Soapstone stove with hotplate: efficient heating and cooking in one

A compact soapstone stove with an integrated hotplate combines two functions that are once again in high demand, especially in times of rising energy costs: heating rooms and cooking with wood. At Heim und Handwerk in Munich, Specksteinland is showcasing a model that is suitable for kitchens as well as smaller living or ancillary rooms.

Cooking and heating with a compact wood-burning stove

The soapstone stove on show is deliberately designed to be compact. It heats up quickly and can be used flexibly - in a kitchen, hallway or cabin, for example. The hotplate is positioned directly above the firebox and makes it possible to prepare or keep food warm while the stove heats the room at the same time.

  • Cooking plate directly above the firebox
  • Cooking and heating at the same time
  • Use in the kitchen, hallway or adjoining room
The stove therefore fulfills several functions in a small space.

Heat storage through soapstone

A key advantage of soapstone is its ability to absorb heat and release it evenly over a longer period of time. Even after the fire has gone out, the material stores the energy and slowly releases it into the room.

  • High heat storage capacity
  • Even heat release
  • Reheating over several hours
In the model shown, the stored heat lasts for several hours and ensures a constant room temperature.

Self-sufficient heating independent of electricity and gas

Operation with wood makes the soapstone stove independent of fossil fuels and electricity. This is a practical benefit, especially in remote buildings or during power cuts. Cooking and heating remain possible without having to rely on electricity.

  • Operation exclusively with wood
  • Use even in the event of a power cut
  • Independence from oil and gas
This self-sufficiency makes the stove particularly interesting for huts or simple living situations.

Areas of application in everyday life

At the trade fair, it becomes clear that the soapstone stove is not intended as a replacement for a complete central heating system, but as a supplement or targeted solution for specific rooms. Its design and output make it particularly suitable for small to medium-sized areas.

  • Suitable for smaller rooms
  • Supplement to existing heating systems
  • Practical solution for kitchens and adjoining rooms
The stove can be used specifically where heat and cooking facilities are required.

Compact solution with high utility value

At Heim+Handwerk, the soapstone stove with hotplate shows how traditional heating technology can be sensibly combined with modern use. Fast heat, stored energy and the option of cooking make it a functional solution for anyone who wants to heat their home consciously and independently.
