The Rocal Habit 70a wood-burning stove with logstore is an 8.8kW contemporary stove designed for medium to larger rooms where efficient heating and clean modern styling are both important. With 85.3% efficiency, an A+ energy rating and ECO2022 Ready approval, it delivers strong wood-burning performance in a practical raised logstore format.
The logstore version adds useful firewood storage beneath the stove while giving the appliance a taller, more complete freestanding appearance. Its cubic proportions, black finish and large glass front make it suitable for a wide range of room layouts, from modern fireplace openings to more open freestanding installations.
With a nominal output of 8.8kW and an output range of 6–10.5kW, the Habit 70a is built for effective heat delivery without the scale of the larger high-output models. The 45cm log length allows for a generous fire picture, while the airwash system helps keep the glass clearer during use for a better view of the flames.
The stove supports an external air supply from the rear or base, giving useful installation flexibility. It also includes a reversible glass door, allowing the hinge to be set to the left as standard or changed to the right if that works better with the room layout.
Optional fan-assisted convection can be added to help push warm air further into the room for improved heat circulation in larger spaces. This option uses two fans and requires an electricity supply, while the standard natural convection version does not.
Premium Rocal flue pipe lengths are available in 49cm, 99cm and 198cm options. These are designed to give a more coordinated finish above the stove when a matching pipe is required.

Expert Insight
The Habit 70a is a useful middle-ground stove for customers who want a strong heat output and a large flame view without moving to a much wider appliance. The top flue only design, external air route and reversible door opening should be considered early, as they can affect the final installation layout. Fan-assisted convection may be worth specifying in more open rooms where heat needs to move further away from the stove.
Suitability
The Rocal Habit 70a wood-burning stove with logstore is best suited to medium and larger living rooms, contemporary fireplace projects and spaces where integrated log storage is required. It is ideal for customers wanting an efficient woodburner with a large glass front, generous 45cm log length, external air compatibility and a clean black finish.
