The Lacunza Biarritz is a cast iron stove with a distinct frame around a large glass front. Its more traditional, pronounced cast iron design gives it a different look from the Bidart, which has a cleaner and more cohesive front.
Behind the glass is a firebox lined with vermiculite, grates and an ash drawer. Double combustion and air supply along the glass aid combustion, while access to deflectors and flue paths simplifies sweeping and inspection. The combination provides a classic exterior with features for modern wood burning.
The Biarritz is ideal when you want the details of the cast iron to be visible and the stove to become a feature in the room. Choose the model based on the chimney location, the floor's load-bearing capacity and the clearances required according to the installation manual.
Installation
Follow Lacunza's manual and applicable Swedish regulations. The smoke flue must be airtight, easy to clean, and correctly sized, and the stove requires sufficient access to combustion air.
Burning
Use dry wood and follow the manual's recommendations for lighting, fuel quantity, and air control. Avoid allowing wood to strike the interior vermiculite lining.
Cleaning and Chimney Sweeping
Allow the stove to cool completely before cleaning. Empty the ash compartment as needed and carefully clean the glass and combustion chamber. The deflectors can be removed without tools when the smoke passages need to be accessed. Regularly inspect the chimney, seals, and smoke passages.
First Burn
Start with smaller amounts of wood and gradually increase the temperature so that the combustion chamber, seals, and surface finish are gradually seasoned. Ventilate the room if materials or paint emit odors during the first burns.
Burning and Air Control
Use dry, untreated wood and follow Lacunza's manual for fuel quantity and air control. Double combustion and glass air wash work best when the air passages are kept clear and the combustion chamber is not overloaded. Open the door gently when adding wood and avoid overfiring.
