Multifuel & Solid Fuel Stoves – Freestanding, Insert & Boiler Models

A multifuel stove is the traditional choice for Irish homes. It burns seasoned wood, peat briquettes and approved smokeless solid fuels, so you can choose your fuel based on price and what's available locally. You get a real living flame and strong radiant heat, and because it needs no electricity, it keeps you warm even during a power cut.

Every stove in our range is an Ecodesign model, built to meet Ireland's cleaner-burning standards with efficiency of around 75 to 80%. For a compact living room, the Mazona Glencara Eco 5kW and Henley Sherwood Eco 5kW offer great value. If you have an existing fireplace opening, the Henley Muckross Eco Insert 4.6kW slots straight in. Larger rooms suit the Henley Bracken Eco 7.9kW, and to heat your radiators and hot water too, choose a boiler stove such as the Henley Sherwood Eco Boiler 12kW or the Henley Druid Multifuel Boiler 21kW.

Multifuel stoves need a chimney or a twin-wall flue. Still deciding between multifuel and pellet? Read our guide, Wood Pellet or Multi-Fuel Stove? How to Choose the Right One for Your Home, for a side-by-side comparison of running costs, efficiency and installation.

Frequently Asked Questions

What size multifuel stove do I need?
Most average Irish living rooms suit a 4–5kW stove, while larger or open-plan rooms usually need 7–8kW. Insulation, ceiling height and open staircases all affect the right size. A stove that's too big will run inefficiently. Use our Heat Output Calculator to get a recommendation for your room in under a minute.

What is the difference between a boiler and a non-boiler stove?
A non-boiler stove heats only the room it's in. A boiler stove connects to your central heating to heat radiators and hot water as well, which makes it ideal as a main heat source. Popular boiler models include the Henley Sherwood Eco Boiler 12kW and Waterford Stanley Fern Eco Boiler 15.5kW.

Can I fit a stove into my existing fireplace?
Yes. An insert stove fits into an existing fireplace opening and gives you far more heat than an open fire, which loses most of its heat up the chimney. Options include the Henley Muckross Eco Insert 4.6kW and Waterford Stanley Solis I500 Insert 5kW. Measure your opening before you buy.

What does Ecodesign mean on a stove?
Ecodesign is an EU standard that applies to all new solid fuel stoves sold since January 2022. It sets strict limits on emissions and minimum efficiency levels, so Ecodesign stoves burn cleaner, use less fuel and produce less smoke than older models. Every multifuel stove in our range is Ecodesign compliant.

Do I need a professional to install a multifuel stove?
Yes. We strongly recommend using a qualified installer. Your stove must be installed to Irish Building Regulations (Part J), with a suitable chimney or twin-wall flue, a carbon monoxide alarm and adequate ventilation. Boiler stoves also need a plumber to connect them to your heating system. For advice, talk to our experts.

Inspect your stove as soon as it arrives, and let us know within 14 days of delivery if anything is damaged or missing. Email websales@stakelums.ie or call (0504) 21900 with your order number and photos, and we'll put it right.
