I do love the Esse Ironheart, but my wife and I were looking on the interweb and stumbled across this one, I believe they are made in Italy......

La Nordica Suprema Grande.......

[Hearth.com] Found a cookstove we love.....any dealers in America?

I've measured our hearth, and it will fit perfectly. It has a very nice sized firebox, large oven, three burners on top, and looks to be of very good quality. Plus it isn't as expensive as the Esse Ironheart. Also comes in a iron color, we like the crème color because all our appliances in the kitchen are the same color.....

Anyone out there know if we have any American dealers for this stove? Would I have a hard time installing it in our house (UL or Warnock Kersey certified)? I didn't do too much research on it yet, still kicking around the idea. Figured I'd check here before I started digging around.

You're just attracted to it because it's got both "Suprema" and "Grande" in its name. ;lol

lol.....Actually, Rick, you gotta admit it's a beautiful stove.....They sell a smaller version, it's called just Suprema....
But you do see every word in it's name ends in a vowel.....so it must be Italian....

What I really like about it is it is a secondary burn stove, and a large firebox. I gotta do more research before I pull the trigger, main thing is I would hate to see the shipping from Italy or the UK (I'm hoping maybe Woody will chime in) and maybe Obadiah's has one in stock, if I'm lucky!!==c
 
And like all stove maker's ads, requires absolutely no clearance to combustible walls. ;lol

yeah, I saw that! My wife says "wow, look honey....you can sit it right against the wall, look at the picture of it...."
Had to explain to her that definitely will NOT be the case!!

I'd consider some kind of Kaowool/stainless shield behind it to reduce clearances, but i'd NEVER put it right against the wall like they have it in that picture!!
 
Yeah, I think some evening hours spent on research/reading mfr's info are pretty much mandatory here. But yeah, it's gorgeous on first blush. Rick

The fire shown burning in it in that pic wasn't really burning in it in that pic. :rolleyes:
 
Some of the LaNordicas appear to be made in Serbia. I would look at the Sopka Magnum as another option. It's EPA phase II listed and available in multiple colors or soapstone clad. The soapstone model is quite chic. And note that it's called the MAGNUM.

That's not a bad looking stove, BG, but it's got a smaller firebox. And I don't like how the flue exits out of the corner......my hearth is set up perfectly for a stove like that LaNordica (with the center flue). I definitely want as big of a firebox as I can get with a cookstove for this setup....it's going to be responsible for keeping the back half of the house warm....
 
Might get a little warm in the house tryin to cook in the summer, not?
 
Have you thought about writing them an email? http://www.lanordica-extraflame.com/en/contacts

They really have some nice looking (cook)stoves; great find! (I looked at some reviews about their other stoves; seems to be ok, no major complaints.)

Oh trust me, this isn't for summer use. We've got a gas range. This will be nice to cook on in the fall, winter, and spring, though.

I don't have room nor really any plans to add a cookstove but have thought about that problem with hot summer temps. Even a standard range is usually not much fun to use then. Was thinking about building a solar stove: http://solarcooking.org/plans/ I am curious how well they work and do we not all like free heat? ;)

Wow, I just looked at the lanordica site - the Rosa Maolica is nice!!! I wish they'd post specs in British units though.

http://www.rapidtables.com/convert/power/kW_to_BTU.htm But they seem to use other testing procedures. E. g. the Jotul F600 is listed with 12 kW max that would be ~42,000 BTU but here it is sold as putting out 81,000 BTU. Maybe doubling whatever BTU you get after the conversion would put you in the right ballpark?

Lot's of interesting stoves. How about that one?

Would love to see them here. Here is a good overview of their stove lineup: (broken link removed to http://www.schornsteinwelt.de/kaminofen/la-nordica-kaminofen)
