Description
The Carbel Maia Large proves a slim wood stove does not need to be bulky to heat a big room. It stands 106 cm tall but is only 46 cm wide and 37 cm deep, so it tucks neatly against a wall or into a corner, and its 11kW output warms a large lounge through a Cape winter. Clean lines and an anthracite grey finish keep it modern.
Carbel Maia Large Fireplace Features
Slow combustion for steady warmth
The Maia Large is a slow combustion stove. You control the air so the wood burns slowly and evenly, which gives long-lasting heat and less time spent reloading. A steady burn is also cleaner than a fire that roars and dies.
A slim shape that fits more homes
Its narrow profile is the main reason buyers choose it. In a townhouse, a lounge with lots of doors, or a room where floor space matters, a deep box stove can feel in the way. The Maia Large sits close and tall instead.
Mild steel body
Mild steel heats up quickly, so the room warms soon after you light the fire. That suits families who come home in the evening and want heat fast.
Simple flue connection
It takes a 150 mm flue from the top, which keeps the flue run straight and tidy through the ceiling and roof.
Is this Carbel stove right for your home?
Our specification lists a heating area of 105 m². That suits a large lounge or an open-plan living and dining area with normal ceilings. Very high ceilings or lots of glass reduce that figure, so send us your room size and photos first. You can also compare our other freestanding fireplaces.

Carbel Maia Large FAQs
Is the Maia Large good for a small room?
It is slim, but at 11kW it puts out a lot of heat. In a small room you would have to run it very low. It is best in larger lounges and open-plan spaces of around 105 m².
What is the difference between the Carbel Maia and Maia Large?
The Large is the bigger, higher output version. Ours is rated at 11kW with a 105 m² heating area. Ask our team and we will help you compare sizes for your room.
Does a slim stove heat as well as a box stove?
Heat comes from output and how well it burns, not the shape. The Maia Large gives 11kW, which is more than many wider stoves, so a slim design does not mean less warmth.
Short on floor space but need real heat? Ask our team about the Maia Large and we will advise on placement and flue.
