Bakes as well as it heats

Before you buy
The questions people actually ask
Will it really heat 2,300 sq ft?
That is the maximum, in a well insulated open layout. A closed floor plan or a drafty old house heats less. If your space is chopped into rooms, size up or plan for a blower.
Can I really bake in it?
Yes. It has a real wood-fired oven and a cast-iron cooktop, so you can bake and cook on wood heat, not just warm the room. The oven volume is listed in the specifications above.
What happens if the power goes out?
Nothing changes. It has no electronics and no fans, so the cooktop and the oven keep working through any outage. That off-grid cooking and heat is a large part of why people choose a cookstove.
What does the warranty cover?
Drolet backs this appliance with its manufacturer warranty. We are an authorized dealer, so your warranty is honored directly by the manufacturer.
How fast does it ship?
It is in stock now and dispatched within 2 business days, to Canada and the USA. Shipping is calculated at checkout.
