A wood cooker is a multifunctional appliance that allows cooking and baking in addition to heating. Wood stoves can also be used to heat other rooms and sanitary water. Modern wood stoves are made from the latest materials and incorporate state-of-the-art technologies.
There is also a lot of emphasis on the external appearance, with many colour options and several materials to choose from, including caramel and sheet metal.
Before buying a cooker, it is important to understand what you want to heat with it. If you only want to heat the room in which the stove will be installed, you will choose a hot-air stove, but if you also want to heat other rooms and the domestic water, a wood-burning stove will be the best choice.
Appearance and ambience are important, as the wood-burning stove will have an impact on the appearance of the room. If you want an antique look, it is possible to choose between rustic models, which are usually ceramic coated or all cast iron. Modern lines are usually straight and the coating is usually steel or stainless steel.
Wood-burning stoves may be freestanding or built-in. Freestanding wood stoves require space all around, while built-in wood stoves have sides designed in such a way that kitchen furniture can rest on them.
