Technical documents
Is it right for you?
Who the ACR Woodpecker WP5 QLS Multifuel Stove suits best
The WP5 QLS is the full-size Woodpecker on a log store stand: the 5kW multifuel firebox raised to 857mm total height with your logs stored beneath. It is the pick for contemporary rooms where the stove stands as a piece of furniture, and for anyone who wants the raised fire view with a proper 40cm log capacity and smokeless-fuel flexibility.
From the survey
Installation notes for the ACR Woodpecker WP5 QLS Multifuel Stove
The stand changes the presence, not the plumbing: 125mm flue, 12mm hearth, multifuel grate. At 111kg total it gets the routine floor check on suspended timber floors. It reads best freestanding or in a tall opening; we check chamber height on the survey because the 857mm body wants headroom above it.
An honest steer
How it compares with similar models
Effectively a WP5 Plus experience on a stand: same 5kW nominal and A+ rating at a noticeably higher price than the Plus, so the stand is a considered choice rather than an impulse. Against the WP4 LS it brings full 5kW output and standard-length logs. If the stove will sit in a conventional chamber, the standard WP5 or Plus saves the difference.
Fitting it locally
Fitting the ACR Woodpecker WP5 QLS Multifuel Stove in Yorkshire homes
We propose the QLS for the modern extensions and garden rooms of the corridor, and for barn conversions where a freestanding stove on a visible twin-wall flue suits the height of the space. DEFRA approved for smoke control areas, multifuel flexibility included.

Common questions
ACR Woodpecker WP5 QLS Multifuel Stove FAQs
What does QLS mean on the Woodpecker WP5 QLS?
It is the WP5 firebox on an integrated log store stand, raising the stove to 857mm tall with log storage beneath. You get the raised fire view and a tidy home for the evening logs in one footprint.
Is the WP5 QLS worth it over the WP5 Plus?
If the stove stands free in the room, yes, the stand makes it a piece of furniture. If it will sit inside a chamber, the standard WP5 or WP5 Plus gives the same fire for considerably less, and we will tell you so.
Can the WP5 QLS burn smokeless fuel?
Yes, it is a true multifuel with a proper grate: seasoned logs or authorised smokeless fuels including anthracite, with DEFRA exemption for wood in smoke control areas.
Does the WP5 QLS need a special hearth?
The standard 12mm non-combustible decorative hearth, sized to regulations. Its 111kg weight means we routinely check suspended timber floors on the survey, which is quick and rarely a problem.
