Chesneys Salisbury 8WS MK3 Wood Burning Stove
The Chesneys Salisbury 8WS MK3 Wood Burning Stove combines the traditional appearance of a classic stove with modern combustion technology. Chesneys designed it to deliver strong heating performance while maintaining very clean-burning operation, so it suits homeowners who want both atmosphere and efficiency in larger living spaces.
Its design stays true to the Salisbury range, so it works naturally in period homes, renovated properties, and contemporary interiors. Because of this versatility, it creates a strong focal point while still fitting comfortably into different interior styles.
With DEFRA exemption and compliance beyond Eco Design 2022 requirements, the stove meets modern environmental standards without losing the character of a real wood fire.
Clean-Burning Technology for Modern Living
The Salisbury 8WS MK3 focuses on efficient combustion and reduced emissions.
Because it is DEFRA exempt, homeowners can legally use it in smoke control areas across major towns and cities in the UK. This allows more freedom when choosing a stove while still meeting current regulations.
The stove also exceeds Eco Design 2022 requirements and produces smoke emissions of just 1.7 grams per hour. As a result, it supports cleaner combustion and improved environmental performance without reducing heat output.
Powerful Heating Performance
The Salisbury 8WS MK3 delivers strong and consistent heat output for medium and larger rooms.
It provides a nominal heat output of 7.4kW and operates within a heat range between 5kW and 9.5kW. This allows it to maintain comfortable temperatures in spaces where smaller stoves would struggle.
Because of this output, it works well as a primary heating source or as a supplement to an existing system. It also achieves an efficiency rating of 83.2%, which helps convert more fuel into usable heat and supports steady day-to-day performance.
Flexible Installation Options
The Salisbury 8WS MK3 measures 570mm wide, 659mm high, and 433mm deep. These proportions give it a strong visual presence while still maintaining balanced installation flexibility.
The optional heat shield increases depth slightly by 15mm and also supports reduced clearance requirements. Standard rear clearance is 250mm, but this can be reduced to 150mm with the heat shield installed. When combined with an insulated flue system, rear clearance can be reduced further to 50mm.
Professional installation helps ensure safe operation, correct flue setup, and long-term efficiency. It also supports accurate positioning within the room and compliance with installation standards.
Traditional Styling with Modern Performance
The Salisbury 8WS MK3 combines classic stove design with modern heating technology.
It delivers reliable warmth, efficient combustion, and a timeless appearance that suits a wide range of interiors. Overall, it provides a strong balance of traditional character and modern performance for larger living spaces.
