Why Choose a Stûv Wood Stove?
A Stûv wood stove is designed to be both a heating appliance and a design feature. Instead of hiding the fire behind heavy styling, Stûv uses minimalist shapes, generous glass, and clean architectural lines to make the flame the center of attention.
Stûv America describes its products as designed in Belgium and adapted for North America, with a focus on contemporary auxiliary heating, streamlined design, quality, and efficiency. The current Stûv America product line includes wood stoves, wood inserts, and wood fireplaces, giving homeowners several ways to bring a modern wood fire into the home.
For many Custom Hearth customers, Stûv is a good fit when the goal is a cleaner, more modern look than a traditional cast-iron stove. Stûv models work especially well in homes where the fireplace or stove will be part of the room’s visual design, not just a background heating source.
Stûv Wood Stove Models to Consider
Stûv offers several wood stove families, each with a different look and purpose.
The Stûv 16 family is known for straight lines, a wide view of the flames, and flexible installation options. Stûv describes the 16 series as available as a freestanding wood stove, on a podium, or with an H-base that includes integrated log storage.
The Stûv 30 family is a distinctive round wood stove line designed for versatility. Stûv describes the 30 series as offering three modes of operation, including open fire, closed fire with a glass door, and closed fire with a solid door. The Stûv 30 can also rotate 360 degrees, making it useful in open living areas where the fire may be viewed from more than one direction.
The Stûv 6-H and newer compact models may be worth exploring when the project calls for a smaller footprint, controlled performance, and a strong view of the fire. Custom Hearth can help you compare model families based on room size, layout, venting, hearth requirements, and the look you want.
Stûv Fireplace Inserts for Existing Masonry Fireplaces
A Stûv fireplace insert can be a strong option when you want to upgrade an existing masonry fireplace. Instead of relying on an open fireplace, a wood-burning insert can improve the function, appearance, and heating performance of the hearth area.
The Stûv 6-in is designed for masonry hearths and smaller spaces while still offering a broad view of the fire. Stûv highlights its compact insert design, cast iron combustion chamber, automatic control mode, and simplified installation details.
The Stûv 16-in family is another insert option for masonry hearths. Stûv describes these inserts as having a minimalist design, large glass, controlled heat, EPA certification, and multiple sizes.
If you are replacing an older fireplace insert or upgrading a masonry fireplace, bring photos, measurements, and any existing appliance information to Custom Hearth. Our team can help determine which Stûv insert options are worth considering.
Built-In Stûv Wood Fireplaces for New Construction and Remodels
For new construction, major remodels, and architectural fireplace projects, Stûv wood fireplaces offer a built-in look with a strong emphasis on the view of the fire.
The Stûv 21 wood fireplace is available in single-sided and double-sided formats and includes a retractable guillotine glass window that can be raised or lowered for an open or closed fire experience. This makes it a strong option for homes where the fireplace is part of the room architecture, such as a great room, lodge-style living area, or see-through fireplace wall.
Stûv also offers zero-clearance fireplace options and clad fireplace configurations, depending on the design goal and installation conditions. Custom Hearth can help review the practical details, including clearances, framing, venting, finish materials, and the right model family for your space.
EPA-Certified Wood Heat and Washington Considerations
Wood-burning appliances in Washington need to be chosen carefully. Washington regulates which wood stoves and other wood-burning devices can be sold, resold, exchanged, or given away, and the devices must meet both Washington and EPA certification and labeling standards. Stûv America notes that models marked with its EPA symbol are EPA 2020 certified.
Local burn bans may also affect when a wood-burning appliance can be used. The Puget Sound Clean Air Agency issues air quality burn bans for King, Kitsap, Pierce, and Snohomish counties, with restrictions that vary by burn ban stage.
Custom Hearth can help you review Stûv model options, installation requirements, and local considerations before you buy.
Plan Your Stûv Project With Custom Hearth

- Chimney or venting information
- Whether the project is new construction, a remodel, or a replacement

STUV Inquiry
Stûv Wood Stove, Fireplace & Insert FAQs
What is Stûv?
Stûv is a hearth brand known for modern wood stoves, fireplace inserts, and built-in wood fireplaces. Stûv products are designed with clean architectural lines, large fire views, and efficient wood-burning performance.
Is it spelled Stûv or Stuv?
The brand is officially spelled Stûv with an accent, but many people search for it as Stuv without the accent. Custom Hearth uses both spellings on this page to help customers find the right wood stove, fireplace, or insert information.
Does Custom Hearth carry Stûv wood stoves?
Yes. Custom Hearth is listed by Stûv America as a Port Orchard Stûv dealer, and Stûv America lists s[16] and s[30C] models displayed in the Custom Hearth showroom.
What Stûv models should I compare?
Common Stûv options include the Stûv 16 wood stove, Stûv 30 wood stove, Stûv 6-in fireplace insert, Stûv 16-in insert, Stûv 16-Z fireplace, and Stûv 21 wood fireplace. The right model depends on your space, installation type, venting, and design goals.
What is the difference between a Stûv wood stove and a Stûv fireplace insert?
A Stûv wood stove is a freestanding heating appliance that can often be installed directly in a room with the right venting and hearth protection. A Stûv fireplace insert is designed to fit into an existing masonry fireplace opening. Stûv America explains that inserts upgrade masonry hearths, while wood-burning stoves are independent heating units.
Are Stûv wood stoves EPA certified?
Many Stûv wood stove, insert, and fireplace models are listed by Stûv America as EPA certified. Because certification and model availability can change, Custom Hearth can help confirm current Stûv options for your project.
Can I install a Stûv insert in my existing fireplace?
Possibly. A Stûv insert may be a good option if you have a suitable masonry fireplace, but the opening size, chimney condition, liner requirements, clearances, and local code requirements all need to be reviewed before installation.
Is the Stûv 30 a rotating wood stove?
Yes. Stûv describes the Stûv 30 as a wood stove with 360-degree rotation, depending on the selected model and installation. This can make it appealing for open-concept rooms where the fire may be enjoyed from multiple directions.
Do burn bans affect Stûv wood stoves in Kitsap County?
They can. The Puget Sound Clean Air Agency issues air quality burn bans for Kitsap County and other Puget Sound counties. Restrictions depend on the burn ban stage and whether the appliance is certified or the only adequate source of heat.
What should I bring to Custom Hearth when asking about Stûv?
Bring photos of your room or existing fireplace, fireplace opening measurements, chimney information if available, your preferred Stûv model, and your project location. This helps the Custom Hearth team narrow down the best stove, insert, or fireplace options.
