The County 8 features a generous glass viewing window that gives you a clear view of the fire. Its classic styling is balanced by clean lines and a practical, robust construction.

The integrated Airwash system directs air across the glass to help keep it clearer during use. Cleanburn technology supports combustion performance, while the responsive air control allows you to adjust the air supply during operation.

The stove has a maximum published efficiency of up to 77.8% and an A energy efficiency classification. It is Ecodesign Plus compliant and DEFRA exempt for use in designated Smoke Control Areas, provided the appliance is installed and operated according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

Installation and Suitability

Choosing a larger stove requires careful consideration of the room’s heating requirements and the proposed installation. The County 8 needs a suitable chimney or flue system, appropriate hearth protection and the correct clearances to combustible materials.

The Stovax County 8 Wood-Burning Stove is designed specifically for wood burning, not multi-fuel use.. Your installer should confirm the property’s suitability and follow the current Stovax installation instructions and applicable Building Regulations.
