The principle of a wood cooker is simple: The food is prepared in a
pan on a metal hearth plate under which a small, hot fire burns. The
models can be heated continually. |

Our cookers
are heavy – ranging between 680 to approximately 1500 kg – and
are made on site.
It takes us an average of two says to build a wood cooker.
A wood cooker made by Vuurmeesters works according to the
counter-flow-principle. The hot gasses created in the
brick-layered fire core are led by counter-flow-channels down to
the floor.
On their way down they give their warmth to the surrounding
materials.
The mass of the cooker absorbs the heat and then slowly releases
it. Long after the fire has died out, the cooker is still
sending warmth into the room. The cast iron hearth plate ensures
that the air warms up fast. Massive cookers are
environment-friendly and have a high output. |
Cooker
In the fire core, behind the cast iron heater door, a fire is
made. After approximately five minutes a fire burns with a
constant temperature on which you can easily and quickly make a
nutritious meal.
Meals that need to cook for a while or that must be made using
high temperatures can be placed on the cast iron hearth plate
directly above the fire. For meals that need to stew or simmer
you can just move the pan further to the edge of the hearth
plate. This way you can control the temperature of the pans.
A wood cooker offers you many possibilities: cooking, baking,
warming, thawing, grilling, keeping warm, rising, drying and
baking on bricks.
With a massive wood cooker you can save energy costs and be
independent of electricity and natural gas or oil. |

Bake-oven in wood
cooker
A lot of our cookers are fitted with a bake-oven. In some you can
make a fire; others are heated indirectly by the fire burning in the
fire core. The fire provides not only warmth and comfort, but also a
unique flavour.
First, a fire is made in a brick-layered massive bake-oven. When all
the glow has died, the baking can commence.
This can be done directly on the brick-layered floor of the
bake-oven or in a fireproof saucer or baking tin.
We also supply cookers with a closed bake-oven made from cast iron.
You can’t make a fire in these metal bake-ovens: the bake-oven is
heated by the warm exhaust-gasses that flow next to it.
In a bake-oven kit your food can thaw, warm up or stay warm. |
