Stoves have been used for centuries to heat spaces around the world. In ancient Greece and Rome, braziers and ovens were used to heat rooms, while during the Middle Ages, cast iron stoves were mainly used in churches.
In the 18th century, designers began experimenting with different types of stoves, leading to the invention of the first modern stove, the Franklin Stove, which became popular in the United States thanks to Benjamin Franklin.
During the Industrial Revolution, cast iron stoves became a luxury item for the middle class and were designed with ornamental elements, turning them into decorative pieces as well. Kerosene stoves were also invented in Europe, allowing people to heat their homes without using wood or coal.
By the late 19th century, stoves had become smaller and more portable, allowing people to move them from room to room. Gas stoves were also invented, becoming very popular in households worldwide due to being cleaner, safer, and more efficient than the coal and wood stoves of the time. In the 1930s, the first electric stove was invented—easy to use, portable, and free from smoke and toxic gases.
Today, wood-burning stoves have evolved to become increasingly efficient and safe, thanks to advanced technologies such as double combustion systems and ventilation systems.

Thinking of Installing a Wood-Burning Stove or Fireplace? Here’s Why Vermiculite is a Great Choice
If you’ve made it this far, it’s probably because you’re considering installing a wood-burning stove or fireplace in your home. Like everything else, these have evolved over time, incorporating new materials into their composition. One material that has gained significant popularity in the industry is vermiculite.
Keep reading to learn more about what vermiculite is, along with its properties and advantages.
Vermiculite is a mineral composed of iron, aluminium, and magnesium. It has unique properties that have made it one of the most widely used materials in the industry, primarily due to its excellent insulation and heat-reflecting capabilities.
Thanks to its composition, vermiculite is highly fire-resistant, which is why it is becoming increasingly common as the main interior lining material in stoves and fireplaces. The vermiculite panels placed inside the combustion chamber create an insulated space that helps retain heat.
As you can see, fireplaces with a vermiculite-lined combustion chamber offer numerous benefits compared to those that don’t use it. If you’re looking for a high-performance, efficient, and durable fireplace for your home, a vermiculite-lined model is an excellent choice!
