Who It’s For

Small rooms still need real heat, and in a small room the stove is right in front of you, so how it looks matters too. You need a compact stove that heats well and fits your style. The Forge & Flame Discovery I is for the smaller space, featuring Quadra-Fire burn technology, where the owner wants to change the look as easily as changing a rug. A plain box heats the room; this one becomes part of it.

What Makes It Special

The sides take any 12 by 12 inch ceramic tile, so you can match your floor, your hearth, or your mood. A solid side panel is included too if you prefer plain black.

Automatic Combustion Control gives the fire a boost of air when you light it, then closes on its own after about 20 minutes. Load it, light it, and walk away.

A wood bin is built into the pedestal, so the next few logs are right there. The door is cast iron with satin nickel hinge pins.

Possible Downsides

• The fan is a separate kit.
• It is the smallest Discovery; the Discovery II and III heat more space and burn longer.

If you want a small wood stove you can make your own, the Forge & Flame Discovery I is the right decision. The tiles match the kitchen backsplash, and the reading nook is the warmest spot in the house.

Add the 160 cfm fan kit or an outside air kit.
