La Nordica Rosa Maiolica Wood Cookstove — Bordeaux

The La Nordica Rosa Maiolica cookstove is built around one standout number: 87.1% efficiency, among the more fuel-conscious wood cookstoves on the market. It burns roughly 5 lbs of wood per hour while producing up to 28,662 BTU/hr, enough to supplement heating in a mid-sized kitchen while the oven is in use. The Bordeaux tile finish is applied by hand in Italy, over a fully cast iron firebox and cooktop designed for decades of daily use.

The 13″ x 11.8″ x 16″ oven handles everyday baking — bread, casseroles, roasts — while the cast iron cooktop provides multiple zones for simmering and boiling. At 40.6″ wide and 450 lbs, it’s sized for a dedicated kitchen spot rather than a tight utility space. Note that the stove’s 150mm (5.9″) flue outlet requires an adapter to connect to standard 6″ chimney systems. UL and ULC tested, with a wood storage drawer built into the base.
