Enjoy watching the flames leap and flicker through the large clear glass window while it heats and cooks.

Unlike ESSE's enameled cookers, which are designed to contain heat within the body of the cooker, the Ironheart has convection panels in the side to radiate warmth like a wood-burning stove. The large firebox can burn wood or smokeless solid fuel and heats the room as well as the oven and hotplate. The Ironhearts hypnotising flame pattern can be appreciated through the large, clear glass door. Primary and secondary air controls allow a high level of control.

The Ironheart combines understated style with plenty of cooking potential. The large oven has a 47.8ltr capacity and trays can be placed directly on the oven floor as well as on the shelves, while its dogbone hotplate can accommodate six pans at once.

And once you've finished your meal? Sit back, relax, watch the flames and pop the kettle on to boil. You could even use the warm space around the edge of the hotplate to prove bread before baking.

The Ironheart gives out up to 9.7kW to the room depending on fuel type and settings; this heat output is comparable to two medium-sized woodburning stoves. However, it is supplied with a heat screen which can be hung in front of the firebox for your comfort while cooking.

A clean-burning design and minimal emissions make for an efficiency level of up to 81.8%. The Ironheart is also available with a domestic hot water boiler. Supplied ready to burn solid fuel or wood, the Ironheart can also be ordered with a specially designed log grate. If you are likely to be solely burning wood, this log grate gives significantly extended burn times.
