Dimensions & portability

The design keeps the overall footprint compact while providing a larger‑than‑expected firebox.

The stove's weight and fixed flue connection mean it is best positioned permanently once installed by a qualified technician.

Fuel & setup

Burn seasoned hardwood for best efficiency, longest burn times and lowest emissions. The stove uses a 6" flue and is compatible with a triple‑skin flue system; ensure installation meets local building and clearance regulations. An outside air kit is available for homes that require direct combustion air.

What's included

• Factory‑finished freestanding stove unit
• Firebox with internal lining
• Documentation including installation and owner manuals
• Optional accessories available separately: blower kit, outside air kit, GreenStart ignitor.

Who it's for

The Answer Freestanding suits homeowners who need a powerful heater without a large stove footprint — ideal for compact living rooms, renovated cottages or smaller open‑plan spaces that require consistent, efficient warmth.

Care & maintenance

Regular ash removal, annual flue inspection and cleaning are essential to maintain safe operation and emissions performance. Inspect door seals and glass periodically; replace any worn parts with manufacturer‑approved components. Use only recommended fuels and follow the owner manual for start‑up and overnight burn procedures.
