Cast Iron Stove Models
A cast iron stove stores heat in its heavy body and keeps warming the room after the fire dies down. Browse our wood and coal burning models below and pick the output that suits your space.

A cast iron stove is one of the most durable wood-burning options. While sheet steel stoves heat up and cool down quickly, a cast iron body stores heat and releases it slowly, giving an even temperature throughout the day. We have been manufacturing stoves in Kestel, Bursa since 1957, and our cast iron stoves are the most classic part of that heritage.
Cast Iron vs Sheet Steel
| Feature | Cast iron | Sheet steel |
|---|---|---|
| Heat-up | Slower | Fast |
| Heat retention | Long after the fire dies | Cools quickly |
| Durability | Resists warping at high heat | May warp over time |
Fuel and Sizing
- Use seasoned hardwood with moisture below 20%.
- Add coal in small amounts once the fire is established.
- Never burn painted wood, plastic or household waste.
Softwoods such as pine light quickly and are useful as kindling, but they burn fast and leave more soot, so use them sparingly. Plan for roughly 0.08–0.12 kW per square metre. Our Classic Cast Iron Stove measures 60x45x80 cm and suits living rooms and cabins; send us your floor area and insulation details for advice.
Care and Safety
Light the stove with paper and kindling, add larger logs once the fire is lively, then close the air control gradually as the body warms up. Empty the ash regularly, keep the grate clear and have the flue cleaned at the start of every season. Break in a new stove with small fires, and never pour water on a hot body. A carbon monoxide detector is an inexpensive, effective precaution. If you prefer automatic, thermostat-controlled heating, see our pellet stoves. For model advice and a quote, contact us.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is a cast iron stove the same as a wood stove?
A cast iron stove is a type of wood stove. "Wood stove" describes the fuel, "cast iron" describes the body material, which is heavier and holds heat longer than sheet steel.
Can I burn coal in a cast iron stove?
Yes. Our cast iron stoves burn both wood and coal. Add coal gradually once the fire has settled and keep the grate clean so air can reach it from below.
Can a cast iron stove crack?
Rarely, if used correctly. Cracks usually come from sudden temperature changes, such as overloading a cold stove or splashing water on a hot one. Start with small fires and avoid overfiring.
