La Nordica Rosa Sinistra Reverse Wood Cookstove — Liberty Bordeaux

The La Nordica Rosa Sinistra Reverse cookstove solves a problem most wood cookstoves ignore: what to do with the oven when you don’t want it running in July. Its built-in bypass system lets you disengage oven heat for warm-weather cooking while keeping the cast iron firebox burning for the cooktop. Handcrafted in Italy with a Liberty Bordeaux ceramic tile exterior, this 403-lb stove delivers 28,000 BTU/hr at 86.5% efficiency — among the more fuel-efficient cookstoves in its class, using roughly 5 lbs of wood per hour.

Notable features include a cast iron firebox and panoramic enamel oven with a built-in thermometer, an integrated lower warming and storage compartment, a ceramic glass viewing window with a chromed cooktop frame, and an optional outside air connection for tightly sealed homes.

At 40.5″ wide and 33.5″ tall, it fits most kitchen layouts, and the reverse-flue design pulls extra heat through the oven before it exits the flue. UL and ULC tested for North American installation.
