Description
Simple lines and honest heat are what the Sentinel Ottawa Square 9 does best. This freestanding wood fireplace has a plain square body that fits modern and older homes alike, and like all Sentinel fireplaces it is built for daily use, a cast iron door with a good view of the flames, and enough output to keep a family lounge warm through a Cape Town winter.
Sentinel Ottawa Square 9 Features
Steel body, cast iron door
The steel body warms up quickly once the fire is lit, while the cast iron door adds weight and durability where the stove works hardest. It is a practical combination for everyday use.
9kW of steady warmth
With a 9kW output and 80% efficiency, the Ottawa Square 9 turns most of your firewood into heat for the room. You use less wood than an open fireplace and get far more warmth from each load.
Compact square fireplace
It measures 56 x 55 x 36.7 cm, so it sits comfortably on a standard hearth and does not dominate the room. The square fireplace shape also lines up neatly against a wall or in a corner.
Top or rear flue
The 125 mm flue can leave through the top or the back. A top exit runs straight up through the ceiling, while a rear exit can connect to an existing chimney.
Is the Ottawa Square 9 right for your home?
Sentinel rates it for a heating volume of about 338 m3, which covers a medium to large lounge with a standard ceiling height. Rooms with lots of glass or high ceilings need more, so send us your room size and we will check. Browse more freestanding fireplaces or the full Sentinel range to compare.

Sentinel Ottawa Square 9 FAQs
Is the Ottawa Square 9 a slow combustion fireplace?
Yes. It is a closed combustion stove, so you control the air to slow the burn down. That gives you longer, steadier heat and less wood used compared with an open fire.
How often does it need cleaning?
Empty the ash when it builds up and wipe the glass when needed. We recommend a flue sweep once a year, ideally before winter, to keep it burning safely.
