I just acquired this old Esse cooker. Wood burner on the right side that heats water, coal burner on the left for the ovens I assume...
Cant find a name of any pictures of this model online (so far...) maybe a Premier model, were from 1930 onwards possibly?
ANY information about this cooker, much appreciated!
Plus any thoughts on running this beast will help, I have only worked with a much smaller wood fired Rayburn previously.
