Our woodburning range
This is our new cooker ... on a good day it takes the same amount of time to heat up as an electric oven. We can cook supper AND heat our large kitchen with a couple of logs. After three weeks I STILL can't get over it ...
PS If you look carefully, you can see a mouse carved into the chair leg ... the signature of the Mouseman

Oh! It's beauuuutiful! I'm green with envy and will be all winter long.
I'm in awe. Absolutely gorgous and I would love one.
Wow, your new stove is amazing! I'd love an oven like that, and a chair by the mouseman. You're a very lucky lady.

That looks beautiful, and must be great in the cold months of the year!
Awesome!
This is fantastic and I do see the lil' mouse!
I'm jealous, I would love one of those!
Hi, how do you find it for cooking? Is it an Aga or another make? Looks fabulous.
What a wonderful place spend time, you are a lucky girl.
Thanks for all your comments. Yes, I AM lucky ... it's fabulously warming, and I'm learning how to cook on it. It's an Esse Ironheart. I love it. I'll be posting about it soon, because the cooking techniques are a little different, and there's not much literature. But anyone with an ordinary woodburner can do some of the things this will do.
The mouseman chair was a present. If you're ever in Yorkshire, it's well worth visiting the works, you can see the craftsmen carving.

Oh, 'tis a beautiful thing!! As one who has had a woodstove for over thirty years, I just wonder if the basket and the chair are too close?? Do they feel hot when the stove is going?
Nan, you're quite right - they normally live a little further away, pulled in for the photograph ;)

me love it!
Hiya, I love Esse's and have been promised one for when we do the kitchen out (instead of the gas powered AGA which I hate!). How do you find the ironheart? I've been looking at the woodburning range becuase I wasn't sure teh ironheart would be enough for use as a cooker.
Sorry it's taken me so long to get round to your comment ... LOVE my Esse, summer will be hard without it, although I'm planning to build a brick oven in the garden. I've done virtually all my cooking on it this winter, and it's easily possible - but you DO need back-up for the summer, and for those moments when you're not quite concentrating. That said, I've baked Victoria sponges, loads of bread, some biscuits etc etc
I'm planning a full post about it in the next few days
