Both Traditional and Contemporary wood burning stoves can be built with either cast iron or steel. For contemporary stoves there are generally more options in steel than cast iron. A bit of folk lore exists that seems to say that cast is better than steel. This is not the case: a good cast stove will be as good as a good steel stove. The use of cast iron or steel is purely a choice made by the manufacturer. A lot of British-built stoves are steel as this was familiar to us. Likewise French and Belgian stoves are mainly cast iron, as this process was most familiar to them. The main difference is that a steel stove heats up and delivers its output more quickly than a cast stove. However, while this is convenient in some instances, the cast stove will hold its heat more, cooling slower, and therefore providing a slightly more even heat delivery. Many of the stoves in the range from Stoveco are also available as multi-fuel stoves which will burn either wood or smokeless fuel. |
