The modular stainless-steel firewood stove by Chen Jun reinvents wood-burning with modern materials and adaptable design. The appliance can be fully disassembled and reassembled without specialised tools, enabling portability and flexible deployment across environments. It features an optimized internal structure for cleaner combustion, meeting and exceeding emission standards while handling multiple fuel types such as hardwood or softwood.
The design comes in two versions: one tailored for rural use with a waste-heat recovery system to capture otherwise lost energy, and another designed for outdoor portability with a foldable form factor. Construction from stainless steel offers durability, recyclability and minimal off-gassing during use. Beyond aesthetics the piece addresses sustainability, usability and longevity, merging fundamental fire-wood cooking methods with 21st-century engineering and design.d
