stove position with the available flue route.
Suitability
The Hunter Allure 5 suits customers looking for a 5kW wood burning stove with a broad viewing window, understated controls and a straightforward contemporary appearance. It can work particularly well in fireplace openings where a wider stove body is visually preferable, while the optional stove benches provide an alternative for more architectural freestanding installations.
Installation / Technical Notes
The Allure 5 uses a 5-inch flue outlet, with both top and rear connection positions available. A 100mm direct air kit is offered as an optional accessory, while short and long stove benches are also available for alternative installation layouts.
