A combination of secondary heat-retaining glazing as well as combustion air jets and air flow diversion assist to keep the internal temperatures high, which results in a much more complete combustion of the gases generated by the fuel. This reduces harmful emissions and also reduces the amount of particles released in the atmosphere.
The result is an efficient stove that has an enormous glass window to view the fire. You can choose from a variety of colors and the chrome pedestal matches your interior. This top-loading stove has a large flat surface to place pans and kettles on.
