Amish Craftsmanship Meets Modern Wood-Fired Cooking

The HECO 420 Wood & Coal Cookstove represents the next generation of North American cookstoves.

Designed to burn either seasoned firewood or anthracite coal, the HECO 420 provides up to 60,000 BTUs of heating power while delivering exceptional baking, cooking, and long burn times. Whether you're heating your home, baking fresh bread, cooking family meals, or preparing for off-grid living, the HECO 420 is built to perform.

🔥 Why Choose the HECO 420?

The HECO 420 was developed specifically for homeowners who want a true cookstove that also functions as a powerful heater. Unlike many decorative cookstoves, the HECO is built with large fireboxes, airtight construction, thermostatic draft controls, and easy-access cleaning systems.

Obadiah's has worked directly with DS Manufacturing to help develop many of the features incorporated into today's HECO lineup, resulting in one of the most refined cookstoves available in North America.
