Splitting logs for the fireplace may belong to the past: a new stove design can burn whole logs. This saves a lot of effort if you prepare wood yourself, and can reduce additional costs if you buy it.
Designer wood stove – modern and functional heating
The wood stove provides a convenient heating alternative to electricity and gas. Who could resist the romantic atmosphere created by crackling wood? But before you can enjoy that sophisticated warmth, there is hard work to do: the wood must be split and regularly fed into the stove. The wood stove project by Michiel Martens and Roel de Boer saves effort because it can burn whole logs. The fire burns in a vertical drum, while the stainless-steel design supports the tree trunk on wheels. The trunk simply needs to be pushed inward regularly. The longer the trunk, the longer the stove burns.
Wood stove design with a new concept
The wood stove has a new design concept that turns out to be extremely functional. To make the investment worthwhile, you can arrange a supply of logs directly from forest owners or wholesalers. Choosing the right type of wood can also save costs. Hardwood burns longer than softwood and creates a beautiful flame pattern. The timber must be stored with care. Dry wood burns cleanly and produces less smoke.
The construction details of the wood stove require careful planning and the right location. The oven requires more space than a traditional fireplace, so it is not really suitable for small rooms. It is best to keep the wood stove away from combustible flooring, such as parquet, laminate, or carpet. The oven should not be placed too close to curtains near a window. Regular drum cleaning is an absolute must.
Wood burning logs – and you avoid splitting the wood
Heating with wood is cheaper than gas or electricity
An original concept, perfect execution
The logs should be stored indoors
The drum rotates during the burn
