The Bug is a compact, characterful stove that blends retro styling with thoroughly modern performance. Designed for those who want a stove that looks distinctive without sacrificing efficiency or usability, the Bug delivers dependable 5kW heat in a clean, easy-to-live-with package.

Built around a steel body with a cast iron door, the Bug offers excellent durability while keeping heat output controlled and responsive. Easy-to-use air controls make day-to-day operation simple, while the advanced airwash system helps keep the glass crystal clear, allowing you to enjoy uninterrupted views of the fire.

Inside, the firebox is fully lined with firebricks and fitted with a multifuel grate, giving you the flexibility to burn both wood and smokeless fuel. A removable ash pan makes routine maintenance quick and straightforward, reducing the effort normally associated with solid fuel stoves.

Fully DEFRA exempt and Ecodesign 2022 ready, the Bug can be used legally in smoke control areas across the UK. With an efficient operating range of 3–5kW, it’s well suited to small and medium-sized rooms, providing reliable warmth without overpowering the space.

Installation and Instruction Manual for Bug Stove Range

Developed from a desire to create environmentally friendly wood burning stoves that are both beautiful and subtly understated, Saltfire stoves are developed without compromise to ensure the best possible burning performance. Each stove is lovingly hand built from individually cast components by highly skilled foundry craftsmen.

Built to last and designed to perform as intended every time, Saltfire stoves require minimal maintenance while offering reliable and efficient heat. All Saltfire stoves are DEFRA approved and ultra clean burning. The full ST and ST X ranges and the Peanut range are all EcoDesign 2022 ready for burning wood.

Saltfire pride themselves on playing their part in saving the planet and, in return, you are instantly rewarded with a mesmerising flame effect unique to Saltfire stove technology.

We offer a professional stove installation service that gives you peace of mind your stove is fitted safely, correctly and in line with UK regulations. Every home is unique, and the right installation approach depends on your space, chimney setup and flue requirements, so our pricing is arranged in clear tiers rather than a single flat rate.

Our typical installation pricing is structured as follows

  • Standard installation into an existing fireplace with a suitable chimney, from £700 and including core connection and setup.
  • Installation that requires a new flue liner, minor hearth adjustments or additional components, from £1,200 depending on layout and materials.
  • Installation where no chimney is present and a full twin wall external flue system is required, from £1,800 with final costs influenced by height, routing and site access.

All installations are carried out by qualified professionals who ensure your stove is fitted safely, performs efficiently and meets current Building Regulations. If you are unsure which tier your property may fall into, or if you would like guidance on your setup, just get in touch. We will review your space, talk through the options and provide a clear and transparent quotation before any work goes ahead.
