Wood burning stoves

The choice of log size is very important for several reasons: dimensions of the stove, necessary storage space and price of fuel. Regarding this last aspect, very important in this period, we can say that 25 cm logs are 20% more expensive than 50 cm logs, while 33 cm logs are 10% more expensive than 50 cm logs.

Wood stoves can be made of steel or cast iron. Both materials are very heat resistant and the quality of the stove is rather linked to their thickness. The cast iron structure has greater thermal inertia and therefore gentler heat diffusion. The steel structure is more responsive and, therefore, heat diffusion faster.

Radiant heat is the optimal choice if you want pleasant warmth diffused over a long period of time. Using a simple adjustment knob, you can choose rapid heat diffusion by convection or slow diffusion by radiation.

Natural stone has the particular ability to store heat and release it slowly. The high density of the different types of stone and the particular stove construction ideally combine the capacity of the heat storage stove to store and slowly release heat with the slow and controlled combustion of the wood stove which distributes heat evenly .
