Provence Hybrid 6kW Gas & Electric Heater With Cylinder

The Provence Hybrid puts two separate heat sources inside one cast iron stove. A 4kW real flame gas fire sits behind the glass door with a synthetic log set, and a 2kW electric fan heater is built into the same body, giving a combined 6kW rating. It measures 824mm high, 460mm wide and 520mm deep, rolls on fitted castors, and holds a butane cylinder of between 5kg and 15kg out of sight behind a lift-off back panel. It needs no flue, no chimney and no mains gas connection, so all the heat produced by the burner stays in the room.

Should you run the Provence Hybrid on gas or electric?

Use the gas fire for main heating. It gives 4kW gross from a butane cylinder, with high and low flame settings, and works without mains power. Use the 2kW electric side for a faster top-up wherever a socket is in reach, at 1kW or 2kW. Running both together reaches the full 6kW.

The Provence has been one of our most popular heaters. Buyers point to the same handful of reasons: a real flame behind glass, cast iron weight, a gas bottle hidden inside the body and warmth in minutes. The Hybrid keeps every one of those and adds the 2kW fan heater on top, so one stove covers a mild evening in October, a cold snap in January and the days when the mains power drops out.

Conservatories, garden rooms, home offices, workshops and older cottages suit this style of stove, warming one room properly while the central heating stays off. The gas controls sit under the lift-up lid, where a single knob covers the pilot setting, low flame and high flame, with a battery spark button alongside. The electric dial turns anti-clockwise for fan only on low or high, and clockwise for 1kW or 2kW of heat. Both heat settings bring the fan in automatically on low, so warm air travels out into the room rather than gathering around the stove.

Room size matters with any flueless appliance. Universal Innovations specifies a minimum room volume of 64 cubic metres, 80 square centimetres of purpose-provided ventilation and 0.6m of clearance above and to the sides. At maximum flame the burner uses 290g of butane an hour, which works out at roughly 51 hours of continuous full-output running from a 15kg cylinder. Flame failure protection and an oxygen depletion system are fitted, the glass door doubles as a guard, and the stove carries a 2 year manufacturer guarantee.
