Description
The RB73 Fennek 80 Outdoor Stove
The Fennek 80 was designed by well-known Dutch designer Roderick Vos. Vos means Fox in Dutch and Fennek is a type of fox. RB73 CorTen steel wood burning stoves are handmade in Holland by professionals with a passion for fire. CorTen relates to this type of steel’s two main properties, corrosion resistance and tensile strength. The rust-like, weathered look of the RB73 Fennek 80 outdoor stove matches perfectly with a wide range of outdoor settings, offering warmth and atmosphere. The strong 3mm CorTen steel is weather resistant which means you can place it outdoors and be safe in the knowledge that it can be left there.
The designer has chosen to show the plate steel as much as possible by folding the panels outwards. That gives this outdoor fireplace clear sight lines. The wider 80 model has a large firebox and wider front (and back if four-sided) ceramic glass offering amazing views of the flames. A modular design also gives the flexibility of a three or four-sided glass option. Concrete stones are added to the back in the three-sided model to help retain extra heat. The flue has been designed to be draining with a 20cm stump to allow no water to get into the firebox. The legs are fitted with robust cap nuts. Stainless steel bolts are screwed in lifting the fire off the ground to ensure no rust marks on your patio or terrace.
Efficient Closed Combustion
Unlike a fire pit or outdoor fireplace with an open fire, RB73 fires have a closed combustion system allowing for higher combustion temperatures. The ceramic glass offers a great view of the flames while also providing a cleaner burn and higher efficiency levels. So, you can gather around the RB73 Fennek 80 outdoor stove with your friends and family while keeping warm and get more for your money from the wood you are burning.
Model Options and Extras
The Fennek 80 model is available in either an unrusted black finish or a rusted finish. If you purchase an unrusted model then the weather will naturally take effect on your stove over the space of up to six months to give you the weathered finish. As the rusting process is different on every appliance, each stove has its own unique qualities. A modular design allows the Fennek 80 to be constructed with either four-sided glass, or as a three-sided model with a concrete back stone. Optional extras include additional flue pipe, a stainless steel spark catcher, CorTen heatshield and a decorative floor plate.
The Fennek is also available as a smaller Fennek 50 fireplace.
