Why Jotul Wood Stoves Are Made From Cast Iron

Well known for their quality built and beautifully designed hearth appliances, Jotul uses cast iron to construct their sought after wood stoves and gas stoves. Not only does this create solid products, the choice of cast iron is a wise one for a variety of reasons.

Because cast iron is hard wearing and extremely resistant to damage, the durability of this material is second to none. Heat is also stored naturally in cast iron thanks to the metal’s thermal mass and unique characteristics. That same warmth is also distributed evenly from the sides and top of Jotul wood stoves, making your home more comfortable and safe.

Cast iron will not deform over time, no matter how extreme the temperatures get, meaning the doors on your wood stove will fit tightly year after year and components will retain their strength and durability.

For all of these practical reasons, plus the incredible beauty and character that cast iron delivers, Jotul continues to construct sought after wood stoves in this dependable material.
