Here is the story about our Kachelofen: We lived in Germany for a year and traveled to Austria, Switzerland and Liechtenstein where Kachelofen wood burning tile stoves are prevalent. After we got home, we researched the possibility of having one built in our house. There was a craftsman in Chicago who built Sommerhuber Kachel- ofen. When we visited his workshop, we could design our own according to size of the room, style and color. Everything for ours except sand was imported from Linz, Austria. Mr. Anton Antfeltner drove a truck to our house, and lived with us for a week. He worked each morning building the tile stove, went fishing in the afternoon and visited Meisters Bar and Grill in the evenings. Once a small fire is built and burning down in the firebox, the door is locked and the tiles retain their cozy heat for twelve hours.
