For centuries in Europe and Asia masonry heaters were used to heat the home. They are still commonly used in these locations for the sake of environmental friendliness and continued tradition. Fuel to generate warmth has always been a precious commodity, and the attraction of a masonry heater is that it uses a minimum amount of fuel to produce a maximum amount of heat.
In a seemingly counter-intuitive practice, the fire in a masonry heater is not kept burning continuously, but deliberately designed to burn down quickly. The heater maintains a comfortable temperature for hours through masonry stored heat that radiates warmth.
Masonry heaters typically are multi-functional and often include a heater, a bake oven, a cook stove, cozy sitting benches and wood storage.
Most homeowners locate their masonry heaters in a part of the house where the family congregates. Consequently, the heaters are designed to enhance the aesthetic quality of the room.
