Description
Tall, rounded and unmistakably modern, the Kratki AB/S is a freestanding fireplace that stands out from the usual box stove. Its oval steel body is made from boilerplate steel, with a cast iron grate inside, and it burns wood with an output range of 6kW to 11kW. It suits a contemporary lounge where the stove is meant to be seen.
Kratki AB/S Freestanding Fireplace Features
A slim, upright shape
The AB/S measures 42.2 x 52.8 x 105.2 cm. The tall, oval form takes up little floor space and draws the eye upward, so it works well in a corner or a narrow living area.
Boilerplate steel and a cast iron grate
The thick steel body warms up quickly, which is handy on chilly evenings when you want heat fast. The cast iron grate holds up to constant heat and gives the fire a solid base. At 108 kg, it is a sturdy steel wood stove.
Adjustable output
With a 6kW to 11kW range, you can run a small, gentle fire for a mild evening or open it up when a cold front comes through.
Flexible flue connection
A 130 mm flue can connect at the top or the rear. A rear connection is useful when the flue needs to go through a wall or into an existing chimney.
Is the AB/S right for your home?
Kratki gives a heating area of 85 m² for this model, which suits a medium to large lounge with a normal ceiling. Compare this Kratki fireplace with other options on our Kratki page and in our freestanding fireplaces range.

Kratki AB/S FAQs
Can the Kratki AB/S go into an existing home?
Yes. As a freestanding unit it needs only a hearth and a flue route, so it is one of the easier ways to add a fire to a house without major building work.
Top or rear flue: which is better?
A top flue is the simplest and draws well. A rear flue suits a wall exit or an old chimney. We choose based on your room and roof.
