Description
Raised up on its base, the Dovre Bow on Woodbase brings the flames closer to eye level when you sit on the couch. The Bow takes its name from its curved front, and the cast iron body gives off 9kW of steady heat. It is a good choice for a larger lounge where you want a fire that looks good from across the room.
Dovre Bow on Woodbase Features
Cast iron that keeps warming
At 140 kg there is plenty of cast iron to store heat. The room warms evenly and stays warm after the fire burns down, so you load less often and use less wood.
The woodbase
The woodbase lifts the firebox off the floor. That makes loading easier on the back, keeps the flames in view above coffee tables and gives the stove a solid, grounded look. Ask our team about using the space underneath for kindling or a few logs.
Size and flue
The Bow on Woodbase measures 46 x 70 x 86.5 cm and connects to a 150 mm flue. A 150 mm flue gives a good, strong draw, which helps the fire light easily and keeps the glass cleaner.
Is the Dovre Bow right for your home?
As a rough guide, a 9kW wood fireplace suits a larger lounge or open-plan room of about 70 to 120 m². High ceilings and big windows need more heat, so share your room size and we will confirm. You can compare the Bow with other models in our Dovre guide, every other Dovre fireplace and our other freestanding fireplaces.
Installation in Cape Town
Our team supplies and installs the Bow on Woodbase with a 150 mm flue, a cowl suited to Cape wind and roof flashing that keeps out the winter rain. We check that the floor and hearth carry the weight and that clearances meet the rules. See our fireplace installation service for more.
Dovre Bow FAQs
What is a woodbase on a fireplace?
It is a raised stand that the stove sits on instead of short legs. It lifts the fire to a better height for viewing and loading, and gives the stove a more solid look.
Is the Dovre Bow on Woodbase heavy?
Yes, it weighs 140 kg. Most floors carry it well on a proper hearth, and our installers bring the right equipment to move it in safely.
