- 1. Choose a durable item that does not break easily
- What should you base your decision on when selecting a wood stove? Performance? Design? Price? Durability is the most important quality in a stove.
If a stove breaks, it costs about 100,000yen to repair.
High-performance catalytic stoves have many parts and tend to be fragile. But don't worry. We will help you select a hybrid model that will not break easily. - 2.If the design is important to you
- Consider the length of firewood you are going to use carefully before choosing a stove.
- 3.If a good price is important to you
- As of October 2015, many importers have raised the prices.
However, we still have some stoves in the 150,000 yen - 200,000 yen range, contact us if interested. - 4. If you live in the city
- If you plan on using the stove in the city and are concerned about odors and smoke, choose a high-performance stove.
- 5. Wood-burning stoves to burn coniferous wood
- We also offer wood-burning stoves that can burn coniferous wood. These stoves have a triple structure of refractory bricks, iron plates, and castings. Feel free to contact us for more information.
- 6. Double chimneys
- There are more than 10 types of double chimneys. It is important to know the material of the double chimney. Try to choose an item made of materials that are listed and specified. There are double chimneys that among their materials have stainless steel including rare metals. There are various items made in the UK or China, but it is important to note that even some of the well-known imported goods are expensive but do not have elevated quality.
- 7. Cleaning double chimneys
- Some stove shops say that you don't have to clean the double chimney, but this is a misconception. You have to clean your double chimney once or twice a year. If for some reason a fire occurs inside the flue, it will burn at 800~1000℃ .
- 8. There tend to be shortages of Japanese Oak (Nara) and Sawtooth Oak (Kunugi)
- A lot of firewood has become unusable due to the cesium scattered in the mountains after the nuclear accident in Fukushima Prefecture. There is a shortage of firewood. The cultivation of Shiitake mushrooms and the manufacture of dried bonito are being prioritized and this results in shortages of woods like Japanese Oak (Nara) and Sawtooth Oak (Kunugi). If you have trouble getting firewood, contact us as we have wood stoves that can burn not only Japanese Oak (Nara) and Sawtooth Oak (Kunugi) but also coniferous wood like Pine.
- 9. About heavy rains and roofing
- There are materials such as aluminum, zinc, and stainless steel. The fragility differs depending on the material, but the material is difficult to understand at the time of purchase. Stainless steel is the most durable, and zinc and aluminum are the most fragile. Be sure to check the material when purchasing.
