The Charnwood Island II cast iron fireplace achieved test results in Europe of 82% efficiency on wood and 79% on other solid fuels. It also achieved extremely low smoke particle level of 14mg/m3 (the Eco-design limit is 40mg/m3). This means that this stove is a responsible choice for those seeking minimal impact on the environment.
The All New Island II is one of Charnwood’s latest additions to the Island range.
This redesign of our classic twin door stove has a larger picture window and incorporates our Blu burning technology. This stove burns with an efficiency of over 82% with extremely low smoke particle level of 14mg/m3 (the Ecodesign limit is 40mg/m3).
Large 8 kW Wood Burning Stove
With an 8 kW nominal output and a range of 5–11 kW, the Charnwood Island II provides a higher level of heat for larger rooms.
The stove accommodates logs up to 480 mm (19 inches) long, making it well suited to larger fires and extended periods of heating.
Large Picture Window
The redesigned Island II has a significantly larger picture window than the previous Island design.
The twin-door configuration gives the stove a traditional appearance while providing a broad view of the flames. The design works well as a statement wood burning stove in both traditional and contemporary interiors.
Clean-Burning Technology
The Island II incorporates Charnwood’s BLU burning technology, Cleanburn Airwash and Quattroflow Air Management System.
These systems are designed to support cleaner combustion and help keep the ceramic glass clearer during operation. Charnwood states that the Island II produces just 14 mg/m³ of smoke particles when burning wood, well below the 2022 Ecodesign limit of 40 mg/m³.
The stove is also SIA Eco Design Ready and exceeds the relevant Ecodesign performance requirements.

Although often searched for as a Charnwood Island II wood burning stove, the Island II is a multi-fuel model.
