Description
For a smaller lounge, the Charnwood Cranmore 5 is one of the cleanest ways to burn wood. It has a classic shape, a wide window for a compact stove and Charnwood’s BLU burn technology, which goes well beyond the 2022 Eco-design rules. The result is a fire that is easy to run, kind to your wood pile and low on smoke.
Charnwood Cranmore 5 Features
BLU technology for a cleaner fire
BLU is Charnwood’s combustion system for a more complete burn. It also meets Defra exemption limits, which allow wood to be burnt in UK smoke control areas. For you, that means a clean burning wood stove with less smoke and soot on the glass.
High efficiency
Charnwood rates the Cranmore at 84% efficiency, among the best figures in its class. More of each log becomes heat in the room, so you buy and carry less wood.
One lever to control it
A single push-pull lever manages the air and the burn rate, and Cleanburn air wash helps keep the glass clear. A sliding fire bed makes ash removal quick and tidy.
Size and flue
Like every Charnwood fireplace, it is solidly made. It weighs 85 kg and measures 40.3 x 47 x 65.1 cm, built from cast iron and steel. The flue can exit from the top or rear through a 150 mm pipe.
Is the Cranmore 5 right for your home?
Charnwood gives a heating area of about 48 m2, so as a 5kW fireplace it suits a small lounge, cottage, study or bedroom. For a large open-plan space, look at bigger units in our freestanding fireplaces range. Our guide to chimney stoves covers more options.
Installation in Cape Town
Our team supplies and installs the Cranmore 5 with a 150 mm flue, cowl and roof flashing suited to Cape wind and winter rain, and we provide the compliance certificate. See our fireplace installation in Cape Town service or the full Charnwood range.
Charnwood Cranmore 5 FAQs
Is a 5kW fireplace enough for my lounge?
For a room up to about 48 m2, yes. The Cranmore 5 can also turn down to 2kW for mild evenings. Larger or very open rooms need a bigger stove.
What makes the Cranmore 5 so clean burning?
Its BLU combustion system and controlled air supply burn the wood more fully. It exceeds the 2022 Eco-design standards and meets Defra exemption limits.
