Efficient Heating in a Beautiful Package
Soapstone masonry heaters offer beauty, efficiency, and a timeless technology that cannot be found in standard wood-burning stoves. Unlike traditional fireplaces, which emit blistering short-lived convection heat in close proximity, soapstone stores and releases heat slowly. The heat released feels very much like the warmth provided by afternoon light in a sunroom.
