Apple Pie and Peanut Stoves by Ekol

Apple Pie and Peanut Stoves by Ekol

The Apple Pie stoves by Ekol. Whether it be for a boat, yurt, glamping pod, shepherd’s hut or just a compact fireplace, ‘Apple Pie’ can be adapted and customised to suit. With its very low distance to combustibles this stove is ideal for small spaces.

The central stove can be paired with lots of options to make your Apple Pie suit your requirements, from stands and metal surrounds to pizza shelves and baking ovens.

Ekol have gone to town on their Apple associations too. With a base unit stand, it’s called an Apple Pie Stack, with a top oven it’s called a Baked Apple Pie. With both, it’s called a Baked Apple Stack.  All this talk of pies made us hungry so we thought we should channel our inner Mary Berry and give it a go! It evenly baked this Apple Pie in about 25 minutes. Yummy.

The Apple Pie is the ‘Swiss Army Knife’ of wood burning stoves. It features individual styling and multiple cooking options including stainless cooktop, top baking oven, pan supports to one or both sides as well as griddle plate and pizza shelf inside.

Amongst an elite handful of small-space stoves fully compliant with DEFRA and Ecodesign 2022 it can be used to burn wood anywhere in the UK.

With full cast iron construction and weighing in heavier than many stoves more than twice its size, it really is built to last.

Primary, Secondary and Tertiary air are intuitively controlled by a single air control and with extra large window, enthusiastic fire-starters and chefs can easily monitor their creations.

From the Apple Pie range we have an Apple Core, in charcoal grey and a Baked Apple Stack with Mojave Red Doors.

From the Peanut range we have the Big Nut 5 in the Showroom.

From the Clarity range we have a Clarity 5 with a hand burnished door.

Available in multiple colour options and configurations, including wooden or stainless steel handles. Pop into the showroom to see the Baked Apple Stack in action, we also have the compact Apple Pie on show. Check out the manufacturer’s website here.

Whether you’re looking for a minimalist floating beam to style a modern fireplace or a traditional barn timber full of character we can help.

Depending on your stove or fireplace layout there are a few building regulations to bear in mind when selecting your beam.  It’s important to make sure that there is at least 450mm or 18 inches between the top of your stove and anything combustible if your stove projects from the front of your fireplace.

Resin based products are available if you’re looking for something non-combustible, or if your stove is tucked underneath your chimney without protruding into the room there are a wide range of solid wood options to consider*.

Capital Fireplace Beams

Bright or light colours pair well with bleached wooden beams, with darker, richer shades working well with velvets or leather interiors. Sharp, clean cut beams offer a modern look with distressed oak finishes available for a more characterful interior.

*It’s always a good idea to consult your stove installer to make sure your beam adheres to building regulations for your property.
