WHICH IS THE SMALLEST KLOVER WOOD STOVE
The most compact wood stove in the Klover range is MISS WOOD. The technical sheet declares overall dimensions of 50x54x75 cm, a weight of 125 kg and a nominal heat output on wood of 5.9 kW, for a heated surface area of 60 m². Among Klover wood stoves, MISS WOOD is the one with the lowest output and the lowest weight, with a declared efficiency of 85.7%.
A small wood burning stove is not necessarily the least powerful. SWISS declares 48.4x49.6x116 cm: a narrower footprint and a tall shape, which rises vertically instead of taking up floor space. With 8.7 kW and a heated surface area of 80 m², SWISS is the Klover slimline wood burning stove for rooms where floor space is scarce.
All the dimensions quoted are those published on the technical sheets at klover.it, which remain the reference for planning the installation.
HOW MUCH SPACE A SMALL WOOD BURNING STOVE NEEDS
The space to plan for a small wood burning stove does not match its overall dimensions. The wood stove has to be connected to a flue built to standard and installed respecting the distances from combustible materials set out in the manual of the model, which change from one appliance to another. The dimensions of MISS WOOD and SWISS are therefore the starting point of the project, not its result.
The flue outlet of MISS WOOD has a diameter of 130 mm, that of SWISS 150 mm. It is the figure needed to check the connection of the wood stove to the existing flue.
Inside, the combustion chamber of MISS WOOD measures 360x365x380 mm in width, height and depth; that of SWISS measures 340x460x254 mm. These are the dimensions of the firebox, and they decide the size of the logs that fit into it.
HOW MUCH OF A HOME A SMALL WOOD BURNING STOVE HEATS
MISS WOOD declares 5.9 kW and a heated surface area of 60 m², the same values for MISS WOOD, MISS WOOD STONE and MISS WOOD PLUS. SWISS and SWISS CORE declare 8.7 kW and 80 m², with an efficiency of 85.6%. The heated surface area is an indicative value: how much a wood stove really heats depends on the insulation of the home, on the height of the ceilings and on the wood, which has to be dry.
The combustion chamber of MISS WOOD and of SWISS is lined with Keramik HD refractory, which stores heat and keeps the temperature of the firebox high. On MISS WOOD the combustion air is adjusted with a single control, one movement to meter the fire.
On MISS WOOD front ventilation is available as an option and spreads the heat evenly through the room. SWISS has front ventilation and a micro-perforated steel top, which encourages the natural convection of the air.
A SLIMLINE WOOD BURNING STOVE FOR NARROW SPACES
SWISS weighs 145 kg and is clad in high-density technical stoneware, in the Soap Stone and Moka finishes. The front is ceramic glass, the handle is investment-cast steel and the ash drawer is airtight.
SWISS CORE declares the same 8.7 kW and the same 80 m² in 48.4x49.6x140 cm for 170 kg. The difference lies in the Core accumulation system: refractory elements with a high thermal capacity, placed inside the structure, store heat and release it gradually even when the stove is off.
In a narrow room, SWISS and SWISS CORE bring a wood fire where floor space is scarce, and with SWISS CORE the heat stays in the room even after the flame has gone out.
THREE CLADDINGS, CAST IRON AND AN OVEN
MISS WOOD comes in three versions with the same technical sheet: 5.9 kW, 60 m², 50x54x75 cm. MISS WOOD has painted steel cladding in Matt Black; MISS WOOD STONE is clad in Soap Stone natural stone; MISS WOOD PLUS is clad in majolica, in Matt Black, Bordeaux and Avorio. The two clad versions weigh 130 kg.
Anyone looking for a small cast iron wood stove finds cast iron in the parts that work hardest: on all three versions of MISS WOOD the top and the base are cast iron, a solid material that gives stability and steady heat.
OLYMPIA declares 50x54x125 cm: two dimensions match those of MISS WOOD, and above the firebox sits a stainless steel oven of 310x350x410 mm. With 9.4 kW for 100 m², OLYMPIA is the Klover answer for anyone looking for a small wood burning stove with an oven.
