Bosca Limit 350: The Budget Woodburner That Punches Above Its Weight

The Bosca Limit 350 delivers 3.5 kW of efficient heat in a compact convection design — all at a remarkable price of just £399.

Compact Performance at a Budget Price

The Bosca Limit 350 is designed for homeowners who want a reliable woodburner with modern convection technology, all at an affordable price. With a nominal output of 3.5 kW, this compact stove is perfect for smaller living rooms, garden offices, or cosy snug spaces. At a retail price of £545, reduced to just £399, the Limit 350 offers features that are rarely seen at this end of the market.

Design and Build

At first glance, the Limit 350 has the clean lines and modern steel construction you’d expect from Bosca’s Chilean heritage. Its flat firebed plate with grooved channels sets it apart from many competitors. Instead of a fixed grate, these grooves allow ash to be easily drawn forward and dropped into the ashpan beneath, simplifying daily maintenance.

The outer casing is designed with convection panels, drawing cooler room air from below, warming it as it rises between the firebox and body, and releasing it back into the room through three large vents on each side. This makes the Limit 350 more comfortable in smaller rooms, where radiant stoves can sometimes feel overpowering up close.

Performance and Efficiency

With a 3.5 kW nominal output, the Limit 350 is suited to spaces of 40–60 m², depending on insulation. It delivers a reliable, steady burn that’s ideal for everyday heating in smaller households.

Bosca equips the stove with a tertiary air injection system in the baffle plate. This feature introduces preheated air high in the firebox, ensuring gases are reignited for a cleaner and more efficient burn. At around 72% efficiency, the Limit 350 comfortably outperforms many stoves in the same price bracket.

 

 

Practical Features

The Limit 350 is top-flue only, with a 6-inch outlet. Its compact size — 71 cm tall, 38 cm wide, 49 cm deep, and weighing approximately 60 kg — makes it easy to position in tight spaces without dominating the room.

Inside, the vermiculite-lined firebox retains heat and improves combustion temperatures, while the grooved fireplate and ashpan system keep day-to-day cleaning simple. It’s a stove built with practicality in mind, yet without sacrificing efficiency or style.

Value for Money

At just £399 on promotion, the Bosca Limit 350 delivers incredible value. Many stoves at this price point in 2014 are little more than basic radiant boxes with none of the refinements offered here. With its convection body, tertiary air injection, and thoughtful ash-handling system, the Limit 350 punches well above its weight.

For buyers seeking a dependable, modern woodburner for a small to medium-sized room, the Bosca Limit 350 stands out as one of the most compelling options available today.

Final Thoughts on the Bosca Limit 350

The Bosca Limit 350 proves that small stoves don’t have to compromise on performance.

Compact, efficient, and practical, it’s perfectly suited for smaller homes and snug spaces where ease of use and affordability are just as important as heat output.

For homeowners seeking an entry-level woodburner with thoughtful design features, the Limit 350 remains one of the most appealing choices of its time — a stove that makes modern heating accessible without breaking the bank.
