The new Bakeheart is an elegantly proportioned wood-fired cooking stove that provides room-filling radiant heat, a four-zone cooking hob and a generous baking oven. While its rugged cast-iron design and simple styling may give the impression that the Bakeheart has been around for decades, this state-of-the-art piece of quality British engineering encapsulates everything we’ve learned in more than 160 years of manufacturing stoves and range cookers. While the standard range cookers are designed to contain heat, the Bakeheart also incorporates convection panels that radiate warmth out into the room – just like a wood-burning stove. ESSE’s unique heat transfer stove technology efficiently channels heat from the firebox into the 32-litre oven and four-zone hob, bringing them up to cooking temperature within just a few minutes of lighting. The graduated temperature hob offers additional heat control, with the heat reducing from 300˚C in the centre zone down to 190˚C at the outer ring. Combine with a domestic boiler and the 5kW Bakeheart is a wellspring of hot water while the hob and oven will cook a limitless range of wholesome and hearty dishes from warming casseroles to heavenly home-baked bread. Designed to accommodate dry, seasoned logs of up to 360mm (14in) length the Warmheart can be installed pretty much anywhere to provide a reliable, ‘off-grid’ source of heat for extended periods. Whether it’s providing heat and hot water in a bothy up in the mountains or wood-fired pizzas on the verandah at the beach house, the Bakeheart can be counted on to deliver heat and sustenance, day in, day out. •Cast iron hotplate temperature ranging from 190°C – 300°C •Off-grid heating and cooking – no mains services required •Compatible with domestic boiler •Generous 32-litre oven capacity •Simple air control •Powerful 5kW heat output •Suitable for use in smoke control areas •Efficiency rating of 82.3% •Energy Rated ‘A+’
