The Drolet Chic-Choc is a wood-burning cookstove that combines space heating with a real oven and a wide steel cooktop. It heats up to 2,300 sq ft and its 3.3 cu ft firebox with secondary combustion reaches up to 10 hours of burn time on one load. The stainless oven, multiple thermal zones on the cooktop and built-in thermometer make it a serious cooking appliance, not just a heater. It suits households that want to cook and heat with wood in one unit; it is larger and more involved to install than a plain wood stove.

The Chic-Choc is a wood-burning cookstove that heats a space and cooks on the same fire. It has a steel cooking surface with separate cooking and warming zones, set at a height of 37". Below it is a stainless steel oven with two stainless steel cooking grids that can be set in 3 positions.
The firebox holds 3.3 ft³ and takes 20" logs. A secondary combustion system improves efficiency, and one load of wood can burn up to 10 hours. The stove heats spaces up to 2,300 ft². Large door openings make it easier to load logs and dishes.
The stove is built as two separate casings that fit together, so it can be handled and moved in sections. Its size and clearances are reduced to save space. It is made in Canada.
