Before the cold season, review your cast iron stove and its surroundings. This checklist is not a substitute for professional inspection or the manufacturer's instructions.
Ask a qualified professional to assess the chimney, draft, cleaning needs and connections before first use. Do not use the stove if you notice damage or smoke returning indoors. Browse stove pipe options with your installer.
Check the floor, clearances and installation instructions. Compare the dimensions of the 60 × 60 cm stove base and 75 × 75 cm stove base. A log holder and four-piece fireplace tool set can help keep the area organised.
Consider fuel type, dimensions, flue compatibility and your heating needs together. The Troya Maxi cast iron stove lists 18.21 kW output and a 130 mm flue outlet. Explore other cast iron stove models and confirm suitability with a professional.
