A glimpse of the ACR Buxton II stove
The design is a traditional box shape but the lack of curved edges gives it the machine its own edge and own style. Yes, you could say this is a traditional style or from a different angle it looks a little more contemporary. The fact that the machine itself is dominated by the extended glass viewing area has been an extremely strong selling point. The ability to watch the flickering flames, and the burning embers, is why stove enthusiasts are flocking to this machine. It is only once you have experienced the ambience, the deep-seated heat and the environment that the ACR Buxton II stove brings to the table that you will fully understand.
As you can see from the image, this is the type of stove which is at home in both small to medium-sized rooms. The 5 kW heat output is more than enough to take the chill off those cold winter evenings or frosty mornings. Traditional/contemporary in design yet hiding the latest in combustion technology, the ACR Buxton II multifuel stove does tick many boxes.
