Collection: Wood burning stoves
A wood burner (also known as a log burner or wood-burning stove) is an enclosed heating appliance designed to burn wood fuel to provide high-intensity warmth and a rustic focal point. Unlike traditional open fires ,wood burners use a closed metal firebox to control airflow, making them up to 80% efficient compared to just 15–20% for an open hearth.
Key Features
- Construction: Typically made of cast iron for heat retention or steel for faster heating.
- Airwash System: Many models use a powerful airwash system that forces hot air down the inside of the glass door to keep it clear of soot and provide an uninterrupted view of the flames.
- Dual Air Controls: Feature primary (bottom) and secondary (top) air controls to manage the burn rate and ensure "secondary combustion," where unburnt gases are ignited for a cleaner fire.
- Installation: Can be freestanding on a hearth or "inset" (recessed) into an existing fireplace.
