PROMOTION: ESSE stoves and cookers
The combination of classic design and innovative engineering make ESSE a country favourite for wood-burning stoves and range cookers


With more than 160 years of British manufacturing experience behind it, master stove and cooker manufacturer ESSE continues to lead the field through innovation and ingenuity.
Its range cookers are constantly developing to meet the changing demands of the modern kitchen.
Today they are designed for modern control and absolute energy efficiency, with a host of eco-friendly specifications.
Two recent breakthroughs highlight just how ESSE continues to push the boundaries of efficiency and design.
The Lancashire-based manufacturer has recorded an industry first – with the launch of an ingenious electronic ignition system for wood burning stoves.
AutoBlaze is simple to use – load your dry logs in front of the air jet, close the door, press the remote and the five to eight minute lighting cycle begins.
There’s no need for kindling and as well as being clean and safe it is also a great solution for ‘cold flue’ or poor draught installations.

Then there is ESSE’s latest industry-leading product – a 13 amp heat storage cooker that costs just £1 a day to run.
The ESSE EL 13AMP offers all the benefits of a traditional range cooker – you just plug it in and cook.
It has ESSE’s classic cast iron construction, heavy duty ovens, vibrant enamelling and the reassuring ‘solidity’ of its classic range cookers - plus modern, electric controllability and responsiveness.
And with no flue or external vents to consider, it can be positioned virtually anywhere, making it perfect for the modern home – and equally at home in the city as well as the country.
It has the quickest oven heating-up times in the market - from slumber to 200°C in less than 25 minutes – and independently controlled temperature settings.
The energy-efficient range cooker has two ovens, a full-width grill, cast iron hotplate, induction zone and a plate-warming cupboard.
The 13AMP joins the ESSE range of cookers and stoves that includes the iconic Ironheart, whose hand-crafted heritage style offers timeless appeal.
Available as wood, solid fuel or gas fuelled, with an optional domestic hot water model, it is a River Cottage favourite.
ESSE Sales Director Mark Blewitt says: “Innovation is at the heart of everything we do. And with the AutoBlaze system and the new 13AMP we are continuing to add to the tremendous choice that we offer our customers.”

Country Life is unlike any other magazine: the only glossy weekly on the newsstand and the only magazine that has been guest-edited by HRH The King not once, but twice. It is a celebration of modern rural life and all its diverse joys and pleasures — that was first published in Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee year. Our eclectic mixture of witty and informative content — from the most up-to-date property news and commentary and a coveted glimpse inside some of the UK's best houses and gardens, to gardening, the arts and interior design, written by experts in their field — still cannot be found in print or online, anywhere else.
