Cast Iron Wood Stove

Cast Iron has been a popular choice in manufacturing wood stoves for many years. There are a number of advantages of using cast iron, some of those were even recognized many years ago when Ben Franklin built his first stoves. While cast iron may take a little longer to heat up, it retains the heat much longer than steel. So even after the fire has extinguished itself, there is residual heat released into the room. Additionally given the heat retention qualities of cast iron, the fire will burn at much higher temperatures inside the firebox, which will assist in obtaining complete combustion of the wood products. Cast iron also allows the manufacturer to apply a more decorative design to the stove and even porcelain coat the cast iron wood stove .

The new steel stoves are very efficient and clean burning. Recent developments in the manufacturing process has enabled the steel stove manufacturer to make his stove very decorative.
