Stanford 50 & 80 Oil Stoves

Naturally Elegant

The heating oil we use is only one of thousands of diverse petroleum products essential to our lives, from paint, ointments, dyes, detergents, electrodes and chewing gum as chemists continue to refine and manipulate its complex molecular structures to our benefit. But sadly the association oil has with technology means that many people regard heating oil with suspicion and a fuel which should be burned out of sight. Since the foundry began in 1854 the philosophy at Nestor Martin has always been that designing to allow a fuel to release its heat in the most natural way possible is efficient, less damaging to the environment and visually attractive. Oil is no exception to this philosophy and within their oil stoves are oil burners which use no fans, pumps, nozzles, or even wicks. The oil is simply warmed to a vapour as it enters the burner and burns freely within the stove, where it can be observed through the glass panelled door of the stove.
