500C multi-fuel
This 5kW stove offers form and function in perfect harmony. Its balanced proportions, elegant curves and cast iron detailing have been created from a furniture design perspective by leading designer Paul Galley, whilst its fuel burning capability has evolved, like all ESSE stoves over a century and a half. The 500C is simple to operate and this multi-fuel version will happily burn wood and any type of solid fuel.
The 500C can burn multi-fuel and/or wood, but for improved wood burning performance a conversion kit is available that is simple to fit and will improve control and efficiency when burning logs.
500C wood burning
For dedicated wood burners, a wood only model is also available which offers even better wood-burning performance. Our 500C wood-burning model achieved an exceptional 80% efficiency in recent testing in accordance with EN 13240. This dedicated wood-burner has a deeper firebox with no grate, enabling larger logs to be loaded and provides a flat base for an ash bed to develop which is essential when burning wood.
