Description
For a study, cottage lounge or snug, the Charnwood Aire 3 is sized just right. It is a small wood burning stove with an oversized glass window, set on a low stand so it sits neatly in a hearth or out in the room. If you are after a stand alone fireplace indoor for a cottage, flatlet, cabin or study, this is one of the most efficient choices we sell.
Charnwood Aire 3 Low Stand Features
Made for small spaces
A big stove in a small room runs too hot or gets turned down until it smokes. The Aire 3 has a nominal output of 3.7kW with a range of 1.5 to 5kW, so it gives comfortable warmth in a room of about 35 m2 without overheating it.
Very efficient burning
Our listing gives 84% efficiency, which is high for a wood stove. More of each log becomes heat, so you burn less wood. It meets Eco-Design 2022 standards and carries a ClearSkies 5 rating for low emissions.
A big window on a small stove
The oversized ceramic glass gives a wide view of the flames, which is unusual on a stove this size. The firebox is lined with fire brick, and the body combines cast iron and steel.
Easy to place
The Aire 3 measures 30.6 x 38.4 x 50 cm and weighs 62 kg. It takes a 125 mm flue from the top or rear, and comes in colours including black, almond, blue, bronze, brown, green, gunmetal and pewter.
Is the Aire 3 right for your home?
Charnwood rates it for about 35 m2. That suits a small lounge, a bedroom suite, a garden studio or a holiday cabin. For an open-plan family room, look at a larger model in our freestanding fireplaces range, or read about the types of standalone fireplace.

Charnwood Aire 3 FAQs
Is the Aire 3 a slow combustion fireplace?
Yes. It is a closed, controlled-air wood stove, which is what most South Africans call a slow combustion fireplace. You set the air to control how fast the wood burns.
Can it go into my existing fireplace?
Yes, its small size suits most traditional hearths. We line the chimney or fit a flue through it so the stove draws properly.
