For the WIKING Mini 4 with Wood Store Wiking have taken their best selling 4.5kW Defra approved Mini 2 wood burner and simply added a log store, which comes with or without a door. Why reinvent the perfect wheel? The log store increases the stove height by some 284mm over the Mini 2 plinth model and helps provide a much stronger visual presence to create an impressive and beautifully proportioned focal point, whether the WIKING Mini 4 with Wood Store is installed free-standing or within an elegant fireplace opening. It also raises the window to a more satisfying height to allow you a much better view of the striking flame patterns which can be enjoyed through the big glass area. With a big window you also need to ensure that it stays as clear as possible and to achieve this Wiking have created a highly effective circulating airwash system that not only flushes pre-heated air from the inside of the top like most stoves, but also from inside both sides of the glass.
The WIKING Mini 4 with Wood Store's clean burning and environmental credentials are also impressive with a A+ rated 83% efficiency and exceptionally low emissions that are significantly below that required by the tough new Ecodesign regulations. In addition the WIKING Mini 4 with Wood Store's advanced combustion system also incorporates the Wiking Automatic as standard. This automatically boosts some of the primary air supply to ensure even cleaner burning when lighting, reloading and at the end of the burn cycle – all of which normally tends to produce more smoke. This system also makes the stove much quicker to start. You also get one simple and discreet slider control to precisely regulate the flame height and the Mini 4's generous 3kW to 7kW heat output range.
The WIKING Mini 4 with Wood Store comes in a choice of contemporary grey or traditional black paintwork and for low energy homes there's optional direct external air supply capability. This, along with the WIKING Mini 4 with Wood Store's superior door locking mechanism will create an exceptionally good room seal to ensure safe operation with mechanical extraction, for example in a kitchen diner or with whole-house MVHR systems (subject to the usual BS8303 spillage tests during commissioning). Impressive Danish build quality and attention to design detail throughout, such as the beautifully engineered and densely moulded vermiculite fire chamber lining with its all-cast iron floor and the reassuringly robust cool-touch door handle ensures that the WIKING Mini 4 with Wood Store is not only a stove of real beauty but one that will also be very practical and economic to operate.
