Description
The Northern Flame Snug with Stand takes the well known Ecosy+ Snug stove and lifts it onto a stand, so the fire sits higher in the room and is easier to load and clean. You get a strong 10kW of heat, an 80.80% efficiency rating and a large window framed by brushed steel handle and levers. For anyone shopping for a stand alone fireplace indoor living areas can be built around, it is a neat, modern choice.
Northern Flame Snug with Stand Features
Built to burn clean
The Snug is a closed combustion fireplace designed for the strict UK market, and it meets the Eco-Design 2022 rules for both wood and smokeless fuel. Far less smoke leaves your chimney than with an open fire or an older stove. Warm air is drawn down across the inside of the window, which helps keep the glass clear so you watch flames, not soot.
A wide output range
The Snug runs from about 4.7kW on a gentle burn up to 10.2kW when you open it right up. On a mild autumn evening you can let it tick over, then turn it up when a cold front rolls in over the mountain.
Cast iron door, steel body
The body pairs a heavy cast iron door with a steel shell and measures 38.8 x 47 x 80 cm on its stand. The 125 mm flue can leave from the top or the rear, which gives our installers more options where a sloping ceiling or an existing chimney limits the route.
Is the Northern Flame Snug right for your home?
Northern Flame rates the Snug at 10kW for a heating area of about 96 m2. That covers a large lounge or an open-plan living and dining space with a normal ceiling. Double-volume rooms, big sliding doors and poor insulation all reduce what any stove can cover, so send us your room size and a few photos and we will confirm the fit. You can also compare it with our other freestanding fireplaces.

Northern Flame Snug FAQs
Can the Snug burn coal as well as wood?
Yes, it is a multi fuel stove. Wood burns best on a flat bed of ash with air coming in above the fire, while smokeless coal needs air from below through the grate. The two air levers let you set it up for either fuel in a few seconds.
What does the stand add?
The firebox and stove body stay the same. The stand simply raises the unit, so the flames sit closer to eye level when you are seated, and loading wood or emptying the ash pan is easier on your back.
How efficient is the Northern Flame Snug?
It carries an 80.80% efficiency rating, so most of the heat from the fire ends up in your room rather than going up the flue. Over a full winter that means fewer bags of wood for the same comfort.
