Wood-Burning Cookstoves for Illinois Homes & Businesses

The agricultural and manufacturing industries that form the underpinnings for Illinois’ economy also make for a state that’s passionate about great food, comfortable living, and tools which will stand up to the heavy use they receive every day for decades, not years – even for generations.

It’s that attitude which has made a British brand of cookstove a sleeper hit across the state, recommended to one another by word of mouth – and that word is growing.

Why You Should Have Heard About the ESSE Brand

Founded over a hundred and sixty years ago, the ESSE brand of cast-iron cookers, stoves, and cookstoves has gone from strength to strength, and while they still stay true to the traditions of long-lasting dependable construction and an aesthetic to match, these classic-looking items are right up to date inside.

The ESSE 990 Wood-Fired Cooker is one of the best examples of that. It boasts no less than three ovens, each of which can maintain different temperatures and each of which have a high capacity – and not only that, but the deep oven design means very little heat is lost when the door is opened.

Slam-shut doors and hinge stops make working the doors while your hands are full easy, and the hotplate has a six-pan capacity with a varying temperature across the hotplate.

It can be kept burning constantly, meaning it never takes long to bring up the heat when you start to cook and your room will always be warm. You can deliver professional-quality results at home or in a restaurant.

The Ironheart Multi Fuel Cook Stove boasts many of the same advantages with a slightly lower capacity – it has only one oven, though the hotplate still supports six pans, so it’s still more than enough to produce a beautiful roast dinner – but it’s suitable to be installed in the living room as well as the kitchen.

Perfect for keeping food warm ahead of second helpings and warming the room for a family dinner into the bargain – and you can boil a kettle on it afterward when it’s time for the coffee.
