The best wood-burning cookers, compared.
Top pick: LNEE 14 kW cooker Best value: OtoSystem 1P34 – At £540.00 it is the lowest shelf price that still names an oven, a cast-iron plate, a single 10 kW figure and a weight, with 4.3 from six reviews. Updated October 2026.
A wood-burning cooker cooks on a hob and usually in an oven, and it also heats the room. On amazon.co.uk that search mixes heavy kitchen cookers with portable wood stoves. A chimney on a building needs the right legal status, a flue you can size, and someone at home to refuel. Ask the council whether you are in a smoke control area. Wood is allowed there only in a appliance, and an limit does not replace that exemption. Several print a 130 mm flue, the cookers weigh about 76 kg to 136 kg, and the flue pipe is often not in the box. The [wood-burning cooker buying guide](/hub/garden-furniture/wood-burning-cooker/sub/wood-burning-cooker-buying-guide) sets the decision order before you use the table. We mapped oven, hob, boiler, stated heat, flue, weight and the amazon.co.uk review line. The body is a freestanding cooker in steel or cast iron, with a hotplate, an oven and a flue, at about 76 kg to 136 kg. A back-boiler cooker sends part of the output to water. The listing prints 5 kW to the room and 15 kW to water, with a 15 litre boiler and 1 inch connections. The title prints 4 kW plus 12 kW and does not state a water volume.

Question 1 of 2
Do you need heat for radiators as well as the room?
The LNEE cooking stove lists a 14 kW output, an oven of 400 × 410 × 200 mm, a firebox of 480 × 450 × 310 mm, and a 130 mm flue, in a body of 53 × 57 × 93 cm. The shelf price is £608.63, and the heating surface is about 79 m² in both the bullets and the coverage field. The amazon.co.uk line is 5.0 from 2 reviews, and the file contains no review text, so there is nothing to check about oven heat, smoke, or delivery. Weight, model number, hotplate count, and warranty are all unstated. The brand line says LNEE and the manufacturer line says PRITY 95 LTD. Glass appears in the material list, but the listing does not describe a viewing window.
Pros
Cons
Best for: A hob-and-oven shortlist where you already have a 130 mm flue and you will confirm the weight before delivery.
Less suitable: A back boiler, or a choice you want to make from written reviews.
Specifications
Common questions
What oven size does the listing give?
Width 400 mm, depth 410 mm, and height 200 mm. The firebox is 480 × 450 × 310 mm. The stove is 53 × 57 × 93 cm. Weight is not stated.
What flue and output does it ask for?
The bullets say it should be connected with a 130 mm flue pipe. Heating output is 14 kW. The efficiency field says A. The heating surface is about 79 m².
Are there written reviews to read?
No. The listing line is 5.0 from 2 reviews. The brand line says LNEE and the manufacturer line says PRITY 95 LTD. No model number is given.
The Balkan Energy listing titles a Prity 2P41 at 15 kW and 110 kg, with an oven of 410 × 490 × 215 mm and an efficiency field of A. The two size lines cannot both be the footprint: the bullets say 910 × 560 × 800 mm, and the item line says 56 × 56 × 80 cm, so the 910 mm length does not match the 56 cm width. Coverage is about 79 m² in the bullets and up to 150 m² in the field. The amazon.co.uk line is 5.0 from 2 reviews, and the file has no review text. No flue diameter is stated, and the ventilation field says vent free, which is not a chimney you can size. The brand line says Balkan Energy, the title says Prity, and there is no manufacturer line.
Pros
Cons
Best for: A comparison row only, until the seller confirms one footprint and a flue diameter.
Less suitable: Anyone laying out a kitchen, or ordering flue liner, from this page as it stands.
Specifications
Common questions
Which size line should you use?
The bullets say 910 × 560 × 800 mm, labelled length × depth × height. The item-dimensions line says 56 × 56 × 80 cm. Height and depth agree. The 910 mm length does not match the 56 cm width.
What area does the listing claim?
The bullets say a heating surface of about 79 m². The coverage field says up to 150 square metres. Output is 15 kW. The efficiency field says A. Weight is 110 kg.
Does the listing give a flue diameter?
No. The ventilation field says vent free, and no flue diameter is stated. The brand line says Balkan Energy. The title says Prity 2P41. No manufacturer line is given.
The Prometey Practik Lux is the only listing here that names four hotplates, a baking compartment of 23 × 43 × 47 cm, and a thermometer on the oven pane. It is listed at 9.5 kW, 87.54% efficiency, class A+, 106 kg, and 94 × 52 × 90 cm, with a 130 mm flue, an 80 mm outside-air inlet, and clearances of 30 cm at the side, 95 cm at the front, and 40 cm at the back. The amazon.co.uk line is 5.0 from 1 review, a United Kingdom note that calls it a brilliant product and says nothing else. The bullets say firewood and wood briquettes, while the fuel field says electric and wood. The standards line is BImSchV Level II, which is not a UK smoke-control exemption, and the listing says type 2, so it cannot share the chimney. At £824.65 you are paying for the fullest hob-and-oven specification in this set, on a single review.
