ESSE Lightheart
The ESSE Lightheart brings a wood fire, oven and dog-bone hotplate together in a 700mm-wide body. Small bolster lids and a towel rail give it the familiar feel of a range cooker, with the flames in view. It is a narrower alternative to the Ironheart for cooking and room warmth.

Compare with other ESSE stoves
The Lightheart S is 654mm high, 65mm lower than the standard model. Both are 700mm wide and 500mm deep, with 4.6kW output and 81.0% efficiency. The standard model weighs 143kg and the S weighs 140kg. Compare the height, fittings and look that suit your room.
Planning your installation
The same fire heats the room, oven and hotplate, so consider the 4.6kW room output alongside your cooking plans. Cooking heat depends on the fire and pan position. If you choose the log store or an installation with heat shields, your installer will use the Lightheart instructions for that setup.
