How to break in a new stove?

For a newly built tile stove, a 20-step "curing fire" process is required.
During the first 5 occasions, only 1–2 kg of thin, dry kindling should be used.



Why is seasoned firewood important?

Using wet wood causes tar buildup (creosote), soot accumulation, and can lead to dangerous chimney fires.

Recommended wood types (with drying times):

  • Black Locust / Acacia (1–1.5 years)
  • Beech, Oak (2–3 years)
  • Turkey Oak (3–4 years)



What is forbidden to burn?

  • Plastics
  • Particle board / Chipboard
  • Pine (due to high resin content)
  • Lighting the fire with oil or flammable liquids



Electric Tile Stoves and Fireplaces

An electric stove or fireplace is an excellent solution if:

  • There is no chimney or possibility to build one
  • Firewood storage is an issue
  • Convenience is a priority
  • Combined with solar panels, it pays for itself quickly
  • Rapid heating is required
  • App and thermostat control is desired
  • Clean heating and radiant heat are preferred

Fully electric tile stoves and fireplaces are equipped with electrically heated chamotte (firebrick) plates. Any size or shape of stove can be heated this way, thanks to its thermal mass and built-in firebricks.

The surface provides uniform, well-regulated, and consistent warmth throughout the room.

It is excellent for maintaining a base temperature during transitional seasons (spring/autumn) to improve comfort.

The authentic atmosphere of a fire can be recreated with an integrated electric flame effect!



Hybrid Stoves and Fireplaces

A Hybrid system is an excellent solution because:

  • It can be heated with both electricity and wood
  • Maximum convenience and flexibility
  • Quick ROI when used with a solar panel system
  • Rapid heating capability
  • App and thermostat controllable
  • Clean heating with radiant heat benefits
  • Individual sections of the stove can be heated separately

Hybrid tile stoves and fireplaces utilize heating cables running along the internal walls. Since the cables are placed between layers, leaving the firebox and flue paths free, "traditional" wood-burning remains fully operational.

You don't have to give up the ambience of a real fire, yet the system can be operated remotely—perfect for when you are away, or for holiday homes and weekend cottages.

Different parts of the stove can be heated independently; for instance, you can heat only the bench seat or just one side of a wall-integrated stove if you only need extra warmth in one specific room.

Ideal for maintaining temperature during transitional seasons to enhance your home's thermal comfort.
