Description
Plamen 850 Black Wood-Burning Cooker with Oven
The Plamen Wood oven / stove Cooker Black combines home heating and wood-fired cooking in one freestanding appliance. Designed for burning wood, the Plamen 850 Black Wood-Burning Cooker features a spacious cast-iron firebox, cooking plate, built-in oven and log drawer.
With a rated heat output of 8 kW and maximum output of 11 kW, the Plamen 850 can provide substantial radiant heat while also allowing you to cook using the heat generated by the wood fire. Not only does it heat your home during winter, but it also allows you to harness the generated heat for cooking on the stovetop or in the oven, resulting in an off-grid, zero-electricity cooking solution.
Available in black and cream finishes, allowing you to choose a style that complements your kitchen, living area or country-style interior.
Other special order Colour Options: White and Red
This wood oven is available in LEFT and RIGHT flue connection design.
Designed, manufactured and tested in accordance with European (EN) standards and has CE marking affixed to it.
Heat Your Home and Cook With Wood
Unlike a conventional wood-burning fireplace that is primarily designed for heating, the Plamen 850 has been designed to combine wood-fired heating with everyday cooking.
The heat generated by the fire can be used on the cooking plate and within the built-in oven. This makes the Plamen 850 an interesting option for homeowners looking for a cooking appliance that can operate without electricity when using wood as the fuel source.
The South African Plamen range describes the 850 as a wood-burning stove and oven that can provide heating while allowing cooking on both the stovetop and in the oven.
Plamen 850 Wood Cooker Features
Built-In Wood-Fired Oven
The Plamen 850 incorporates a spacious oven designed for cooking and baking using heat generated by the wood fire.
The oven measures approximately 400 × 300 × 450 mm, providing useful cooking space while the firebox below supplies the heat.
The oven door incorporates a baking temperature control device, allowing the cooking temperature to be managed according to the manufacturer’s operating instructions.
Cast-Iron Firebox
The spacious firebox is manufactured from high-quality cast iron. Cast iron provides a robust construction for wood burning and helps the appliance deliver radiant heat into the room.
The combination of cast iron, a wood-burning firebox and a built-in oven makes the Plamen 850 different from a conventional freestanding wood fireplace.
Wood-Fired Cooking Plate
The Plamen 850 has a dedicated cooking plate above the firebox.
The cooking plate is coated with black enamel, which is designed to make cleaning and maintenance easier.
This allows the heat from the wood fire to be used for cooking directly on the stovetop as well as within the oven.
Heating and Cooking Without Electricity
One of the distinctive advantages of a wood-burning cooker is its ability to provide heat and cooking capability without relying on an electric oven.
The Plamen 850 can therefore be considered by homeowners looking for an alternative cooking method during power interruptions, or simply for those who enjoy traditional wood-fired cooking.
Its primary purpose remains wood-fired heating and cooking. Operate according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
Plamen 850 Heat Output
The Plamen 850 has an 8 kW rated heat output and a maximum output of 11 kW. The manufacturer specifies a heated space of up to 160 m³ for the 850 Glas N version.
The actual heating performance in a home will depend on factors such as insulation, ceiling height, room volume, glazing, room layout and climate.
For this reason, the manufacturer’s heated-volume figure should be treated as a guide when choosing the appliance rather than a guaranteed floor-area measurement.

Is the Plamen 850 a Fireplace or a Wood Cooker?
The Plamen 850 can be considered a wood-burning cooker, wood stove with oven and heating appliance rather than a conventional fireplace.
Its primary distinction is that the heat from the wood fire is used for multiple purposes: heating the room, cooking on the stovetop and cooking or baking in the built-in oven.
This makes it particularly suitable for homeowners who want more functionality from a wood-burning appliance than a standard freestanding fireplace provides.
Who Is the Plamen 850 Suitable For?
The Plamen 850 can be considered by homeowners who want to combine wood-fired heating and cooking in a single appliance.
It may be particularly appealing for:
- Country and farmhouse-style homes.
- Homes where wood-fired cooking is preferred.
- Homeowners looking for an alternative cooking method during power interruptions.
- Kitchens or living spaces where a traditional wood cooker can become a focal point.
- Properties where a wood-burning appliance is required for both heating and cooking.
The correct appliance should always be selected according to the requirements of the installation space and the intended use.

The Plamen 850 requires a correctly designed and installed flue system. The appliance uses a 120 mm flue connection, with the exact flue arrangement depending on the selected version.
