The Lacunza Tarbes differs from straight cast iron stoves with its gently curved front and rounded glass pane. The fire can be seen from multiple angles in the room, and its sculptural shape gives the stove a distinct character without being particularly wide.
The cast iron body features a firebox lined with vermiculite and the option of external combustion air. Air control is integrated into a single control, complemented by secondary combustion and glass flushing. This makes the Tarbes an attractive option even for more airtight homes that require planned ventilation.
Choose the Tarbes if a curved view of the fire is important to the room, but keep in mind that the stove's rounded shape still requires clear safety distances. Also check the placement of the flue and floor protection according to the installation instructions.
Installation
Install Tarbes according to the current Lacunza manual and applicable regulations. Plan for external combustion air, smoke ducting, floor protection, and safety clearances before the stove is positioned.
Burning
Use dry wood and follow the manual's recommendations for fuel quantity and air control. Be careful when adding wood so that the vermiculite lining is not struck.
Maintenance
Clean the glass, ash compartment, and firebox only when the stove is cold. Clean cast iron surfaces gently without abrasive agents. Regularly inspect smoke paths, seals, and the chimney, and soot according to the recommended intervals.
First Burn
Start with smaller amounts of wood and gradually increase the temperature so that the firebox, 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 the Lacunza manual for fuel quantity and air control. Double combustion and glass air wash work best when the air passages are kept clear and the firebox is not overloaded. Open the door gently when adding wood and avoid overfiring.
