Riederinger Hafnerei: Armchair stove with viewing panel for cozy warmth

Cooking on a wood-burning stove is currently experiencing a noticeable renaissance. At the Heim+Handwerk trade fair in Munich, Riederinger Hafnerei will be explaining why chair stoves with a hotplate are in high demand and what advantages modern designs offer over classic wood-burning stoves.

Armchair stove as a combination of hob and heat accumulator

The chair stove combines two functions in one system: it is used both for cooking and for heating the living room. Due to its construction, it is designed for high heat storage and gives off the generated heat evenly over many hours. At the Heim+Handwerk trade fair, it will be demonstrated how a comparatively compact stove can achieve a high heat output. At the same time, the stove remains suitable for everyday use as the hotplate can be used directly.

Combination of heating and cooking
High storage capacity thanks to solid materials
Even heat emission into the living area

The result is a stove that is both functional and homely.

Fire visible, operation deliberately kept simple

The large viewing panel is a key feature of modern armchair stoves. It allows a view of the fire and turns the stove into a design element in the room. The logs are inserted via a large door, which makes loading easier. The stove is operated using a manual control lever. In addition, an electronic stove control can be used to optimize efficiency and store heat better. At the trade fair, it will be explained how this makes combustion more controlled.

Large viewing window for visible fire
Manual operation with optional electronics
Controlled combustion for efficient use

This keeps the stove technically sophisticated but easy to control.

Heat storage via fireclay and tiles

The smoke heat generated during combustion is directed via fireclay flues. These conduct the heat to the tiles, which act as a storage mass. This means that the heat is not released immediately, but is dissipated into the room with a time delay. At Heim und Handwerk, it will be demonstrated that this construction method enables heat to be released for around 12 to 14 hours. The effect of the stove thus extends far beyond the actual heating process.

Utilization of the smoke heat via fireclay flues
Tiles as effective heat accumulators
Long-lasting heat emission

This creates a pleasant, even radiant heat.

Retrofitting and individual design

Armchair stoves with hotplates can also be retrofitted into existing living spaces. An existing chimney is an advantage here. According to the trade fair, the complete installation takes about a week. In terms of design, the stoves are very variable. The tiles characterize the appearance and can be individually designed. In addition to classic tiled stoves, modern variants with plaster, ceramic or steel are also possible, which can be adapted to contemporary living concepts.

Subsequent installation possible
Installation time of around one week
Individual design of surface and shape

This allows the stove to be integrated into both existing buildings and modern living spaces.

Handcrafted stove construction with an eye on current Trends

The high demand for wood-burning stoves with hotplates shows that many people are once again turning to wood as a source of heat. Riederinger Hafnerei combines this trend with handcrafted stove construction and individual planning. Each stove is adapted to the room and its use. Size, choice of material and technical equipment are coordinated in advance so that no standard product is created.
