Esse Ironheart Cookstove

Esse Ironheart Wood Cookstove

The Esse Ironheart is a traditional steel and cast iron wood cook stove from England. This stove will gently warm your kitchen, as well as providing the capacity to bake and cook your family feasts! While most cookstoves hide the fire, the Esse cooker provides a glass window to view the flames and offer a cozy ambiance to your room.

This cookstove is UL 1482 and ULC S627 tested.

The Esse Ironheart wood cook stove is pricier than most cookstoves on the market but when you understand the difference in the way it's built you'll understand the reason. Europeans value quality cooking appliances and openly design them with generations of use and durability in mind. The ovens design offers gentle and indirect heat that won't dry out your food. Pizzas, for example, will be piping hot and evenly cooked from edge to center while toppings remain moist and the bottom is baked to perfection. Cooking temperature can be reached in approximately 60 minutes from cold start. The firebox is spaciously designed to accommodate 18" wood lengthwise. By using larger wood, you can avoid restoking the stove while baking and struggling to regulate the changing temperature.

Pleased with the overall performance of this stove

Quality built stove with excellent airtight burn. I am impressed with the design and solid clean fire. The controls are tricky to learn, must use only well seasoned wood as creosote can build up quickly like any stove. Tends to belch smoke when loading if not managed absolutely perfectly.
Oven temperature gauge reading is vague and seems to read higher than actual oven temp. Needs a very hot burn to get oven up to high temperature. We can get an overnight burn with coals in the morning if loaded correctly. After a long learning curve I am happy with my purchase. I regret not purchasing the water heat exchange unit.

I love this stove!
It is extremely well made. Engineered to heat a small or large home.
Cooking surface and oven space are perfect for most things.
The oven will hold two quarter sheets or two 12 cup muffin pans.
two 10 inch cast iron or other pans, baking evenly and does not dry things out. With a moderate fire the stove top stays 400 - 500 all the time. The oven is always 300-350 and with a larger log will heat higher and maintain temp.
It burns clean and efficiently. With the wood box adapter it is deep and makes no ash mess. The hob lids helps control the amount of heat into the room.
It puts out an incredible amount of heat. In a large house, positioned well, it would be an awesome heat source.
In our home we build small fires. Our house is a 1500 sq. ft. two story timber frame. The stove is in a 2x6ft. alcove ( we had to build out to meet code for the chimney, making distance from two outside dormers.) We have put registers at ceiling level to move heat passively. Heat is even throughout. Fires are easy to start with very little paper and kindling. It keeps our house warm all night with just a small fire. The volume of iron and steel continue to heat long after the fire is gone.
You would not want to load this stove up with a full box of wood without understanding how it works.
I spent a year deciding on this stove. Obadiah's helped me with many ???? and made it easy when purchasing. I am grateful for their knowledge and integrity.

We finally finished with the permanent destination for our Esse Ironheart just in time for Christmas, so I am sending these photos. We are very happy with the Esse and would heartily recommend it to any one. My wife cooks on it frequently and has baked pies, bread, cakes and other foods in the oven, as well as using it to warm up leftovers. It keeps the house nice and warm and is easy to start a fire in. The baffle has been staying in place and the fire brick you sent fits perfectly now.

I can't say thank you enough for your help with the stove and your guidance in constructing the alcove for it, Woody. I will be recommending Obadiah's Woodstoves to others.
