Superior Fires is a gas and electric fire shop located in Christchurch, Dorset — not far from the beach and just a few minutes away from the A338. This shop has been around long enough to see the transition from wood burners to gas stoves, to the newest trend of LED electric fires that have been gaining in popularity and become their best-selling product.
We spoke with James Cooper, Sales Executive of Superior Fires, to get a pulse on the heating industry and see what new products they have for the upcoming heating season.

Deluxe Real Logs
Continuing to build a strong reputation
Over the last few years British Fires has become a ‘hot item’ in the Superior Fires showroom. The attention to detail in the design and manufacturing of each product is second to none. From their stoves to suites and the original New Forest 1200 each has garnered respect and admiration in home and heating related industries. British Fires continues to develop new products to expand their range and market reach. It is important to point out that much of their success is down to word of mouth which has built a reputation that can be trusted. So, seeing British Fires remaining a staple of the Superior Fires showroom should come as no surprise.
With the continued success of the British Fires products within the showroom they have been consistently updating and adding to the curated Electric section. There have been some exciting new products released this year and are getting ready to make their first deliveries of those electric fires.
James, from the Superior Showroom says, “An electric fire that is sure to be a ‘home run’ is the new Knightwood LED.” It is named after the lone 500+ year old Knightwood Oak tree located in the New Forest. The Knightwood electric fire mimics the oak tree with a prominent, portrait orientation and a viewing port nearly 1160mm tall and 717mm wide. It is perfect for customers who want to make a real statement in any living space. Deluxe Real Logs also come as standard here, so all customers get the authentic fireplace experience. “Installation, as with all our inset products, is simple and only requires a flat wall with enough internal depth or, a false chimney breast can be built to house the unit” exclaims James. “Come see the Knightwood now in our showroom and experience a true centrepiece.”
Hinton Cast Iron Stove
Another fire that has gone under lots of work behind the scenes and is now in the showroom is the Hinton Cast Iron Stove. It has the look and feel of a genuine wood burning stove but, as they say in Christchurch,
‘You won’t believe it’s electric.’ Currently on display is the Black Cast Iron stove equipped with their bespoke Deluxe Real Logs that genuinely look the part in this setup. The heater is located at the bottom of the stove, so it is safe to operate underneath any artwork or televisions. Other colour options will be available in 2024.
New Forest 2400 electric fire
Other items have received minor updates, such as the New Forest 2400 that now has a Deluxe Real Log fuel bed along with improved downlighting across the entire width of the fire. This fire simply looking amazing in the media wall installation. A must see for customers who want to do it big!
The beauty of these fires is not just the looks themselves but, that they can be operated for mere pennies a day with the just the LED flame-effect in operation. Meaning, the heating is a separate operation from the flame and lighting options controlled via the remote handset. You can enjoy the ambiance of award-winning LED flame-effects all year-round.
Inset Gas Stoves and Flueless Cast-Iron stove
Utility bill friendly heating
While British Fires remains a focus for the Superior showroom the other options of flueless gas fires and traditional inset fires must not be overlooked.
