Check out these beautiful stoves from Europe

No thanks. I wouldn't want one of those.
The first thing I thought of as I was "speed viewing" them was they me of wedding cakes!

 

I think they are gorgeous. How did you find that web page?

 

I thought the same thing. They look way too fancy for my house.

 

And some of those are HUGE!!
They look like something the Pope might have in the Vatican too.


"Wedding cakes" !

According to Google translator...that is a Polish text.

Poland.

 

I think they are really cool ! I was in Europe back in 1986 and saw these in several places, i think I even have some pictures somewhere. It is my understanding they are a thermal mass type stove, they light a very hot fire in the morning and it puts off heat all day after the fire goes out. I would love to have one, brings back a lot of memories.

 

Got it , thanks. For some reason I thought that you could read that. (I can )

 

As they say....not my cup of tea.

 

All they need is a built in chocolate fountain, and a weenie roller.


The cook stoves are pretty freaking cool though.

 

Anyone else notice that very few of them have a visible flue? Are they just for decoration?

 

Saw that but figured most were close to wall and figured the flue was hidden there. But then again I wasn't sure if some were even stoves.

I did like the cook stoves Horkn

 

I have never seen a flue on a wedding cake....

 

It helps when your walls are cement block or brick. Even the floors are poured concrete so no clearances to be concerned with.

 

I wish I could retrofit something like that into my fireplace and clad it in soapstone instead of the tile. It already has a lot if mass in the brick and it is built out into the rooms with the front and sides, not just the face of it.

At the first Woodstock gtg they had a soapstone masonry heater set up. It was pretty impressive.
