The Yunca Monte Base Woodburner is a modern wood fire designed to combine strong home heating with everyday practicality. Yunca describes it as a stylish modern fire that incorporates a cooktop, adding extra function to the home while still keeping a sleek, design-led look.

With an estimated 20kW heat output, the Monte Base is built for New Zealand homes that need serious warmth through the colder months. Yunca notes that it can be used as either a primary or secondary heat source, depending on the climate, room size and insulation level of the home. It is also described as being great for keeping dinner warm on cold winter nights, which adds to its practical appeal.

A standout feature of the Monte Base is its styling. Yunca highlights the large glass area, designed to maximise the ambience that only a solid-fuel fire can offer, while the large door makes refuelling easier. That makes it a strong fit for homeowners wanting both heating performance and visual presence in their living space.

This model is available in Clean Air, Rural, and Wetback versions. The standard Monte Base is rated for both urban and rural properties, and Yunca notes that wetback can be added for an extra charge, including fitting. That gives customers more flexibility depending on where the fire will be installed and whether they want hot water support built into the setup. 

In terms of finish, the Monte Base is available in HTP Black, Gunmetal Black, and a Special Colour range. The listed special colours are Artic White, Blue Grey, Chocolate, Gunmetal Black, Saffron Red, Sage, and Silver Grey. That gives plenty of choice for homes wanting something classic, modern, or a little more individual.

The Monte Base is backed by a 10 year firebox warranty and comes from a brand that is 100% New Zealand owned and established in 1977.
