Charnwood South Africa & Island Fires

Closed combustion 'stoves' are all the rage in South Africa these days but that has been the case in Europe for several decades.

'Closing' your fireplace basically means you burn less fuel for more heat than a traditional open fire place or 'Hex' style steel fireplace. They also burn 'cleaner' because the higher temperatures generated inside a stove burn more of the waste, volatile gases that would normally be expelled into the atmosphere.

A good quality stove will last you a lifetime.

South Africa is an ideal climate for a stove as it can provide you with the warmth you need to take the edge off winter. Our homes here are built to keep us cool in summer - not warm in winter so a stove will keep you comfortable until the sun returns!

There are plenty of brands available. Lower budget and higher budget. We believe that any important purchase should only be done once which is why we import the Charnwood brand - www.charnwood.com.
