, by Alex Wesseling, 3 min reading time
With rising energy prices, more and more people are looking for alternative ways to heat their homes. A wood stove is not only an efficient and sustainable way to generate heat, but did you know that you can also cook on it? And we’re not just talking about roasting marshmallows or heating up ready-made meals!
With the right wood stove, like the Go Eco Adventurer 5 Glamping Stove or the Go Eco BakeChef , you can cook full meals. Both models are Ecodesign approved and can also be used in smoke-free zones (DEFRA-exempt). With a spacious cooking surface, multi-fuel options and a range of accessories, these stoves are perfect for adventurous chefs.
Fully customizable for any space
The Go Eco Adventurer 5 excels in versatility. Specially designed for narrow spaces such as houseboats and tiny houses, this stove offers:
✔️ A marine standard base plate (BS 8511 compliant) – Safe and stable for use on boats
✔️ Heat Shields – Reduces the minimum distance to flammable materials to just 70mm at the sides and 75mm at the rear
✔️ Optional wood storage compartment – Raises the stove and makes it easier to store firewood
✔️ Stainless steel splash guards – Protect your walls from grease and splashes while cooking
✔️ Handy warming shelves – Perfect for keeping multiple dishes warm at the same time

One of the most popular features of these stoves is the integrated oven . This oven, which sits elegantly on top of the stove, features:
✅ A thermometer

With an additional wood storage and oven you have a complete off-grid kitchen solution , ideal for compact living spaces, holiday homes and adventurous outdoor kitchens.
