Review of Esse Ironheart cooking range

Much better than AGA and Rayburn

Snug-heating Atkinson 9 years ago

Moving solid fuel cooking stoves on, the Ironheart is a lovely stove in the black steel/iron finish.

The glass door I think is a must for efficient fuelling of the cooker.

I think ESSE may have neglected the enamelling process a little, with some defects. But overall its my first choice for a wood burning cooker.

Did I mention, its also BRITISH.
