Chesneys Salisbury 5WS MK3 Wood Burning Stove
The Chesneys Salisbury 5WS MK3 Wood Burning Stove combines traditional stove design with advanced clean-burning technology, creating an efficient heating solution suited to both classic and contemporary interiors.
Designed for homeowners who want dependable heat output alongside reduced environmental impact, this model delivers impressive efficiency levels and exceptionally low emissions while retaining the timeless appearance expected from a premium wood burning stove. Its balanced proportions allow it to work comfortably within a wide range of fireplace settings, making it suitable for both renovation projects and new installations.
The Salisbury range has long been valued for combining classic character with modern performance, and the 5WS MK3 continues that approach with a design that prioritises both aesthetics and everyday practicality.
Clean-burning technology for smoke control areas
The Salisbury 5WS MK3 has been developed to meet modern environmental standards while preserving the warmth and atmosphere of a real wood fire.
As a DEFRA-exempt stove, it can be safely and legally used within smoke control areas throughout major towns and cities across the UK. This provides greater installation flexibility for homeowners who want the benefits of a wood-burning appliance without restrictions associated with non-compliant models.
Its emissions performance is particularly impressive, producing smoke emissions of just 0.7 grams per hour. This is significantly below permitted limits and reflects the stove’s highly efficient combustion system, helping create a cleaner burn and improved environmental performance.
Heating performance and efficiency
Alongside its clean-burning credentials, the Salisbury 5WS MK3 is designed to provide consistent and effective heating performance for everyday use.
With a nominal heat output of 4.9kW and a heat range between 3.5kW and 7kW, it offers flexibility across a variety of room sizes and heating requirements. It provides dependable warmth while maintaining controlled fuel consumption, making it suitable for homeowners seeking both comfort and efficiency.
The stove also achieves an impressive NET efficiency rating of 86.4%, helping maximise the amount of usable heat generated from every fuel load while reducing unnecessary waste.
Flexible installation options
The Salisbury 5WS MK3 has been designed with practical installation considerations in mind, allowing it to integrate comfortably into different fireplace layouts and room designs.
Measuring 497mm wide, 597mm high, and 418mm deep, the stove maintains a substantial appearance while remaining adaptable for a range of installation projects. Where additional protection is required, an optional heat shield can be fitted, increasing the depth slightly while also reducing clearance requirements behind the appliance.
Standard rear clearance to combustible materials is 300mm. This can be reduced to 200mm when installed with the optional heat shield, while using both an insulated flue and additional heat shield reduces the required rear distance further to 100mm. Side clearances remain at 400mm.
These installation options provide greater flexibility when designing a fireplace setting or working with spaces where positioning may be more limited.
For homeowners planning a new appliance installation, understanding the complete wood-burning stove installation process can help ensure the project is properly planned from the outset. Professional stove installation is also recommended to achieve safe operation and optimum long-term performance.
Traditional styling with modern performance
One of the defining features of the Chesneys Salisbury collection is its ability to bring together timeless stove aesthetics and modern combustion technology.
The Salisbury 5WS MK3 delivers the visual appeal and atmosphere associated with a traditional wood-burning stove while incorporating highly efficient engineering that supports cleaner operation and improved heating performance. This balance makes it particularly well suited to modern homes looking for both character and practicality.
