Description
Big rooms need a fire with real muscle. The Northern Flame Mithras is a fully cast iron, 14kW multi fuel stove built for large living areas, and it is the most powerful of the new Northern Flame cast iron models, above the Hestia and the Snug Cast Iron. If your open-plan space never feels warm enough with a smaller stove, the Mithras is made for that job.
Northern Flame Mithras Cast Iron Stove Features
Cast iron mass for even warmth
At 144 kg, the Mithras has plenty of iron to soak up heat during the burn and release it slowly once the fire calms down. That gives a steady, comfortable room temperature instead of hot and cold swings, and it keeps the lounge warm well into the evening.
Cleaner, longer burns
Primary and secondary air are adjustable, with a fixed tertiary air supply that helps burn off smoke and gases before they leave the stove. The result is more heat from each load, fewer trips to the wood pile and a stable fire over long burns. The model is Ecodesign certified, and the maker lists efficiency at 81.00%.
A window you will want to sit by
The large glass takes up most of the front, so the flames become the focal point of the room. An airwash system sweeps air across the glass to slow down soot build-up and cut back on cleaning.
Fuel and flue flexibility
As a cast iron multi fuel stove, it handles seasoned wood, anthracite, briquettes, eco logs and other approved solid fuels. The flue can leave from the top or the rear, at 130 mm or 180 mm, which helps when the stove has to fit an existing chimney or a tricky ceiling layout. It measures 64 x 46 x 79.8 cm.
Is the Mithras right for your home?
Northern Flame rates the Mithras for spaces over 100 m2, so it is a true large room fireplace for open-plan homes, double volume lounges and farmhouse living rooms. In a small lounge it would run too hot, so a smaller model may suit you better. Send us your room size and we will help you choose, or compare the full range of freestanding fireplaces.

Northern Flame Mithras FAQs
Is the Mithras 14kW too big for a normal lounge?
For an average lounge, probably yes. It is meant for spaces above 100 m2 or rooms with high ceilings. In a smaller room you would keep turning it down, which wastes its strength. We will gladly suggest a better sized model.
Can the Northern Flame Mithras run on anthracite?
Yes. It is a multi fuel stove, so anthracite, eco logs and briquettes are all fine along with dry wood. Approved fuels and seasoned logs give the cleanest burn and the best heat.
