Enhance the Christmas spirit with a wood burning stove or fireplace from Italy’s MCZ (pronounced “zed”) Stoves. Formerly the bastion of rural outposts—and often employed for aesthetic effect more than functional heating—wood burning stoves (and pellet stoves) now rival or exceed other forms of heating for efficiency, cost, and cleanliness.

MCZ is leading this transformation. The company’s line of stoves and fireplaces are “hermetic” or airtight, meaning the oxygen required for combustion is taken from outside the home.

This translates to greater control over the combustion process, resulting in a cleaner, more efficient burn.

Further, MCZ’s Comfort Air system employs small diameter duct work to channel warm air into other rooms, potentially making a single stove into a whole-house heating system. Other options include hydro-fireplace models that heat domestic water for radiators or for hands-on use.


MCZ offers a wide range of styles, including lower maintenance pellet stoves, to suit any décor. Check out MCZ for additional information. And see Designer Pages for other innovative wood-burning options.
