Description
The Petit Godin Large Oval is the bigger model in Godin’s well-known oval range, and it is a real statement piece. Its tall oval body and decorative castings bring vintage Art Nouveau charm to a lounge, while the cast iron firebox delivers serious heat. If you love a fireplace with history and character, few stoves look as good on a cold winter night.
Petit Godin Large Oval Features
Cast iron heat that lingers
Godin builds the Large Oval almost entirely from enamelled cast iron. Cast iron warms steadily and keeps radiating heat long after the fire burns low, so the room stays comfortable for hours.
Multifuel flexibility
It burns both wood and coal. Wood gives a lively flame, while coal or anthracite gives a long, steady heat that is handy overnight or when good firewood is hard to find.
Secondary combustion
A secondary combustion system burns off gases that would otherwise go up the flue. You get a longer, cleaner and more efficient burn, with more heat from each load.
A view of the fire
The large glass door shows off the flames, and the classic oval shape looks good from every angle. It connects to a 125 mm flue.
Is the Petit Godin 10kW right for your home?
As a rough guide, an 8 to 10kW stove suits a larger lounge or an open-plan living area of about 70 to 120 m2 with a normal ceiling. High ceilings and big windows need more heat, so share your room size and we will confirm the fit. Compare it with other freestanding fireplaces, or read our guide to the Godin fireplace range.

Petit Godin FAQs
Can a Godin wood stove burn coal?
The Large Oval is a multifuel model, so yes, it burns wood and coal. Use the right fuel for the grate and never mix wet wood with coal, as it causes soot and poor burning.
Is the Godin stove hard to keep clean?
Not at all. The enamel wipes clean once the stove is cold, and the secondary burn keeps the glass clearer. Empty the ash regularly and sweep the flue once a year.
