A Rustic Dovre Fireplace

Cast iron fireplace designs allow a variety of styles to choose from and are typically more contemporary in the look and feel of a freestanding model. Although cast iron fireplaces can tolerate high heat and temperature fluctuations for long periods, the drawback of this material is that replacement parts are costly. This cost can be attributed to the fact that individual models have their own master patterns for casting parts.

The ability of cast iron to withstand high temperatures and temperature fluctuations makes it a valuable material which is used in the manufacturing of wood burning stoves. The variation in Dovre’s designs allow for décor lovers to match their look and feel of their interior to beautiful fireplaces. Cast iron hearths are able to disperse heat efficiently which makes this material a popular choice in fireplace design and manufacturing.

1. Never use wet wood as this causes a fireplace to smoke unnecessarily, blackens windows with soot, drops the heat output and requires double the amount of wood to burn.
2. Use only very dry and well-seasoned wood.
3. Use reliable and well-known firelighters and chopped kindling to start a fire.
4. Never use liquid fuels, tarred wood, fine coal, pallets etc. to start a fire.
5. Never use your fireplace to get rid of documentation or waste.
