Elmira Stove Works, Elmira, Ontario, Canada, released a line of vintage-style Fireview cookstoves. The Fireview is a wood-burning cookstove that has a viewing door, high-efficiency burn with secondary air and glass-wash, and optional propane side burners.

“We tend to think of modern appliances as having all of the great multi-tasking features, but it is difficult to beat a traditional wood-burning cookstove for a unique design aesthetic and versatility,” says Brian Hendrick, vice president of Elmira Stove Works.

Elmira offers the Fireview in three models, including a 36-inch wood-burning model 1840; 48-inch model 1842-0 with a second warmer on the right and a work surface above; and 48-inch model 1842-G with second warmer and two 11,000 BTU propane burners on the right side.

With the environment in mind, this one appliance can serve as a high-output room heater, a cooking appliance, a recreational fire-viewing stove and a source of hot water. The Fireview has an optional hot water “jacket” that will produce up to twelve gallons of hot water per hour.

The Fireview door, originally included for aesthetic reasons, also allows the owner to monitor the fire without opening the door or losing heat. A 1.5-cubic-foot firebox, combined with the efficiency of the stove, provides up to 60,000 BTUs of heat, which is enough to heat a 1,400 to 2,100 square-foot space.

The company has been manufacturing vintage-styled ranges since 1975, and offers several lines of “circa-1850” and retro 1950s appliances, including ranges, refrigerators, microwaves, wall ovens, range hoods and wood-burning cookstoves.
