KAWMET P3 (7.4 kW) ECO Freestanding Stove
KAWMET P3 (7.4 kW) ECO is a wood-burning freestanding stove from the Polish foundry KAWMET with a nominal output of 7.4 kW, sized for rooms of up to 74 m² (up to 185 m³). A flat front pane shows the firebed head-on. Thermal efficiency is 71.6 %, energy class A.
The construction weighing 86 kg is cast iron throughout — a material chosen for durability, since it is what sits in direct contact with the embers. Cast iron heats up more slowly than steel, but the difference pays off in the evening: once the last load has burnt through, the body keeps radiating stored heat for hours. Fins on the outer walls and a vermiculite baffle above the firebed carry into the room the energy that would otherwise go up the flue.

The KAWMET Standard ECO range — a stove for everyday use
P3 comes from the KAWMET Standard ECO range: cast iron freestanding stoves with a simple, compact form, intended for heating one or two rooms day to day. No ornamental castings and no elaborate controls — the whole design is subordinated to durability and easy operation.
Every model in this line meets Ecodesign requirements, has a clean glass system and a single-knob air control.
Is 7.4 kW enough to heat my house?
The model is rated for roughly 74 m² with standard insulation and a ceiling height of 2.5–2.7 m. In a poorly insulated building, one with large glazed areas or a higher ceiling, the real figure will be lower. Oversizing is harmful too, however: for most of the season the appliance then runs on a low flame, which soots up the glass and the flue faster.
Does it need an external air supply?
This model has no factory external air spigot — combustion air is taken from the room. In an airtight house with mechanical ventilation this means a separate air inlet to the room has to be provided; agree the solution with your installer before buying. If an external air supply is a requirement for you, choose a model that lists this function in its specifications.
What chimney and space does the stove require?
A flue of Ø150 mm, with the outlet at the top or rear. The stove measures 465 × 625 × 450 mm (W × H × D) and weighs 86 kg. Required clearances to walls and combustible materials are given in the manufacturer's manual, available in the documents section on this page.
What fuel should be used?
The fuel is seasoned hardwood with a moisture content of up to 20 %. The maximum log length is 300 mm. Wet wood gives noticeably less heat, smokes up the glass and speeds up soot deposits in the flue. Chipboard, painted or impregnated timber and waste must not be burnt — they shorten the life of the cast iron and void the warranty.
