The Lotus M series combines the best of the mass stove with the best of the wood stove. Its solid weight and its special design combine the ability of the mass stove to store and slowly emit heat with the calm and controlled combustion of the wood stove, as well as its ability to distribute the heat quickly. As a very special feature, this stove is equipped with a facility for choosing whether the heat distribution is to be run quickly (convection heat) or slowly (radiation heat). When opting for slow heat distribution, a higher temperature will also be built up in the soapstone.