Pros
Cons
Best for: A kitchen that wants four named hotplates and a measured oven, if you treat one review as a note rather than a verdict.
Less suitable: A shared chimney, a back boiler, or anyone reading the fuel field as an electric hob.
Specifications
Common questions
How many hotplates does the listing claim?
Four, on top of the stove, plus a baking compartment. A thermometer is attached to the oven pane. There is a wood store under the stove and a fireclay-lined chamber.
What fuel does the listing name?
The bullets say firewood and wood briquettes, for continuous and time fire. The fuel-type field says electric and wood. Those lines are not the same.
Can it share a chimney?
The listing says type 2 and that multiple occupancy on the chimney is not possible. The flue is 130 mm, and the outside-air supply is 80 mm. Clearances from flammable materials are 30 cm at the side, 95 cm at the front, and 40 cm at the back.
The OtoSystem 1P34 is a freestanding wood cooker listed at 10 kW, 76 kg, and 75 × 45 × 80 cm, with an oven and a cast-iron plate. At £540.00 it is the lowest shelf price in this set, and the amazon.co.uk line is 4.3 from 6 reviews. The file holds two of those reviews, both from Germany: one calls it useful and easy to clean, and the same review says the oven is decorative if you want about 200°C, because the room then goes above 30°C. The oven size and the flue diameter are not stated, so you cannot size a tin or a liner from this page alone. The brand line says OtoSystem and the manufacturer line says Prity LTD. There is no United Kingdom review text to set against that oven complaint.
Pros
Cons
Best for: A small kitchen that wants a stated oven and hotplate at £540.00, if an installer can size the flue without a diameter on the listing.
Less suitable: Anyone who needs a measured oven, a named flue, or a back boiler, or who wants about 200°C in the oven without heating the room past 30°C.
Specifications
Common questions
Does the listing include an oven?
Yes. The title and the bullet call it a wood cooker with a cast-iron plate and an oven. The oven size is not stated.
What heat output does the listing state?
10 kilowatts. The efficiency field says A. The coverage line says it heats areas up to 514 sq ft. No flue diameter is stated.
Who made it, according to the listing?
The brand line says OtoSystem. The manufacturer line says Prity LTD. Both review texts are from Germany, and the listing count is 6.
The Prity FGW15 is the only cooker in this set with a stated 15 litre back boiler, 1 inch water connections, and bullets that split the output into 5 kW to the room and 15 kW to water. It weighs 136 kg, measures 57 × 53 × 93 cm, and the amazon.co.uk line is 3.8 from 51 reviews. Of the 22 reviews read, two are from the United Kingdom: they mention radiator heat and shower water, and one says the water is hot in about an hour while the fire needs wood every 30 to 40 minutes. Other reviews in the same file describe smoke when the draught is closed, a lot of ash, an oven that works when the top does not, and a body one buyer calls steel rather than the cast iron printed in the material field. The listing also gives two oven sizes, efficiency as both 80% and 76.4%, a 130 mm flue, and a ventilation field that says vent free. Two Swedish reviews say the flue pipe has to be bought separately. The standards line cites EN 13240:2001, which is a roomheater standard and is not a UK smoke-control exemption.
Pros
Cons
Best for: A house that already has a heating circuit and someone at home to load the fire through the day.
Less suitable: An overnight fire, a hob you can plan from the listing, or a flue you expect to find in the box.
Specifications
Common questions
What outputs does the listing state?
The bullets say 5 kW to the room and 15 kW to water, with a 15 litre boiler and 1 inch water connections. The heat-output field says 15 kilowatts. Efficiency is given as 80% and as 76.4%.
Does a flue come in the box?
The listing does not list a flue pipe in the contents. It does state a 130 mm flue, while the ventilation field says vent free. Two Swedish reviews say the flue pipe has to be bought separately.
Is the body cast iron?
The material field says cast iron, and the finish field says powder coated. One review says the stove is steel, not cast iron. Those lines are not reconciled here.
The Prity W12PM is listed as a cooker back boiler at £799.00 and 115 kg, with a 130 mm top flue and an efficiency field of A. The heat lines do not agree: the title says 4+12 kW, the field says 12 kW, and a bullet says 16 kW maximum, and none of them states a water volume. The amazon.co.uk line is 3.2 from 6 reviews. Four texts are in the file, none from the United Kingdom: one French buyer used it for radiators and long oven dishes and bought the same model again after an older firebox gave out past ten years, while two reviews say the body is steel sheet and only the grate and hotplate are cast iron. A Spanish review says cast pieces broke within two years and were treated as outside the warranty, and another delivery arrived scratched. Coverage is up to 91 m² in the bullets and 1722.24 sq ft, marked estimated, in the field, and the oven size is not stated.
Pros
Cons
Best for: A second look at a back-boiler cooker, if you can get the water volume from the maker before you buy.
Less suitable: A first boiler install planned only from this page, or a buyer who wants a cast-iron body and an overnight fire.
Specifications
Common questions
Does the listing include a back boiler?
