I would be interested to know if anyone on here is using a wood fueled cooker as their main cooker? We have an electric Aga which is getting far too expensive to run. I have looked at the Esse Ironheart, but I have heard very mixed reports, mainly about it being difficult to control. I have a friend with an older Esse and he loves it, fuels it twice a day and has had no issues and it is his only cooker.
The Wamsler cookers seem to get a very good write up but I don't know anyone with one.
The cheapest option would be a Rayburn but I understand that they are difficult to run on wood alone. I like the look of the Thronhill range cookers but I have no idea what they are actually like. Similarly, I have read a lot of bad things about the La Nordica cookers but the only person I know who has one loves it.
I am keen on wood, as we have a large kitchen with no heating and access to a lot of processed wood.
Any experience appreciated.
