Scandia Heat and Cook

Works well in our house which is less than the 20 squares that the heater is meant to do. Looks great. Cooks toast on top. Kettle for coffee on top. Pork chops are cooking right now on top. Cooks chicken in the oven (im sure it tasted better) . A good starting smokeless procedure once you know how. Takes a while to heat up coz it is a solid nearly 1/4 ton of iron but once going keeps going for most of the night. Heat activated fan accessory on top helps to distribute the heat.

easy to light and it stays lit overnight without a problem. Im burning good red box.
The older models have some consumables inside the firebox that could warp. Easy to change.

My stone cottage is so small that everything in it has to have more than one purpose. The heat and cook wood heater suits me just fine. There is plenty of firewood on the property and the burner box large enough for the chainsawed logs. I cook all the meals on the hot plate with the added bonus of an oven. The oven does require extra heat but once you gain experience together with the inbuilt thermometer roasted meals are easy to cook.
The stone chimney also heats the upstairs bedroom and this keeps heating costs to absolute minimum. Perhaps more suited to the country than the city it is my most important winter appliance.

Look they are poorly constructed, they have a very bad quality control system and there after sales support is terrible. Basically a cheap Chinese product with no after sales support marketed as a premium Australian product! Save yourself the disappointment
