There are absolutely countless iron fireplaces here in Norway, they been the most popular installations for decades.
The modern ones with afterburn contour are also quite efficient in energy output per unit fuel burned.
- vidarh 6y agoJøtul [1], one of the the largest manufacturers of fireplaces in Norway has been around since 1853, manufacturing mostly cast iron fireplaces. The considerations are different, though. Cast iron is great if you want to radiate as much heat as possible as fast as possible or need to heat a small area (e.g. single room per heater). There's a reason small cast-iron Jøtul fireplaces used to be the stereotypical heater for cabins etc. in Norway. [1] https://www.jotul.com/ https://www.jotul.com/
