Review of Esse Ironheart cooking range

Ironheart Wood Fired Cook Stove bakes and takes the cake!

Garnet MacPherson 13 years ago

We live in Ontario were we see winter days at minus 40 degrees Celsius. (that's cold) I am an Eco Educator by profession and so I am always looking out for good green technology and efficient and clean burning cook stove has been high on my list. I installed an Ironheart Wood Fired Cook Stove at Earthwalk Eco Education Centre 6 years ago and it has worked exceptionally well. We have had over 50 volunteers that know nothing about cook stoves use and abuse the Ironheart and it is still as good as new. In many ways they provided a torture test that the Ironheart passed with flying colours. We have used many cook stoves over the years and the Ironheart is the best bar none.\n\n

Stove expert replied: Great review and wonderful that this is proving to be so robust with so many hands using it! Does exactly what it says it will do which is very refreshing.
