Designed in Britain, built for an Australian winter
Slow combustion wood heaters in Australia
The Parkray Aspect Eco is a premium, clean-burning slow combustion wood heater, also called a wood stove, a wood burning stove, or in Australia a wood fireplace, engineered in the United Kingdom and sold across Australia through a network of authorised dealers. Three sizes, low emissions, and a 10 year firebox warranty. Find the range, then find your nearest showroom.
What makes a slow combustion wood heater worth it
A slow combustion wood heater burns wood in a sealed firebox with controlled airflow, so a single load holds heat for the whole evening rather than burning away in an hour. You will see the same appliance called a wood stove, a wood burning stove, a combustion stove, or, in Australian usage, simply a wood fireplace. They all describe a closed steel or cast iron firebox that turns firewood into hours of steady, radiant heat, unlike an old open fireplace that sends most of its warmth up the chimney.
The Parkray Aspect Eco range is built around that idea. Its triple burn air system draws air in three stages, primary air through the base, pre-heated secondary air down the glass, and tertiary air across the top, to burn off the gases a simpler heater would waste. The payoff is an average efficiency between 67 and 72 per cent across the range and emissions that sit well under the AS/NZS 4013 limit, so you burn less wood for the same warmth and put far less smoke into the air.
Every Aspect Eco model meets the AS/NZS 4012 and 4013 standards for efficiency and emissions, carries a 10 year firebox warranty, and is designed in Britain by the Hunter Stoves Group. Buying through an authorised dealer keeps the supply, flue, install, and ongoing service under one roof, with the heater fitted by a qualified person in line with AS/NZS 2918. Check your local council for any site-specific requirements before you buy.

Common questions
What is a slow combustion wood heater?
A slow combustion wood heater burns firewood inside a sealed steel or cast iron firebox rather than in an open fireplace. You control the airflow, so the fire burns slowly and steadily and releases its heat gradually over hours instead of racing up the flue. The result is far more usable warmth from each load of wood, cleaner combustion, and much lower emissions than an open fire or an older box heater. The Parkray Aspect Eco range uses a triple burn air system that draws air in three stages to burn off gases that a simpler heater would send up the chimney.
Are slow combustion wood heaters legal in Australia?
Yes. Slow combustion wood heaters are legal across Australia, and a new heater sold here must meet the AS/NZS 4012 and AS/NZS 4013 standards for efficiency and emissions. Every Parkray Aspect Eco model meets those standards comfortably. Some councils and some smoke-affected areas apply their own rules about installation and use, so it is worth checking your local council for any site-specific requirements before you buy. Your authorised dealer arranges an install by a qualified person in line with AS/NZS 2918.
Which Aspect Eco size suits my home?
It depends on the area you want to heat and how well the home holds warmth. As a general guide, the Aspect 5 Eco heats up to 140 sqm and suits smaller or well-insulated homes, the Aspect 8 Eco heats up to 195 sqm and suits typical family homes, and the Aspect 14 Eco heats up to 220 sqm and suits large or open-plan spaces. Ceiling height, insulation, and climate all change the sums, so your nearest authorised dealer is the best guide to the right size for your home.
