my esse January 10, 2015 Reviewer: mac mcgreal from Darlington pa   I installed my stove in November of 2013. We experimented with it last winter using bought cord wood to heat and cook a little. In the spring of 2014 I cut and split 6 cords of ash and we got ready for winter. Our house is about 1600 sq ft.We built it new in 2005 its all electric with an average bill of 185.00 per month. My lowest bill this winter was 31.07 and my highest has been 86.78. The only time we've run the furnace was when we went out of town or shut the esse down to do a clean out. We haven't used the electric stove top or oven since probably October. My wife cooks everything on the esse. She's amazing pays no attention to the thermometer at all. I watch her go from top rack to bottom rack turning the pan or roaster every time. We've cooked everything from bread to lasagna.The money we spent for the Esse is best money we've ever spent.Its come back to us ten times its value just in enjoyment. Its by far the best stove and you can't go wrong dealing with Woody F Was this review helpful to you?

Heartily Recommended! February 5, 2014 Reviewer: Barry Fink from Eureka Springs, AR   We finally finished with the permanent destination for our Esse Ironheart just in time for Christmas, so I am sending these photos. We are very happy with the Esse and would heartily recommend it to any one. My wife cooks on it frequently and has baked pies, bread, cakes and other foods in the oven, as well as using it to warm up leftovers. It keeps the house nice and warm and is easy to start a fire in. The baffle has been staying in place and the fire brick you sent fits perfectly now. I can't say thank you enough for your help with the stove and your guidance in constructing the alcove for it, Woody. I will be recommending Obadiah's Woodstoves to others.

Excellent Help for Non-customer!!! December 5, 2013 Reviewer: Catriona & Nick Martyn from Ontario, Canada   Hi Woody I'm the lady who just phoned you from Ontario, Canada, in the middle of having our Esse Ironheart installed, and you spoke to one of the installers, Dylan, as well. We bought the Ironheart from a very good local fireplace shop, Embers in Perth, couple of years ago, and have been waiting for our kitchen renovations to be ready for its installation. Although the North American dealer is in British Columbia, he's a bit hard to get a hold of, and doesn't often return calls too promptly, unfortunately. We had read a lot online about the Esse, and everything I read leads back to you as the acknowledged North American expert on all things Esse Ironheart! I just wanted to say how much we really appreciate your generosity in supporting Esse would-be owners, with your excellent videos on Youtube, and your helpful advice I'm reading online at Hearth.com and so on, and Dylan wanted to say thanks, too, for your guidance. Many, many thanks, from a snowy corner of Ontario, Catriona & Nick Martyn Was this review helpful to you?

3 Year's with the Ironheart November 30, 2013 Reviewer: Glenn Keto from Laurier,WA, ketoriverfarm.com   We installed an Ironheart in 2010.  We love it. It heats 1700 square feet.  The look is beautiful ... everyone agrees.  We do much of our cooking on it. In the beginning I made some mistakes. Had it come with decent instructions it would have been much easier.  My biggest mistake was in not using the woodbox the first year.  Without the woodbox, the fire was difficult to damp down and as a result I had a warped and flaking ceiling after the first year.  The manufacturer was not sympathetic even when I pointed out that their manual completely skipped over using the woodbox. Obadiah's was! With the woodbox I find I can easily control the size of fire.  However, I find the edges of the woodbox have flared out to the extent that it is damaging the fire brick.  I will have to replace it later this winter.  I highly recommend this as a high-end stove and also recommend that you skip the purchase of the OEM woodbox and purchase Obadiah's stronger one instead.

Esse Iron Heart December 29, 2011 Reviewer: Charlie Wolz from Schoharie, NY   The perfect stove. The heat output is beautiful and a great stove to cook with. I love having the big fire box, as there are always coals left over even after an overnight burn. Obadiah's service has been above and beyond. You won't find more honest and caring people. They are there for you after the sale. A great investment! The nice thing , besides giving you nice radiant heat, the stove is always in a ready mode to just warm something up or cook a meal on, something you find very convenient once you own an Esse.

A Cadillac stove for sure! April 27, 2011 Reviewer: Douglas Schlotterback from Rochester Hills, MI United States   Nothing but positive comments, not only on the Esse, but also the personalized service from Obadiah's owners. I was awed by the quality of the stove from the time I received it. The quality of every part is obvious in just examining how it was cast. If you can afford it, you won't be disappointed! No regrets here! God bless..... Was this review helpful to you?

Just what I hoped for March 16, 2011 Reviewer: Nerita Flake from Snowflake, AZ United States   Our Esse arrive a few days ago. I was looking for a hybrid that would provide cozy heat for a kitchen and family room and the capability to cook on it.  The heat is wonderful and efficient with the added ambiance of a visable fire.  My first cooking try was a pan of biscuits.  The oven quickly heated up and the biscuits were evenly browned and perfect!  Lots more fun ahead!
