Convection

 

Rais stoves are convection stoves. This means that the stove’s back and side panels are 
not over­heated. Convection means that there is a circulation of air, which ensures that 
the heat is distributed more evenly throughout the entire room. The cold air is sucked in 
at the base of the stove and up through the convection channel, which runs along the 
stove’s combustion chamber. The heated air comes out at the top of the stove, which 
ensures a circulation of warm air throughout the room. 

The stoves are equipped with cool door handles  ­  a Rais special feature  ­ which 
means you could almost do away with gloves. Be aware, however, that all exterior 
surfaces become hot during use  ­  so take extreme care.
