Review of Esse Ironheart cooking range

We love our Ironheart range

Ben Gardiner 10 years ago

I installed an Esse Ironheart range in our kitchen as part of an extensive renovation two years ago. It really has created a wonderful heart for our home, producing lots of solid warmth whilst burning wood very economically. My partner also enjoys cooking on it and finds it is especially good for soups and longer cooking stews. It is great to be able to see the flames and also to know that it is generating lots of hot water.

I was a little uncertain at first as my partner convinced me it was the right range after seeing one fired up in a showroom. However now I am a complete convert and bless the fact it is so easy to light, copes with rubbishy offcuts of wood and is so easy to maintain. I recommend the Esse Ironheart unreservedly.
