The Magnum Wood Cookstove specializes in wood or coal fired cooking. The stove's cooktop consists of a cast frame and a cast hotplate. The firebox is made entirely of cast parts. All cast parts are made of grey cast iron which provides a long lifespan of the product. The stove's oven is enameled and protected by insulating material. The firebox door, oven door, ash door, and warming drawer door are cast. The oven and firebox doors also have a glass. There is a thermometer located on the oven's door with a range of 0°-500°C. Inlet air regulators are located on the ash door and warming drawer doors, and above the firebox door exists a secondary air inlet regulator through which air goes to the inside of the firebox glass door and prevents soot buildup on the glass surface. The exterior lateral sides, drawer cover and the cooking pan are made of steel sheets and protected with enamel.

Due to EPA regulations, this stove is not a certified residential wood heater and is designed specifically for cooking or baking. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regulates the emissions or smoke on wood burning stoves. In order for cookstoves to be EPA exempt, they cannot be rated as a heater, although they do generate heat.

Wood Burning- Use only dry, seasoned, natural untreated wood.

Coal Burning - For best results use solid, bituminous, anthracite and lignite coal. Never use manufactured coal "bricks" made of coal dust. Egg or larger size of coal can be used. Store coal in a dry, well-ventilated area.

The cooktop will heat in 15 - 30 minutes. The oven can reach 350 degrees in 30 minutes.
