Are BBQs a thing of the past?

There's been a bit of an unusual theme in the showroom lately...

More and more people are asking about cookers for their second kitchens.

Not because they’ve got a basement flat to rent out or a summer cottage somewhere…

It’s because they’re building something in the garden.

A proper outdoor kitchen.

And I don’t mean a BBQ and a fridge. They’re often serious set-ups. Think canopies, counters, sinks, the lot.

If you haven’t come across them before, Google garden kitchen and you’ll see what I mean.

And so, I thought it was a topic worth bringing up to you.

If you’ve been thinking something along those lines – whether it’s a garden kitchen or perhaps a quiet off-grid homestead somewhere – there are two cookers perfect for the job.

The ESSE Lightheart

Simple, compact, and designed for off-grid living.

While it’s the smallest in the ESSE range, it still has a wide hotplate and a generously sized oven that’s completely wood-fired.

There’s even a glass door, so you can watch the flames while the kettle bubbles away.

Great for shepherd’s huts, garden rooms, or remote cabins.

The ESSE Bakeheart

A step up in size.

You get a 32-litre oven, a hotplate with the heat reducing from 300°C in the centre down to 190°C at the outside and it also takes logs of up to 400mm (15in) in length.

It’s perfect for warming a space while cooking dinner, especially in holiday cottages or garden rooms that need to work all year round.

Both of these cookers are 100% off-grid…

No electricity needed. Just wood, fire, and a bit of patience.

So, if you’ve thought about taking your own kitchen outdoors, let me know if you need any advice on picking a cooker that’s suited to it.

Warm regards,

P.S. Do you have a garden kitchen already?
