Stovax Vogue Midi-T: Expansive Glass for the Ultimate Flame View

The Stovax Vogue Midi Tall blends modern style with practical design, offering a tall logstore base, DEFRA approval, and cleanburn efficiency—an ideal woodburner for contemporary homes.

A Bold Logstore Stove with Style and Substance

Stovax has long been a household name in the world of woodburning stoves, and their reputation for blending timeless craftsmanship with modern innovation is on full display in the Vogue series. The Stovax Vogue Midi Tall is one of the standout models in this range, designed to offer striking aesthetics and dependable performance in equal measure. With its tall, logstore base and large viewing window, this stove makes a bold statement in any room, combining functionality with contemporary style.

The Vogue Midi Tall isn’t just about looks. It delivers reliable heating performance, impressive efficiency, and the reassurance of DEFRA approval for smoke-control areas. Whether you’re looking to create a dramatic focal point in your living space or simply enjoy the practical convenience of integrated log storage, this stove ticks many boxes for today’s homeowner.

Design & Aesthetic

The first thing most people notice about the Stovax Vogue Midi Tall is its presence. Standing taller than the standard Vogue Midi thanks to its extended logstore base, this stove creates a strong vertical emphasis that instantly catches the eye. The clean, geometric lines and uncluttered surfaces align perfectly with modern design tastes, while its proportions also allow it to sit comfortably in more traditional homes.

A defining feature is the expansive glass window, designed to showcase the fire in all its glory. Stovax’s advanced Airwash system keeps the glass clear during operation, ensuring that the flames remain the star of the show rather than being hidden behind soot. The black steel bodywork provides a sharp contrast to the warm glow of the flames, emphasising the drama of the fire inside.

The integrated logstore at the base of the stove is more than a functional addition; it adds symmetry and balance to the overall design. With neatly stacked logs beneath, the Vogue Midi Tall takes on an authentic, fireside look that enhances the cosy atmosphere of a room.

Performance & Efficiency

Of course, a woodburner needs to offer more than just good looks, and the Vogue Midi Tall excels when it comes to performance. This stove provides a nominal heat output of around 5 kW, making it perfectly suited to standard-sized living rooms. The output range extends higher, ensuring that the stove can comfortably handle larger or less insulated spaces when needed.

Efficiency is a key consideration for modern homeowners, and the Vogue Midi Tall achieves impressive figures. Its cleanburn technology ensures that combustion is as complete as possible, resulting in high efficiency and reduced emissions. By carefully introducing pre-heated secondary and tertiary air into the firebox, the stove is able to reignite unburnt hydrocarbons, maximising heat output from every log.

The stove is DEFRA approved, meaning it can be used legally in smoke-control zones across the UK. For city dwellers or those in suburban areas, this makes the Vogue Midi Tall a practical option without compromising on style or performance.

Another aspect worth highlighting is user experience. The responsive air controls make it easy to adjust the burn rate, whether you’re looking for a gentle glow on a mild evening or a roaring blaze on a cold winter’s night. Coupled with the Airwash system, this ensures you spend more time enjoying the fire and less time cleaning the stove.

 

 

Practical Features

The tall logstore base is one of the most practical elements of the Vogue Midi Tall. Not only does it raise the firebox to a comfortable viewing height, but it also provides a dedicated space for storing logs. This is particularly useful in smaller living spaces where separate log baskets might otherwise clutter the floor.

Stovax has also designed the stove with modern home requirements in mind. An external air kit is available, allowing the stove to draw combustion air directly from outside the building rather than from the room itself. This is especially important for new-build properties or well-insulated homes that rely on mechanical ventilation systems.

Flue outlet options are another area where the stove demonstrates flexibility. With both top and rear flue connections available, the Vogue Midi Tall can be installed in a variety of settings. Its tall structure also creates a commanding presence when free-standing in an open space, while still being versatile enough to sit within a larger fireplace opening.

Maintenance is made straightforward with features such as an easy-to-use ashpan, accessible baffles, and durable door seals. These details make everyday use more convenient, extending the lifespan of the stove and ensuring it continues to perform at its best.

The Vogue Range Family

The Vogue Midi Tall is part of a wider family of stoves that allows homeowners to choose the perfect size and configuration for their needs. Alongside the Tall version, there is the standard Vogue Midi, which offers the same firebox in a shorter design. For those with smaller rooms, the Vogue Small is an option, while larger spaces can be catered for with the Vogue Medium.

What makes the Vogue Midi Tall unique is its blend of mid-sized firebox with extended proportions. It’s the sweet spot for those who want the balanced output of the Midi but with the added height, storage, and impact of the Tall design. It demonstrates Stovax’s understanding of different customer requirements, providing flexibility without compromising on the range’s core identity.

 

 

Installation & Compatibility

When it comes to installation, the Stovax Vogue Midi Tall offers versatility that appeals to both homeowners and installers. Its clearances to combustibles are modest, thanks to carefully engineered convection panels that keep outer surfaces cooler. This allows for easier placement in modern rooms where wall space might be limited.

For freestanding installations, the stove’s height works to its advantage, making it a strong statement piece in the centre of a room. Alternatively, it can be set into a wider fireplace chamber where the logstore base fills the void attractively.

The stove is also well-suited to modern building standards. With the option of external air supply, it can be installed in airtight homes without disrupting ventilation balance. Combined with its DEFRA approval, this makes the Vogue Midi Tall a future-proof choice for a variety of living environments.

Accessories & Options

Stovax provides several accessories and optional extras for the Vogue Midi Tall. Chief among these is the external air kit, which is increasingly recommended for modern properties.

Additional plinths and benches are available, offering more flexibility for room design. For instance, a bench can extend the width beneath the stove, creating space for decorative displays or additional log storage.

Flue finishing options are also worth considering, with matching enamelled flue pipes helping the installation blend seamlessly into the stove’s aesthetic. These small details elevate the final look, ensuring the installation feels cohesive.

The Stovax Vogue Midi Tall is a woodburner that delivers on multiple fronts. Its bold design and tall proportions ensure it stands out as a focal point in any room, while the practical logstore base adds both convenience and charm. Behind the striking aesthetics lies a stove engineered for modern living, with high efficiency, cleanburn technology, and DEFRA approval making it a smart and responsible choice.

Whether placed in a contemporary city home or a country cottage, the Vogue Midi Tall feels equally at home. It bridges the gap between style and substance, offering reliable performance without compromising on looks. For homeowners seeking a stove that is as practical as it is beautiful, the Stovax Vogue Midi Tall is a model that deserves serious consideration.
