The Spruce Stove

Presenting, the unconventional contemporary wood stove- The Spruce.Michiel Martens and Roel de Boer, designers from Netherlands created this non-traditional stove which feds on the complete tree trunk instead of chopped wood logs. Their idea was to create something more adventurous and fun to use. Conventional stoves have a door from where the wood is fed into the stove, the Spruce has a shutter, which looks like the shutter of a digital camera.

Any onlooker may think that the stove will throw out flames as soon as the shutter opens, it isn’t the case, rather the draft keeps the fire inside.The stove provides sufficient heat to keep the place warm throughout the day by consuming a four feet long hard wood trunk. The inside of the steel drum is lined with bricks made of concrete which has the capacity to bear the heat of the flames and transmits this energy into warmth.

The Bruno

This stove is a black metallic cylinder with tubes coming out of it from the top and the bottom of the cylinder with the stove lying horizontally on the floor. The front has a metal door with glass on it. There are 10 tubes, which come out from the top and the same numberof tubes are present at the base.

This is the reason this metal cylinder stoveis named The Bruno T10. These tubes collectively pass 15 kW of heat to the room where the heater is kept. The Bruno stove comes with an optional boiler, to heat water. The water boiler has the capacity to produce 3kW of heat to boil water.
