Chesneys Salisbury LS 5WS MK3 Wood Burning Stove

Chesneys Salisbury LS 5WS MK3 Wood Burning Stove

The Chesneys Salisbury LS 5WS MK3 Wood Burning Stove combines traditional stove character with modern clean-burning technology, offering an efficient heating solution designed for contemporary living. Built with a taller and more substantial presence than standard models within the range, it creates a stronger visual statement while maintaining the timeless appearance associated with classic wood-burning stoves.

Designed for homeowners who want dependable heat output alongside low emissions and strong efficiency, the Salisbury LS 5WS MK3 balances practical heating performance with refined design. Its proportions make it particularly suited to larger fireplace openings and spaces where the stove is intended to become a focal point within the room.

Clean-burning performance for modern homes

The Salisbury LS 5WS MK3 has been developed to meet current environmental expectations while preserving the warmth and atmosphere of a real wood fire.

As a DEFRA-exempt wood burning stove, it can be safely and legally used within smoke control areas throughout major towns and cities across the UK. This allows homeowners greater flexibility when selecting a stove, particularly in locations where restrictions apply to non-compliant appliances.

Its emissions performance is particularly impressive, producing smoke levels of only 0.7 grams per hour. This is substantially lower than current permitted limits and supports cleaner combustion with reduced environmental impact.

Efficient heating output

Alongside its low-emissions credentials, the Salisbury LS 5WS MK3 delivers strong day-to-day heating performance.

With a nominal heat output of 4.9kW and a heat range between 3.5kW and 7kW, the stove is designed to provide comfortable and consistent warmth across a variety of room sizes. It works equally well as a primary room heater or as part of a wider home heating arrangement, creating a welcoming focal point while delivering practical performance.

The high NET efficiency rating of 86.4% helps maximise heat generation from the fuel used, allowing more of the stove’s energy output to be directed into the room rather than being lost through the flue.

Installation flexibility

The Salisbury LS 5WS MK3 has been designed to integrate into a range of fireplace settings and installation projects.

With overall dimensions of 490mm wide, 767mm high, and 433mm deep, the stove has a larger and more prominent profile that can work particularly well within feature fireplaces and larger living spaces. The taller design also enhances the visual impact of the appliance, helping create a stronger architectural presence within the room.

Clearance requirements should always be considered during planning and installation. The stove requires a rear distance to combustible materials of 200mm, although this can be reduced to 100mm when using an insulated flue system. Side clearances are specified at 400mm.

For homeowners planning a new installation, understanding the wood-burning stove installation process can help ensure the correct layout and positioning from the beginning. Professional stove installation is also recommended to achieve safe operation and optimum long-term performance.

Traditional styling with contemporary efficiency

The Salisbury range has been designed to combine classic aesthetics with the benefits of modern combustion technology, and the LS 5WS MK3 follows that same approach.

Its timeless appearance allows it to complement both period properties and more contemporary interiors, while the advanced engineering behind the stove delivers the efficiency and environmental performance expected from a premium heating appliance.
