ESSE Lightheart Wood Fired Cook Stove with Bolster Lids and optional Log Store

The Lightheart is ESSE’s miniature wood-fired cook stove delivering Ironheart performance now in a beautifully compact size. Complete with iconic miniature bolster lids, dog-bone hotplate, 47ltr oven, and a handy towel rail, the Lightheart is designed specifically for fireplaces and smaller spaces without compromising on versatility.

Generating 4.6kW of heat output, this wood-burning stove comfortably warms compact snugs, home offices, and cottages without overheating the room. Fully Ecodesign, Cleaner Choice Approved, and DEFRA accredited, it can be safely used in urban smoke-control zones when burning seasoned logs.

The Lightheart excels in dual-purpose utility, seamlessly pairing ambient space heating with wood-fired cooking. Boil a kettle, fry breakfast, or simmer a stew right on top of the hotplate while the oven bakes your meals using radiant warmth that locks in moisture and flavour.

Whether specified as the primary heat source for an off-grid cabin, shepherd’s hut, or yurt, or a beautiful focal point for a countryside cottage, the Lightheart offers heating and culinary independence. Experience traditional cast iron and steel craftsmanship, lower emissions, and warmth on demand all packed into a space-saving masterpiece.
