The Esse Ironheart is a wood-fired cook stove with a cast-iron cooktop and oven. The oven gives gentle, indirect heat that won't dry out food. The stove reaches cooking temperature in about 60 minutes from a cold start.
The firebox is lined with fire brick and takes 18" wood lengthwise. A ceramic glass flame view door lets you see the fire. An air-wash control lever regulates the fire and keeps the glass clean.
The cooktop has designated heat zones, so a pan can slide from simmer to slow boil to boil. The firebox grate and ash pan make ash removal easy.
