La Nordica Gardenia XXL Wood Burning Cook Stove

La Nordica Gardenia XXL Wood Burning Cook Stove

The La Nordica Gardenia XXL Wood Burning Cook Stove combines powerful wood-fired heating with traditional cooking, making it an impressive and highly versatile addition to the home. Part of La Nordica’s Prestige Line, the Gardenia XXL features a large cast iron oven, a substantial cooking surface and premium Italian construction, all wrapped up in a beautifully traditional design.

With a 10.5kW nominal heat output and efficiency of up to 86%, the Gardenia XXL is designed to heat spaces of up to approximately 301m³. Its advanced post-combustion system helps maximise the energy released from the wood while reducing emissions, providing efficient and cleaner-burning performance.

The standout feature is its generous 78-litre cast iron oven. Cast iron is particularly well suited to wood-fired cooking because it absorbs and retains heat before releasing it gradually, helping maintain a consistent cooking temperature. The oven measures approximately 438 × 408 × 436mm, giving you plenty of room for roasting, baking and family meals.

The Gardenia XXL also features cast iron cooking rings, allowing you to cook directly on the top of the stove using pans and traditional cookware. An Easy Pizza Kit, comprising a dedicated pizza stone and professional pizza peel, is also supplied, making it possible to use the stove for authentic wood-fired pizza.

Built for longevity, the Gardenia XXL incorporates enamelled cast iron doors, front and frame, along with a cast iron refractory hearth and double-glazed fire door. The large ceramic glass window provides an excellent view of the flames, while adjustable primary and secondary air controls give you greater control over the combustion process.

For everyday convenience, the stove includes an extractable ash drawer, ash collection tank and enamelled cast iron feet. An external air intake is also incorporated, providing greater installation flexibility, particularly in modern, well-insulated properties. The cast iron oven features a steam release valve and pull-out rails, adding further practicality when cooking.

The Gardenia XXL is available in several finishes, including Anthracite Black Steel, Natural Stone (Petra) and ceramic finishes in Bordeaux or White Infinity, allowing you to choose a version to complement your kitchen or living space.
