Description
The LaBraise Breno is a freestanding cast iron stove made for people who light the fire every winter evening and want it to be simple. Its standout feature is a sturdy side door that makes it a true side loading fireplace, so you can feed in bigger logs from the side while the front glass stays closed. Less smoke escapes, the glass stays cleaner and the room stays warm.
LaBraise Breno Cast Iron Stove Features
Side loading door
Opening the front of a hot stove often lets a puff of smoke into the room. On the Breno you reload through the side, which is quicker and tidier. It also makes it easier to place long logs neatly on the fire bed.
Cast iron that keeps warming
Cast iron heats up evenly and keeps giving off warmth after the flames die down. That gives a more comfortable room temperature over a long evening and means you are not topping up the fire every half hour.
A longer path for the smoke
Inside, a cast iron deflector lengthens the route the hot gases take before they leave the stove. More heat is captured in the body and passed into the room rather than lost up the flue.

Is the Breno right for your home?
The Breno suits a medium to large lounge. As a rough guide, a stove in this class covers about 70 to 120 m2 at a normal ceiling height, but we confirm the exact figure for your room before you commit. Compare it with our other freestanding fireplaces if you are still choosing.

Breno FAQs
What is the benefit of a side door on the Breno fire?
You can add wood without opening the front, so less smoke enters the room and the glass stays cleaner. It is also easier to place large logs where you want them on the fire bed.
Is the LaBraise Breno a wood only stove?
It is built for burning dry, seasoned wood. Using properly dried hardwood gives the most heat, the cleanest glass and the least soot in your flue.
