Description
Not every lounge needs a big stove, and the Dovre Tai 35W proves the point. It is a compact cast iron fireplace, a wood burning stove from Dovre with an output of 6.5kW, which is plenty for a small or medium room. The neat size means it can go where a larger fireplace would crowd the space, while the cast iron body gives the steady warmth Dovre is known for.
Dovre Tai 35W Wood Fireplace Features
Cast iron for steady heat
Cast iron takes a little time to warm up, then keeps giving heat well after the flames have died down. That smooths out the temperature in the room and helps you get more from every log.
Compact footprint
The Tai 35W measures 40 x 52 x 78.5 cm and weighs 85 kg. It sits comfortably in a corner, beside a TV unit or in a smaller open-plan space, and it does not need a large hearth.
Simple to connect
It takes a 150 mm flue, a common size that makes the installation straightforward, whether we run a new flue through the ceiling or connect into an existing chimney where that is safe.
Is the Tai 35W right for your home?
Dovre does not list a heating area on our product data, so here is a rough guide: a 5 to 7kW wood fireplace usually suits a small to medium lounge of about 40 to 70 m² with a normal ceiling. Lots of glass or high ceilings reduce that, so send us your room size and we will check the fit. Compare it with other models on our Dovre page and in our freestanding fireplaces range.
Installation in Cape Town
Our fireplace installation team supplies and fits the Tai 35W with a 150 mm flue, a cowl that copes with the south-easter, and roof flashing that keeps out winter rain. We also set the hearth and clearances so it is safe and compliant.
Dovre Tai 35W FAQs
Is the Dovre Tai 35 big enough for an open-plan room?
For a small open-plan area, yes. For a large living and dining space, a higher output Dovre fireplace is usually a better fit, and we can suggest one.
What wood should I burn in it?
Use dry, seasoned hardwood. Wet wood smokes, dirties the glass and gives far less heat from the same load.
