The Sourcing PRIMO EKO 7 kW is a cast iron solid-fuel heating stove designed to provide steady, controllable warmth for single rooms and small living areas. With a nominal heat output of 7 kW, this stove uses logs or other suitable solid fuels and features a cast-iron body and combustion chamber with an integrated fireplace door to ensure stable combustion and long service life.
Advantages
The cast iron construction offers excellent thermal mass and durability, enabling the stove to retain and radiate heat after the fire has decreased. The combustion chamber and door are designed to support efficient burning, improving fuel consumption and heat distribution. Its nominal 7 kW heat output is appropriate for many residential spaces where consistent, moderate heating is required. The stove’s simple mechanical controls make operation straightforward and maintenance manageable.
Suitable for
- Heating single rooms, living rooms, or small cottages.
- Homes that use split or periodic solid-fuel heating rather than central heating systems.
- Users who prefer a cast-iron appliance offering thermal retention and long service life.
When it may not be suitable
This stove is not intended for heating large open-plan homes or multiple rooms without supplementary heating — its 7 kW nominal output is sized for smaller spaces. It is designed for solid fuels such as seasoned wood; using unapproved fuels or poor-quality fuel can reduce efficiency, increase emissions, and accelerate wear. Installation requires a compliant flue and adherence to local building and emissions regulations.
Key specifications
- Nominal heat output: 7 kW
- Fuel type: solid fuels (logs and suitable solid biomass fuels)
- Primary construction material: cast iron
- Combustion chamber: integrated cast-iron chamber with fireplace door
- Intended heating area: single rooms or small living areas (typical residential use)
How to use
Place the stove on a non-combustible base and connect it to a properly installed chimney or flue system that meets local codes. Use dry, seasoned wood or other approved solid fuels for best results. Start with a small kindling fire to establish airflow, then add larger logs once the fire is stable. Adjust air inlets or controls according to the required heat output and monitor fire and ash levels regularly. Allow ashes to cool fully before removing and dispose of them safely.
What to consider before purchase
- Room size and heat requirements to confirm a 7 kW output is adequate.
- Availability and type of suitable solid fuel (seasoned wood, appropriate biomass).
- Chimney/flue compatibility and local installation regulations.
- Space for safe clearance from combustible materials and a non-combustible hearth.
Usage recommendations
For optimal performance, use dry, well-seasoned wood and follow recommended chimney maintenance intervals. Regular cleaning of the combustion chamber and inspection of door seals will help maintain efficiency and prolong service life.
