The well-designed solution in attractive heat-storing concrete with a modular system design
BRUNNER system stoves BSO are offered as kits to keep installation time short and costs low. Nevertheless, various cladding options are available – from simple exposed concrete to distinctive plaster textures or elegant ceramic finishes. The BSO is also available as a water-bearing model.
The features
- 1. Slow-response stove
The wood stove delivers powerful heating performance through its cast-iron combustion insert and ceramic heat-retaining area. The radiant heat remains noticeable for a long time even after the fire has gone out.
- 2. Casing
The wood stove features a modern cladding made of heat-storing concrete, offering a sleek, contemporary look with the raw appeal of concrete. However, the surface design remains flexible – whether you choose to leave the concrete as is, extend it, paint it, or plaster it is entirely up to your creativity.
- 3. Storage mass
The cast-iron tiled stove insert of the BRUNNER system stove features a flue gas-heated storage mass, allowing it to retain and release heat over time (tiled stove effect). This storage unit can be either mounted on top or positioned beside the stove.
- 4. Combustion air
Air wash system
- 5. Combustion air
Primary air
- 6. Easy operation
The combustion air can be regulated either manually with a lever or automatically via the electronic combustion control system (EAS). With the EAS, all you need to do is light the fire and add wood – the intelligent control system takes care of everything else.
The three
glass pane options
System stove with flat glass panel
The storage stove with a flat ceramic glass panel is designed as a square column. A stove can hardly be built more minimalistically. With an adjacent storage and heating wall, the system can be extended as desired. This allows for a variety of stove configurations – the heating wall can be positioned flush, centered, or recessed relative to the column.
System stove with curved glass panel
Our storage stove with curved ceramic glass is designed as a round column. With a diameter of just 65 cm, it appears calm yet powerful.
System stove in tunnel version
The tunnel version of the system stove can also be used as a room divider. It is ideal wherever the fire should be visible from two opposite sides of the room. To ensure easy cleaning of both ceramic glass panels, the second door is designed to open.
Primarly for heat
Functional principle of the system stove – “slow-response stove”
A system stove is installed when the main goal is to generate long-lasting warmth that remains available for hours after the fire has burned down. For this reason, system stoves are often referred to as “slow-response stoves.”
Tiled stove insert with mounted storage mass
Just like a traditional storage stove, the energy from the flue gases is absorbed by the storage mass as it flows through and then gradually released through the stove’s surface over time. During the burn phase, the room receives quick warmth through the radiant heat of the fire visible behind the large glass panel. This type of heating effect is well known from classic tiled stoves.
Tiled stove insert with adjacent storage mass
Ganz genauso funktioniert der Systemofen mit nebenstehender Speichermasse. Auch er hat den bekannten Kachelofeneffekt und speichert die Wärme langanhaltend mit deutlich mehr Speichermasse. Diese Art der Anordnung bietet sich vor allem für Sitzbänke an, auf denen man sich an kalten Tagen besonders fein aufwärmen kann.
Tiled stove insert with boiler technology
System stoves can also be built in a water-bearing version. In this design, the hot flue gases from the combustion chamber flow through a boiler body positioned above the firebox. This allows you to enjoy the cozy tiled stove effect while also supporting the home’s central heating system.
Heat-storing concrete look
Modern stove casing
Pure, elegant, and timeless – the stove body in its clearest form and expression. Made from precisely cast heat-storing concrete elements, assembled with fine shadow joints, it creates a simple yet striking appearance. The surface of the concrete is intentionally imperfect: edges, pores, and slight irregularities give it character and contribute to the calm, understated charm of the material. However, those who prefer a different surface design can easily customize it through sealing, painting, or plastering. More information here.

FAQ System stoves
- Can the system stove be customized?
While the BSO’s heat-storing concrete components cannot be customized in shape, the stove can still be adapted to the design and color scheme of your living space. With special plasters and paints, you can give your BRUNNER storage stove that extra touch. This turns a practical, quickly assembled heating appliance into a true design feature for any living room. The BSO is also available in four different versions, including an option for a water-bearing model.
- Is the quality the same as the original?
Zwar ist der BSO ein klassischer Systemofen, doch muss man bei diesem nicht auf die gewohnte BRUNNER-Qualität verzichten. Denn im Inneren steckt ein waschechter Kachelofen-Einsatz, mitsamt aller Vorteile. Trotz niedrigeren Kosten gibt es somit keine Abstriche bei der Verarbeitung und den Materialien und das Heizen macht einfach nur Spaß.
- Quick, clean, uncomplicated?
A system stove may not offer the same level of customization as a handcrafted installation, but thanks to its industrially pre-fabricated components, it is significantly faster and more affordable to install. The complete kit is delivered ready for assembly and only needs to be put together by the installer. In addition, the concrete casing elements can be extended in height if desired.
- What is a system stove?
A genuine storage stove in a practical system format. As a cost-effective alternative to the traditional tiled stove, the BSO features an industrially pre-fabricated casing made of heat-storing concrete. The effect remains the same: long-lasting warmth that fills the living space with pleasant radiant heat for hours. Simple and practical.
