The Lacunza Bidart is a compact cast iron stove with a large, flat glass front and a more minimalist look than the Biarritz. The clear view of the fire is combined with a dark cast iron body whose details do not take up as much visual space.
The firebox is lined with vermiculite and features a grate and ash drawer. The air wash system helps keep the glass cleaner during combustion, while accessible deflectors make the smoke paths easier to clean. The model uses double combustion but still requires the right amount of wood and a functioning air supply.
Choose the Bidart if you want cast iron but prefer a flat and calmer front than that of more traditionally designed stoves. Check the chimney connection, floor protection, and safety distances before determining the placement.
Installation and placement
Install Bidart according to Lacunza's installation instructions and applicable Swedish requirements. Plan the flue system so that it can be inspected and swept along its entire length, and ensure that the room receives sufficient combustion air. Floor protection and distances to combustible materials must comply with the installation guidelines.
Burning
Use dry wood with dimensions that fit in the combustion chamber and follow the manual's recommendations for wood quantity and air control. Double combustion depends on the correct air supply, so avoid closing the air controls too early during lighting and burning.
Cleaning and ongoing maintenance
Allow the stove and ashes to cool completely before cleaning. Empty the ash drawer as needed, keep the glass and combustion chamber clean, and handle the vermiculite plates with care. The deflectors can be removed by hand without tools when the flue passages need to be accessed. Regularly check the seals, flue connection, and interior lining, and follow the applicable intervals for chimney sweeping and fire safety inspections.
First burn
Start with smaller amounts of wood and gradually increase the temperature so that the combustion chamber, seals, and surface finish are seasoned in a controlled manner. 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 wood quantity and air control. Double combustion and glass air washing 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.
