Description
The Charnwood Aire 5 is built around one idea: a big view of the fire from a compact stove. The window is oversized for its class, the lines are minimal, and the store stand raises the stove so the flames sit at eye level with space below to keep logs. If you are shopping for a quality wood burning fireplace for sale in Cape Town, it is one of the most refined small stoves we supply.
Charnwood Aire 5 Store Stand Features
Boiler plate steel and cast iron
The body is boiler plate steel with a cast iron door and top. The mix gives fast warm-up and good heat retention, and Charnwood stoves are known for how easy they are to control. A warm-to-the-touch handle makes loading safe and simple.
High efficiency, wide range
At 84% efficiency, the Aire turns most of its wood into room heat. Output runs from 2kW to 7kW around a 5kW nominal rating, so it can tick over gently on a mild evening or work harder in mid-winter.
Wood only, easy to clean
The Aire is a dedicated wood burner. You build the fire directly on a double-skin ashpan, which makes clearing ash quick. An air wash system keeps the glass clearer, and one simple lever controls the air.
Flexible fitting
It measures 42.6 x 47 x 75.5 cm on the store stand and weighs 132 kg. The 150 mm flue can leave from the top or rear, and there is an outside air intake option.

Charnwood Aire 5 FAQs
What is the store stand on a Charnwood stove?
It is a raised base that lifts the stove off the hearth and leaves an open space below for storing logs. It puts the fire at a better viewing height and keeps kindling close at hand.
Does the Aire 5 come with a guarantee?
Charnwood gives a ten-year guarantee on the body of the Aire. Our team registers the stove and helps with any warranty question after the install.
Can the Aire burn coal?
No. It is a wood-only stove, made to burn dry, seasoned logs cleanly. Using coal or treated timber can damage it and void the guarantee.
