Dan Skan Stoves

DAN SKAN – Their Innovation Lives On

We're sorry to say that the legendary and highly innovative Dan Skan stove brand is no more. In 2019 the family company was sold to its Danish production partner HWAM. In 2020 HWAM decided to retire the brand - much to the disappointment of The Stove Yard's staff and customers. 

The working relationship between Dan Skan and HWAM started over four decades ago and was so close that many of Dan Skan's revolutionary ideas were eventually incorporated into HWAM's own stoves and other advanced features, such as the state-of-the-art Intelligent Heating System (IHS), were developed together. Since 1968 Dan Skan were renowned for the very highest design and production values in stove building and were the first stoves to introduce direct external air supply (DEAS) and later to pass the strict DIBt room seal accreditation developed for stoves operating in homes built to Passivhaus standards. They were also busy creating environmentally friendly ultra low-emissions stoves a decade before Ecodesign was even thought of.

The list of Dan Skan innovations in domestic wood burning technology is impressive and over the years they continuously set the benchmark for other manufacturers to aim for and is why we, for one, were always really big fans. At The Stove Yard we enjoyed our trips to their HQ in Hannover and grew very fond of the hands-on family – Gerde, Anja and Heiki. So it's good to know that their spirit of hygge and Dan Skan's exceptionally innovative and creative legacy is not going to be lost and is in fact alive and well in the modern wood burners of both the HWAM and the HWAM-made Wiking ranges.

The Stove Yard still stocks many Dan Skan spare parts and will continue to do so, such is our admiration for the brand and our commitment to customer service. Please contact us for more details.
