INGENUITY IN EVERY DETAIL
Ingenious mechanisms were incorporated in Stûv 6-in ’ s design to ensure optimal use . These include a handle in a cool area beneath the appliance , a detachable support casing that facilitates installation , a bimetal system that favours air intake and makes it easier to light a fire when the appliance is cold , and a slanted smoke outlet option to connect to a chimney pipe further away . The Stûv 6-in also features a hinged door with two hooks for extra solidity and an airtight seal , and a cast iron combustion chamber that provides high heat resistance and maximizes performance . Finally , the Stûv 6-in is autonomous thanks to its factoryconfigured air intake , which delivers just the right amount of air to the combustion chamber for peak efficiency . Gone are the days of fiddling with the damper to get the perfect air flow ! Simply light the fire , sit back , and enjoy .
Different finishing frames can be selected to complete the look . The thin edge frame is delicate , with an understated look that creates a discreet finish . The picture-type frame is made of steel and is available in different widths . The latter is ideal for larger masonry hearths , as it creates a polished finish all around the unit ’ s facade .
A WOOD-BURNING INSERT THAT TRANSCENDS TIME
Many ancestral homes have a masonry hearth . Unfortunately , these fireplaces , which date back to another era , are not adapted to current environmental guidelines . They are not airtight , and thus emit fine particles at a rate well above North American standards . The Stûv 6-in wood-burning insert was designed to make these hearths more efficient and environmentally friendly .
The new and growing Stûv 6 family of products currently includes two models . Several other sizes will soon be available in North America .
