QUALITY CRITERIA<br />

THE ADVANTAGES OF DAN SKAN <strong>STOVE</strong>S<br />

1. SUPERIOR MATERIAL STRENGTH<br />

The service life of any stove is governed<br />

by the thickness and fire resistance of the<br />

materials used, especially within the fire<br />

chamber. The thicker the material then<br />

the more resilient to the effects of high<br />

temperature the stove will be.<br />

DAN SKAN materials are therefore<br />

chosen in accordance so that our stoves<br />

successfully pass a number of stringent<br />

stability and security tests.<br />

3. GLASS DOOR AIR WASHING<br />

A clear view of the fire and the wonderful<br />

flame patterns is one of the great pleasures<br />

of owning a stove. However, if the glass is<br />

to remain clean during operation it must<br />

have an effective air wash. Even the largest<br />

glass window on a DAN SKAN stove will<br />

remain clear because of the close proximity<br />

of the incoming fresh air to the glass – the<br />

closer it is then the more effective the air<br />

wash and cleaning process is at keeping the<br />

smoke and particulates away. In addition<br />

DAN SKAN windows benefit from being air<br />

washed at the top and bottom as well as<br />

from the sides. Stoves with air wash at the<br />

top only cannot provide the same air wash<br />

efficiency as a DAN SKAN stove.<br />

5. THE TWO LAYERED RIDDLE<br />

GRATE<br />

A two-layered riddle grate, which<br />

can be closed for wood burning to<br />

shut off combustion air from below is<br />

definitely a ‘must have’ for any multi<br />

fuel stove. An original DAN SKAN<br />

innovation! A stove which can change<br />

simply from mineral fuel burning to<br />

wood burning is hardly thinkable<br />

without this DAN SKAN invention.<br />

So much so that many leading stove<br />

manufacturers adapted the DAN<br />

SKAN double-layered riddle grate,<br />

however our clever protected design<br />

is still the original and the best.<br />

For example, the DAN SKAN baking<br />

shelves, which are subject to the greatest<br />

effects of the fire are constructed with a<br />

minimum of 5 mm thick plate steel and<br />

all DAN SKAN door handles are made<br />

of solid stainless steel so that they<br />

remain robust and durable even after<br />

many years of operation.<br />

2. STABLE DOOR CONSTRUCTION<br />

Doors made from strong materials and<br />

with a solid construction are particularly<br />

important for the efficient and safe<br />

operation as well as the lifespan of your<br />

stove. DAN SKAN doors and carrying<br />

frames remain stable even after many<br />

years of use, opening and closing the<br />

same way they did when they were first<br />

new. Once you compare the quality and<br />

construction of DAN SKAN doors and<br />

frames with any others it‘s very easy to<br />

see DAN SKAN‘s many benefits.<br />

4. FIRE CHAMBER LINING<br />

All DAN SKAN fire chamber linings are<br />

constructed out of 30 mm thick heat-reflecting<br />

Skamol plates which remain strong and,<br />

stable during the extremely high temperatures<br />

of the firing process.<br />

DAN SKAN firebricks fit snuggly together,<br />

leaving sufficient room for expansion, and<br />

do not rely on grouting to maintain their<br />

stability so that they can always be easily<br />

replaced later, even by a novice. Grouted<br />

fire chambers look good at first but almost<br />

always fail later with bigger panels cracking<br />

during the expansion process.<br />

6. THE PULL CONTROL<br />

DAN SKAN stoves do not require the<br />

typical controls that you see on other<br />

stoves for the regulation of combustion<br />

air. On a DAN SKAN this work<br />

is taken over by the intelligent automatic<br />

bimetal 'thermostat' system.<br />

The rectangular pull control, with the<br />

logo, on our Classic stoves (round on<br />

the Modern line) is the only control<br />

that you will need to use – and it's<br />

very simple. The pull control is adjusted<br />

by pulling outwards to open the<br />

supply of basic combustion air. The<br />

rest of the combustion air regulation<br />

is then taken over automatically by<br />

by the intelligent automatic bimetal<br />

system which will maintain an ideal<br />

supply of air. When burning the pull<br />

control is always open.<br />

DAN SKAN-Idea 1980!<br />

The MODERN LINE stoves all feature<br />

superior strength cast iron doors whilst<br />

the double doors used in the CLASSIC<br />

range, not only provide excellent<br />

strength and stability, but they also enable<br />

the door to carry a bigger glass area,<br />

which in turn provides a much greater<br />

view of the fire.<br />
