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. Chesneys designed this model to deliver dependable heat output while keeping emissions extremely low, so it fits comfortably into modern living requirements.
Because of its balanced proportions, the stove works well in a wide range of fireplace settings. It suits renovation projects as well as new installations, and it maintains the timeless character associated with the Salisbury range while improving everyday performance.
Clean-Burning Technology for Smoke Control Areas
The Salisbury 5WS MK3 meets modern environmental standards while still preserving the atmosphere of a real wood fire.
Since it is DEFRA exempt, homeowners can legally install and use it in smoke control areas across major towns and cities in the UK. This gives greater flexibility for installation in urban properties where restrictions apply to non-compliant stoves.
The stove produces very low emissions, with smoke output at just 0.7 grams per hour. As a result, it supports cleaner combustion and reduces environmental impact while maintaining strong heating efficiency.
Heating Performance and Efficiency
The Salisbury 5WS MK3 delivers consistent and practical heating for everyday use.
It provides a nominal heat output of 4.9kW and operates within a heat range between 3.5kW and 7kW. This allows homeowners to adjust performance depending on room size and seasonal demand.
Because of this flexibility, it works well as a primary heat source in smaller to medium-sized rooms or as supplementary heating in larger homes. It also achieves a high net efficiency rating of 86.4%, which helps convert more fuel into usable heat while reducing waste.
Flexible Installation Options
The Salisbury 5WS MK3 measures 497mm wide, 597mm high, and 418mm deep. These proportions give it a solid presence while still allowing adaptability in different fireplace layouts.
The optional heat shield increases depth slightly while also reducing clearance requirements. Standard rear clearance is 300mm, which can be reduced to 200mm with the heat shield installed. When combined with an insulated flue system, rear clearance can be reduced further to 100mm. Side clearances remain at 400mm.
Professional installation helps ensure safe operation, correct flue setup, and long-term efficiency. It also supports accurate positioning within the room and proper integration into the fireplace design.
Traditional Styling with Modern Performance
The Salisbury range is known for combining classic aesthetics with modern combustion technology, and the 5WS MK3 continues that approach.
It delivers the warmth, atmosphere, and visual appeal of a traditional wood-burning stove while meeting modern expectations for efficiency and low emissions. Overall, it offers a strong balance of character, performance, and everyday practicality for a wide range of homes.
