Why use a wood stove in summer?

Using a wood stove in the summer may seem a little strange, as most people associate stoves with winter heating. However, there are several reasons why using a wood stove in the summer can be beneficial:

Aesthetics and design. Stoves are not only a source of heat, but they can also be very attractive decorative elements. In summer, when heating is not needed, the stove can become a decorative element on its own, or be combined with other elements to create a cozy atmosphere.
Functionality and versatility. In addition to its decorative aspect, a wood stove can be very useful during the summer. For example, it can be used for cooking, saving energy in the kitchen and creating a unique and authentic experience in the preparation of meals. It can also be used to dry clothes or beach towels, and in general, to maintain a comfortable temperature indoors without the need to turn on an air conditioner.
