What are the benefits of a cast wood burning fireplace?

Because cast iron is so strong, it is unlikely to warp or bend, thus ensuring that the stove will last for a long time. Although steel heats up faster compared to cast iron, cast iron retains heat and keeps the room warm and cozy long after the fire has gone out.

Traditionally reliable
Stoves have been created for many years using cast iron; it is an extremely sturdy, strong, and durable material providing for years of use – the perfect wood burner material! Also, cast iron stoves are made up of a number of individual parts, should one part become damaged then it can easily be replaced further prolonging the life of the appliance.

The heat
When picking your perfect wood-burning fireplace, one of the key attributes you want it to have is significant heat production. A cast iron stove is a classic choice – they can heat the room they are in quickly whilst retaining the heat for longer than a steel model could. This leads to the heat being released over a longer time period (even after the stove has finished actively burning!) and distributing the heat throughout your home, not just in one area.

Efficient
wood burning fireplaces are also excellent when it comes to energy efficiency. Whilst you may not think of an open fireplace in this way, cast iron log burners are able to convert more of their fuel into heat thanks to their design, creating greater efficiency.
