Description
Some fireplaces blend in. The Sentinel 943 Grande is meant to be noticed. It is a heavy, traditional cast iron stove with decorative side panels and a broad stance, built for big rooms that need strong, steady heat through a long winter.
Sentinel 943 Grande Fireplace Features
A 14kW fireplace for large spaces
With 14kW of output and a 144 m2 heating area, the Grande has the power for open-plan homes, farmhouse lounges and rooms with high ceilings. The 130 kg cast iron body soaks up heat and gives it back slowly, so the room stays warm well after the fire settles.
True multi fuel
As a multi fuel fireplace it burns wood or coal. A lever shakes the multi fuel grate to drop ash, which keeps air reaching the coals. When good wood is scarce, coal gives you a long, hot burn.
Room for long logs
The vermiculite lined firebox takes logs of up to 55 centimetres, so you spend less time splitting wood. Primary and secondary air controls let you run a lively fire or a slow, steady one, and a removable ash pan keeps cleaning simple.
Flexible flue position
The 150 mm flue can leave from the top or the rear, which helps when the stove needs to sit in front of an existing chimney. The unit measures 49.5 x 72 x 67 cm and runs at 75% efficiency. Stainless steel handle and levers add a quality finish.
Is the Grande right for your home?
Sentinel rates it for about 144 m2, so it is best for a large or open-plan space. In a small lounge it would be too much heat. Tell us your room size and we will help you pick the right model from our freestanding fireplaces.

Sentinel 943 Grande FAQs
Can the Sentinel 943 Grande burn coal?
Yes. It is a multi fuel cast iron fireplace with a shaker grate, so it handles wood and coal. Use one fuel at a time and follow the loading guide we give you at handover.
Can I connect it to my existing chimney?
Often, yes. The rear flue option makes it easier to place the stove in front of an old fireplace opening. We inspect the chimney first and fit a liner if needed.
