Charnwood C5

The C-Five / C Five BLU is a 5kW wood burning stove from Charnwood. The stove features one single air control for exceptional clean burning and outstanding efficiency. Both stoves are DEFRA exempt allowing wood to be burnt in smoke control areas. It also features a connection for air to be supplied directly from outside meaning the stove is room sealed, specifically for houses with air recovery systems.

The C Five has an optional multi fuel kit making it suitable for burning solid fuel and wood.
The C Five BLU is only suitable to burn wood but has a de-ashing grate if required.

SIA Ecodesign Ready ? What is SIA?

Airwash ? What is airwash? Close Airwash is a design feature that uses a specially placed vent or vents to draw in air from the outside to wash over the inside of the glass. This helps to keep the glass clean, allowing you to enjoy the glow and flames to the full.	Yes
Cleanburn ? What is cleanburn? Close Cleanburn is a system by which hot air is introduced into the firebox just above the normal height of the fire. This allows the combustion of unburned hydrocarbons in the smoke stream. This, in turn, provides not only a ‘cleaner burn’ (i.e. less soot particles going up the chimney/flue and into the atmosphere), but also allows you to enjoy even more flames.	Yes
Approved for smoke controlled areas ? Smoke control areas Close A smoke control area is a legally defined area where only approved solid fuels or exempted appliances (eg wood burning stoves) can be used within buildings. Your local authority will be able to advise you if you are not sure.	Yes
Room vent required ? Do I need an air vent? Close The air vent aperture required increases in size depending on the KW output of the stove (this being very approx. equivalent to a 50p piece for each KW – so a 5kw stove requires an area equivalent to 5x50p pieces). The exact figure is 550 square millimetres of vent hole per kw of stove. In new build properties, or properties likely to be as airtight as such a property, there MUST be a PERMANENTLY OPEN air vent within the room (venting to outside). It should not be possible to close this vent and it should be sited in a place where a householder is not tempted to cover it up.	No
