Oyster 8

Product Information

The Atlantic Oyster 8 Freestanding Stove is the largest and most powerful model in the contemporary Oyster range. Distinct from many of Atlantic's other offerings, the Oyster 8 is a dedicated wood-burning stove engineered specifically for larger rooms and open-plan spaces. It features a sleek, minimalist steel body paired with an exceptionally large glass viewing window, emphasizing a clean-lined modern look.

Key Features & Design

• Dedicated Wood Burner: Built specifically to burn seasoned logs and timber at peak thermal efficiency, ensuring a highly lively, clean-burning flame pattern.
• Panoramic Fire View: Designed with an expansive front ceramic glass screen and a smooth, minimalist handle integration to keep the visual focus entirely on the fire.
• Sleek Steel Construction: Made from high-grade steel for rapid room-heating, delivering heat to large spaces much faster than traditional full cast-iron models.
• Direct External Air Intake: Fully compatible with an external air kit, allowing it to draw combustion air directly from outside the home. This makes it ideal for modern, air-tight properties or homes utilizing mechanical ventilation (HRV) systems.
• Advanced Airwash System: Promotes secondary pre-heated air circulation down across the inside of the glass window, significantly reducing soot buildup and maintenance.
• Optional Log Box Base: Can be installed on a standard flat hearth or paired with an optional matching modular log store base to elevate the combustion chamber to eye level and provide integrated fuel storage.

Environmental & Operational Benefits

The Oyster 8 utilizes a sophisticated internal tertiary air system to reignite unburnt gases at high temperatures. Because it is EcoDesign Ready and DEFRA Exempt, it drastically minimizes particulate matter (PM) and carbon emissions. Its high efficiency allows it to easily heat substantial room volumes without chewing through large volumes of timber, providing a highly sustainable primary or secondary heat source.

Installation Note: With an 8 kW output, this stove will require dedicated room ventilation or the installation of its direct external air kit to satisfy building regulations and maintain proper flue draught performance.
