Kolvyn 598 Wood Stove with Log Store, 8 kW

The air on Kolvyn 598 is set with a single lever, and the glass stays clear because the wash air enters above the door rather than through it.

The door seals on a braided rope gasket in a machined channel. That channel is the part that decides whether a stove still shuts tight after a decade of slamming.

Secondary and tertiary air are pre-heated before they reach the fire, which is what burns the smoke instead of sending it up the flue. Twenty seasons of use leave the paint tired long before the steel gives up.

Care

Sweep the flue once a season and check the door rope every autumn: a stove that has started smoking into the room is almost always a seal, not a chimney.
