The old-fashioned multi-fuel range idea in a kitchen has been updated to allow you enjoy the visual warmth of its solid fuel part. You can bake, fry, grill, slow cook, roast and boil like a pro. The Vulcano 7T cooker by Lacunza, which costs from €3,700 to €4,700 depending on its wattage, is also a place you can stand to defrost on a cold autumn evening, and features a deep firebox to allow a larger load of logs, and thus less frequent loading. It is available from Heat Design in Dublin 12. heatdesign.ie

2 Dutch design firm Interfocos has a couple of contemporary styles that will appeal to people looking for a recessed heat source.
