Yes, The broad range of sizes and models makes it possible
to use a Tulikivi almost anywhere - from an open floor plan to a small enclosed room, such as
a cozy den. Your Tulikivi dealer will help you choose the right fireplace for your needs.
Back To Top
Yes, depending on the size, location, and installation of your
house. (An electric backup option is available.) A Tulikivi works extremely well as a secondary
heat supply and can be a great comfort during power outages caused by severe weather.
Back To Top
Yes. New, very tight houses may require an inlet for outside "make up" air. This can be done with an inexpensive vent.
Back To Top
No. Because the fire burns so clean, soot and creosote are rarely a problem, and the high heat of the fire burns bakeoven spills away. Fly ash does build up, but is easy to brush out. As with any fireplace, you should have your chimney professionally cleaned once a year.
Back To Top
Very. The soapstone gets warm in normal use - but never dangerously hot
as, for example, a cast-iron woodstove does. Scientific studies show radiant heat to be among the
healthiest forms available. All Tulikivi fireplaces and products meet Underwriter's Laboratory
(UL/ULC) standards.
Back To Top
No. Unlike many other wood-burning heating devices, the Tulikivi is not finicky. Any seasoned wood will burn well. Logs should be 12" - 16" long and a maximum of four inches in diameter.
Back To Top
Yes. Cooking with radiant heat is a wonderful experience. Anything you can cook in a conventional oven can be cooked in a Tulikivi oven. With a little practice you will learn to requlate the temperature (indicated by a gauge) with the amount of wood you use and be able to turn out delicious meals.
