Since its establishment by Friedrich Wamsler in Munich in 1875, the company has been a leading innovator in the field of kitchen and heating appliances. In the 1950s, for example, it developed the very first washing machine to incorporate an integral spin dryer and, in the 1970s, the company introduced a series of flat-packed gas fires. Today, however, the Wamsler name is primarily synonymous with the manufacture of solid fuel cookers and heating products, which are sold throughout the world.

Every appliance, including those hand-built to order, is produced under the internationally recognised ISO 9001 Quality Management System as well as being inspected to Germany's renowned DIN standards. Accordingly, your cooker, boiler or stove will enjoy not only a proven pedigree but also benefit from the latest production techniques.

Wood is better in environmental terms as the amount of carbon dioxide released into the atmosphere is approximately the same as that absorbed by the tree during growth. It is also a renewable resource, particularly when derived from plantations and cultivated woodland. For optimum results, we recommend logs should be seasoned for 2 years or more to achieve a moisture content below 20%.This will not only give twice the heat output of freshly felled timber but help avoid a build up of tar in your flue.

Furthermore, if you can obtain hardwood logs this is better still, as they will have around twice the calorific value of softwoods.
Anthracite, manufactured smokeless fuels and peat turfs/briquettes can all be burnt in Wamsler appliances as each firebox incorporates a grate with a riddling facility. Using the riddling device allows cinders and ash from such fuels to drop into the ashpan below and create the best conditions for efficient combustion.

In rural areas,Wamsler's Central Heating Cookers and Central Heating Boilers have a particular advantage as they allow homeowners to burn readily available log supplies from local sources, rather than look to increasingly expensive oil or LPG equivalents. Indeed, if you are a farmer, smallholder or country landowner your fuel could even be free!
In fact, if you live in the countryside,Wamsler makes greener cooking, central heating and domestic hot water a truly practical proposition.
