How to choose a wood burning range cooker?
Here are the 5 main elements for choosing your new wood burning range cooker with full knowledge of the facts.
1. The chimney: We must first consider the chimney, it could already be present and therefore usable to install our wood-fired range cooker. Some important choices depend on the position of the flue, such as the position of the hearth, the oven or possible personalized modules, equipped with gas or electric appliances, shelves and drawers. If the chimney has not yet been built, you will have maximum freedom to choose and design your kitchen unit.
2. The space available: your wood-burning cooker starts from 40 cm wide, reaching several meters for complete tailor-made kitchens. In general, standard measurements vary from 40 to 90 cm for wood-burning cookers and from 100 to 150 for “combi” cookers, which have a wood-burning module, with or without an oven, and a module equipped with appliances, often electric, such as induction hobs and latest generation electric ovens .
3. Integration with other furniture: modern wood-fired range cookers can be perfectly integrated with other kitchen furniture, customizing the height, the removal of the base, the thickness of the cooking surface and all the elements that can determine a perfect combination of the wood stove with the adjacent furniture and their finishes. For example, the top edge can be straight or rounded, depending on the choice of the main worktop, the handles can be of different materials and shapes, from brushed and "minimal" stainless steel to brass worked according to the more traditional shapes.
4. Freestanding: to complete your tavern or living room in the country house, you can opt for a freestanding wood burning range cooker. These models often have the same construction characteristics as built-in cookers, but they require a certain safety distance from combustible materials, especially laterally. For this reason, they are not ideal to be combined with other furniture, but rather define a very characteristic and attractive cooking and heating point, slightly separated from other furnishing elements. These cookers are often equipped with handrails on three sides and other accessories that complement their functions and make them irreplaceable and aesthetically very successful pieces in your home.
5. Customizations: before choosing your ideal cooker, contact an expert or simply try with the simulator on the manufacturer's website. In fact, it is often the details that contribute to the success of your project. For example, carefully assess the height of your cooker. It is now possible to personalize it down to the millimeter, choose beautiful but also ergonomic handles, perhaps with rounded corners, if you cook a lot, so that tea towels or your clothes do not accidentally get caught on them. Choose professional levers to open the cooking compartment safely and quickly and carefully choose the type of hob, steel, cast iron or glass ceramic.
