Description
If you like a fire at a comfortable viewing height, the Sentinel Ottawa Square 9 with log stand is worth a look. The firebox sits on a matching stand with space below for firewood, so the stove stands taller in the room and your logs stay neat and dry within reach. It is a tidy, modern take on the classic square box stove, and a good Ottawa fireplace option for buyers who want the fire raised without building a plinth.
Sentinel Ottawa Square 9 with Log Stand Features
Raised fire, built-in log store
The log stand raises the fire to 76 cm overall height, which puts the flames closer to eye level when you sit on the couch. The open space underneath doubles as a log store, so there is no need for a separate wood basket next to the hearth.
Strong output for its size
The output range of 9kW to 12kW gives you room to run a gentle fire on a mild evening or open it up on the coldest nights of July. At 80% efficiency, most of the wood you load turns into useful heat.
Cast iron and steel
The body pairs a steel shell with cast iron parts, a mix that heats up quickly and still holds warmth well after the fire settles.
Flexible flue routing
The 125 mm flue can exit from the top or the rear. That makes it easier to place the stove against a wall or to connect into an existing chimney. The unit measures 76 x 55 x 36.7 cm.
Is the Ottawa Square 9 right for your home?
Sentinel lists a heating area of 87 m2, so it suits medium to large lounges and smaller open-plan living areas with a normal ceiling. For double volume spaces, ask us about a larger stove. Compare it with our other freestanding fireplaces or the full range of Sentinel fireplaces.
Installation in Cape Town
We supply and install the stove with the correct 125 mm flue, cowl and roof flashing for Cape wind and winter rain, and we take care of the compliance certificate. Read about our fireplace installation service.
Ottawa Square 9 FAQs
How does the Sentinel Square range compare?
The Sentinel Square stoves share the same clean box shape in different sizes. The Ottawa Square 9 gives more output than the smaller Square 8, and the log stand adds height and storage. We can show you both side by side.
What is the difference between the Ottawa Square 9 and the log stand version?
The firebox and output are the same. The log stand version sits on a base with wood storage, which raises the fire and gives it more presence. The standard model is lower and suits a raised hearth.
What fuel should I burn?
Use dry, seasoned hardwood. Wet wood smokes, blackens the glass and coats the flue with tar, so keep your logs under cover for a few months before use.
