The Saltfire ST-X8 Bioethanol Stove brings together modern stove design, strong performance and flexible fuel options. As a standard wood or multifuel stove, it delivers a nominal heat output of 8kW, making it well suited to medium and larger rooms while creating a warm and inviting focal point in the home.
Designed with a modern and stylish look, the ST-X8 complements a wide range of interiors with ease. Its generous viewing window offers an impressive view of the flames, while the powerful airwash system helps keep the glass crystal clear for an uninterrupted flame picture. User-friendly controls and the latest stove technologies make it simple to enjoy both performance and everyday practicality.
Built for lasting durability, the ST-X8 features a sturdy steel body and a solid cast iron door. It also has a heat efficiency rating of 80.5%, helping to optimise fuel consumption while maintaining the cosy warmth this stove is designed to provide.
For added flexibility, the Saltfire ST-X8 can also be used with a bioethanol fuel insert tray, which gives a typical heat output of 1-1.5kW. This makes it ideal as a background heat source or for creating a real flame aesthetic when you do not require the heat of a woodburner. It is particularly well suited to spring and summer evenings, or for winter use in rooms where there is already a primary heat source, such as central heating.
This stove can either be installed as a normal wood or multifuel stove with an appropriate flue system, allowing it to be used for solid fuel or bioethanol, or it can be installed free-standing without a chimney or flue if you intend to use only the bioethanol option.
The bioethanol burner tray can be lifted in and out of the stove easily without any tools. When removed, it can also be used outside the stove, for example on a patio during summer evenings. With the tray removed, the stove becomes the standard wood stove and can be used with wood, subject to a suitable chimney connection.
The ST-X8 also offers strong environmental credentials. It exceeds DEFRA requirements for exemption from smoke control zones, has a clearSkies rating of 5, and carries EcoDesign certification, showing its compliance with high standards for emissions and particulates.
Bioethanol also offers a number of practical benefits. As a biofuel, it is considered carbon-neutral because the carbon dioxide released during burning is absorbed by plants during their growth. The liquid fuel is easy and clean to store, and although the heat output is noticeably lower than a solid fuel appliance, the bioethanol burner still provides useful background warmth together with the attraction and cosiness of a real flame fire.