The title calls it a cooker back boiler. It does not state a water volume or label which part of 4+12 kW is water. The heat-output field says 12 kW, and a bullet says a maximum of 16 kW.
What is the body made of?
The material field says alloy steel. Two reviews say the body is steel sheet and that only small parts are cast iron. Neither of those reviews is from the United Kingdom.
What flue and area does the listing give?
The bullets say a top exhaust with a 130 mm pipe. They also say installations up to 91 m². The coverage field says 1722.24 square feet, marked estimated. Those area lines do not match.
We scored six amazon.co.uk listings on 15 October 2026 from the star line, the review file, the cooker specification and the shelf price inside this set. Deductions cover clashing figures, thin samples, review text from outside the United Kingdom, smoke or failed parts, a missing flue pipe, and a standards line that is not UK smoke-control approval. This is not a laboratory cook, and no model is treated as Defra-exempt or Ecodesign-compliant.
Star evidence
25%The amazon.co.uk star rating is divided by 5, multiplied by 25, and rounded to the nearest whole number. Half rounds up, so 4.3 becomes 22.
Review-base confidence
25%None of these listings has 100 reviews, so the scale is local to this set: 20 points for 50 or more reviews with a readable file, 8 for 5 to 19 reviews when the file contains text, 4 for a single written review, and 3 for a star line with no review text.
Cooker specification
30%Points cover oven detail, hob or boiler detail, a flue diameter you can hand to an installer, a heat figure you can quote without a clash, and a weight plus one footprint.

Start with the job: a fixed kitchen cooker, or a cooker with a back boiler. A room-heater stove and a tent stove are different products. A wood-burning cooker needs a flue route you can size and, in England and Wales, a notified install. It sits apart from outdoor furniture such as a [wooden garden table](/hub/garden-furniture/wooden-garden-table). Check smoke-control status and the review file before you treat a star line as a result.
A wood-burning cooker cooks on a hob and usually in an oven, and it also heats the room. In this set the body is a freestanding cooker in steel or cast iron, with a hotplate, an oven and a flue, at about 76 kg to 136 kg. A back-boiler cooker sends part of the output to water. The Prity FGW15 listing prints 5 kW to the room and 15 kW to water, with a 15 litre boiler and 1 inch connections. The Prity W12PM title prints 4 kW plus 12 kW and does not state a water volume.
Ecodesign limits on efficiency and emissions are not a Defra exemption. In a smoke control area, wood is allowed only in a Defra-exempt appliance. Ask the council, including for a summerhouse.
Flue pipe is often not in the box. Match the diameter to the outlet and to Approved Document J, and do not treat a printed 130 mm, or a vent-free line, as a finished chimney.
Five stars from one or two reviews is not a verdict. The largest file in this set is 51 reviews, and several cookers have one, two or six. Read where the text comes from before you treat the stars as a UK result.
If the cooker uses a chimney on a building, ask the council whether you are in a smoke control area before you compare stars. Wood is allowed there only in a Defra-exempt appliance. HETAS says cookers placed on the market from 1 January 2022 must meet Ecodesign limits. Those limits do not replace a Defra exemption. In England, smoke from a chimney can mean a penalty of up to £300, and buying unauthorised fuel for a non-approved appliance up to £1,000.
Check the hotplate, the oven, and a boiler only if a heating circuit already exists. Prometey Practik Lux is the only listing that names four hotplates and a measured baking compartment, at 9.5 kW and £824.65, on one review. The fuel field says electric and wood while the bullets say firewood, and type 2 means it cannot share a chimney. The LNEE states an oven size, 14 kW and a 130 mm flue at £608.63, with no review text and no weight.
Three typical situations, each with a recommendation from this comparison.
You have a flue route, you want a hob and an oven, and you can notify the install. Practik Lux is the only listing here that names four hotplates and a measured baking compartment. Treat the single review as a note, and do not read the fuel field as an electric hob.
You already have a heating circuit and someone at home to load the fire through the day. The FGW15 states a 15 litre boiler and splits output into 5 kW to the room and 15 kW to water. Leave it if you need heat while you are out, or a flue pipe in the box.
You want the lowest shelf price in this set that still names an oven, a cast-iron plate and a single 10 kW figure. The 1P34 is £540.00, at 76 kg. The oven size and flue diameter are not on the listing, and the review texts in the file are from Germany.
The Prity FGW15 has the highest editorial score in this set, so it is the top pick: a stated 15 litre back boiler and 3.8 from 51 reviews, with deductions for smoke, frequent loading, clashing specification lines and a flue pipe that is not in the box. The OtoSystem 1P34 is the best value at £540.00, the lowest shelf price that still names an oven, a cast-iron plate, a single 10 kW figure and a weight, with 4.3 from six reviews. The LNEE scores one point higher, but its value score is lower, the file has no review text and the weight is missing. Prometey Practik Lux has the fullest hob-and-oven sheet, on one review. This is not a laboratory cook, and no listing here is treated as Defra-exempt.
OtoSystem 1P34
At £540.00 it is the lowest shelf price that still names an oven, a cast-iron plate, a single 10 kW figure and a weight, with 4.3 from six reviews.
