We have yet to discover a finer stove on the market. Julian, author of The Stovefitter's Manual has one (as do both his neighbours and there are two in the pub close by). Ray the twin wall chimney designer has one.

What these specs mean

External air

External air allows the stove to take combustion air from outside the room via a flexible tube, rather than just taking air from the room. This can be useful in newer, more airtight homes. Suitability depends on the installation and property.

12mm hearth

A 12mm hearth suitable stove can usually sit on a thinner decorative hearth, rather than needing a constructional hearth, subject to the manufacturer’s instructions.

ClearSkies rating

ClearSkies is an independent emissions and efficiency scheme for modern stoves. A higher rating indicates cleaner burning performance compared with older stove designs.

DEFRA approved

DEFRA approval means the stove can be used to burn wood legally in UK smoke control areas, provided it is installed and used correctly with suitable fuel.

Distance to combustibles

This is the minimum safe gap between the stove and combustible materials such as timber, plasterboard, furniture, shelves, beams or a wooden fireplace surround.

Efficiency

Efficiency shows how much of the fuel’s energy is turned into useful heat for the room. Higher efficiency usually means less heat wasted up the chimney.

Description of the Dik Guerts Ivar 5

We appreciate that the DG Ivar 5 is more of an initial outlay than many other stoves but, as stove lovers, we feel it is worth it. Your Ivar will be the focus of a room, the heart of the home on a cold winter evening - providing warmth and joy to those you love. This stove is "Created in Holland" rather than "Made in China". When you unwrap it you will understand. When you light it you will understand. Some things are worth spending a little more on and we have yet to find a finer stove on the market.

Whereas many stoves have two or even three controls, the Dik Guerts Ivar 5 has just the one. It slides smoothly from left to right over a distance of exactly 192mm (about 172mm more than most other stoves). That 192mm of travel is a journey, a display of just what can be achieved when fire and Dutch design skills combine. Every mm of the journey is a joy - slide a little, then slide a little more: fire becomes art. Should you get to see the Ivar 5 in action - then you will understand.

One control lever only: slide left to reduce heat and preserve logs, slide right to increase heat. The airwash, to keep the glass completely clear, is adjusted automatically. Simple. With the Dik Guerts Ivar 5. You are in control.

A challenge: take a trip to your local stove showroom and play with the controls on different stove brands. Some will have just 10 or 15mm of play, between "flames almost out" and "a fully roaring fire" and it is hard to set the perfect temperature, especially when wearing thick fireproof mitten. Controls may also be "scratchy" - an unsatisfying metal on metal experience.

The Dik Guerts Ivar 5 must have a full 5" constructional hearth (can be sunk into the floor)). High leg and log store versions can go on a 12mm hearth.

The Ivar 5 has a cast iron door and a steel body. The glass is infrared Chalcogenide which apparently is a very good thing (something to do with transmitting heat and not scratching when being cleaned).

Launched 2014 the Ivar 5 swiftly rose to become one of the top three sellers for Stovefitter's - and deservedly so. The excellent sales happened despite stiff competition from the sub £500 models.

Julian, (author of The Stove Fitter's Manual) has installed the Ivar 5 in his Cornish cottage renovation (so ask him if you speak to him ;-). His immediate neighbour was so impressed that he chose the 8kW Ivar (on a log store) and the neighbour the other side also fitted the Dik Guerts  Ivar 5. So three in a row! No stopping word of mouth now - the owners of the village hotel & pub (Marazion Hotel, Cornwall) visited and were also impressed - they removed their recently installed inset stove (not enough heat) and fitted an Ivar 5, followed swiftly by an 8kW version in the adjoining Cutty Sark Restaurant. They are now happy as hotel owners in a hotel. 

The Dik Guerts Ivar 5 is a modern, premium steel stove with a humongous viewing glass and firebox. For those desiring a modern appliance that can pump out 3-7.5kW if required, we recommend the Ivar 5. We like the name as well. Ivar is Nordic and sounds cool. Perhaps if I have a kid, I'll call it Ivar. What? I've left it too late? I'm only 54. Okay, a dog then.
